American singer Brandon Howard has withdrawn from Russia’s Intervision song contest just days before it begins, with Australian-born dance artist Vassy named as his replacement.
For most users, secure DNS is sufficient instead of VPNs and fixes indexer connectivity issues without the complexity and problems of VPN setups
Are VPNs no longer the recommended practice? I was under the impression a VPN was pretty much required for sharing stuff in a copyright-sensitive country. I'd be delighted if I could simplify my app stack.
As far as I know the arr suite tools do not download things. They scour publicly available pages for torrent links and meta data, so they don't really need to be behind a VPN. The download client it all ends in should definitely be behind a VPN though
I think you need to look at the points above, where it lists the cases where VPN is recommended:
When VPNs are Needed Highly Restrictive Countries: China or Australia where internet access is heavily restricted ISP Throttling: If your ISP specifically throttles or blocks BitTorrent traffic Legal Requirements: If local laws require VPN use for P2P/BitTorrent activities
Not sure where you're located, but in most of the USA, not using a VPN runs you the risk of at least getting a nastygram from your ISP. How much that means to you depends on how worried you are about getting your service disconnected or sued by the owner of whatever you're seeding. For me personally, a VPN is a no-brainer.
ETA: I may have missed the subtler point of your post. I personally do not have my *arr apps behind a VPN, only my torrenting app. I think that is what the wiki is specifically addressing.
Maybe for troubleshooting? Like they say for Gluetun part, and Prowlarr indexers needing more configurations. I think it's recommended to use a vpn in most countries.
Also: VPN is only really needed for torrenting, and that's not the only way to pirate stuff. Usenet is perfectly fine to use without a VPN, since it's encrypted (TLS/SSL if you configure it right) and other parties can't just join your P2P network to see what you're doing.
Worse performance, not everything works, and depending on the country you live in and which VPN provider you pick a VPN can actually be a downgrade in privacy since a second commercial entity now has the ability to look at all your traffic and distil valuable data from it to sell. The better VPN providers say they don't do this (and some probably don't) but a lot of them will definitely do so.
Reddit Inc. is in early talks to strike its next content-sharing agreement with Alphabet Inc.’s Google, aiming to extract more value from future deals now that its data plays a prominent role in search results and generative AI training.
Chairman Comer: The politically motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk claimed the life of a husband, father, and American patriot. In the wake of this tragedy, and amid other acts of politically motivated violence, Congress has a duty to oversee the online platforms that radicals have used to advance political violence. To prevent future radicalization and violence, the CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit must appear before the Oversight Committee and explain what actions they will take to ensure their platforms are not exploited for nefarious purposes
The United Kingdom shamelessly prostrated itself at the feet of Donald Trump on Wednesday, throwing a lavish welcoming party for his state visit to Windsor that resembled less diplomacy and more fealty.
In doing so, the U.K. has revealed something deeply unflattering about itself—in the scramble to keep America close, it will debase itself and its values completely.
It will silence dissent, empty out its traditions, and rent out its monarch like a sex worker, deployed to flatter the ego of a man who has spent much of his political life suggesting he should be treated like one, a monarch, not a sex worker, that is.
As stage props go, the monarchy is unbeatable. But if this is what the “special relationship” between the U.S and the U.K. now means, it looks to many in Britain less like a partnership and more like groveling, feudal servitude.
Imagine paying top dollar for a brand-new high-end refrigerator only to be greeted with ads on the door display. Sounds like a nightmare? Unfortunately, this nightmare is coming true for Samsung refrigerator owners with the latest update rolling out to their fridges.
“Believe Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson,” added Greene, referring to the two MAGA influencers pushing anti-Israel conspiracy theories around Kirk’s death
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously agreed to occupy two different houses at the same time as his "principal residence," Bloomberg News reported, an agreement similar to one President Donald Trump has called mortgage fraud in his unprecedented bid to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
After the launch ChatGPT sparked the generative AI boom in Silicon Valley in late 2022, it was mere months before OpenAI turned to selling the software as an automation product for businesses. (It was first called Team, then Enterprise.) And it wasn’t long after that before it became clear that the jobs managers were likeliest to automate successfully weren’t the dull, dirty, and dangerous ones that futurists might have hoped: It was, largely, creative work that companies set their sights on. After all, enterprise clients soon realized that the output of most AI systems was too unreliable and too frequently incorrect to be counted on for jobs that demand accuracy. But creative work was another story.
As a result, some of the workers that have been most impacted by clients and bosses embracing AI have been in creative fields like art, graphic design, and illustration. Since the LLMs trained and sold by Silicon Valley companies have ingested countless illustrations, photos, and works of art (without the artists’ permission), AI products offered by Midjourney, OpenAI, and Anthropic can recreate images and designs tailored to a clients’ needs—at rates much cheaper than hiring a human artist. The work will necessarily not be original, and as of now it’s not legal to copyright AI-generated art, but in many contexts, a corporate client will deem it passable—especially for its non-public-facing needs.
This is why you’ll hear artists talk about the “good enough” principle. Creative workers aren’t typically worried that AI systems are so good they’ll be rendered obsolete as artists, or that AI-generated work will be better than theirs, but that clients, managers, and even consumers will deem AI art “good enough” as the companies that produce it push down their wages and corrode their ability to earn a living. (There is a clear parallel to the Luddites here, who were skilled technicians and clothmakers who weren’t worried about technology surpassing them, but the way factory owners used it to make cheaper, lower-quality goods that drove down prices.)
Sadly, this seems to be exactly what’s been happening, at least according to the available anecdata. I’ve received so many stories from artists about declining work offers, disappearing clients, and gigs drying up altogether, that it’s clear a change is afoot—and that many artists, illustrators, and graphic designers have seen their livelihoods impacted for the worse. And it’s not just wages. Corporate AI products are inflicting an assault on visual arts workers’ sense of identity and self-worth, as well as their material stability.
Not just that, but as with translators, the subject of the last installment of AI Killed My Job, there’s a widespread sense that AI companies are undermining a crucial pillar of what makes us human; our capacity to create and share art. Some of these stories, I will warn you, are very hard to read—to the extent that this is a content warning for descriptions of suicidal ideation—while others are absurd and darkly funny. All, I think, help us better understand how AI is impacting the arts and the visual arts industry. A sincere thanks to everyone who wrote in and shared their stories.
“I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing,” as the from SF author Joanna Maciejewska memorably put it, “not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.” These stories show what happens when it’s the other way around.
Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.
Varios centros educativos madrileños han recibido desde la semana pasada llamadas de la inspección de educación para que retiren toda simbología relacionada con el apoyo a Gaza, donde la ofensiva de Israel ha matado a cerca de 65.000 personas en algo menos de dos años. El Gobierno de Isabel Díaz Ayuso, quien ha sido hostil con las manifestaciones propalestinas, considera que la política debe permanecer alejada del entorno escolar a pesar de que tras la invasión rusa de Ucrania en 2022 permitió y fomentó en los colegios madrileños la solidaridad con el pueblo ucranio.

In 2021, when Italy was suffering hundreds of deaths per day from Covid, it wasn't any capitalist nation that helped Italy. It's EU co-members wanted money and austerity to give even meager support.
No, rather it was tiny socialist Cuba who deployed the doctor brigades in the worst-hit European country, putting themselves at risk selflessly, and helped save thousands of Italian lives, without ever asking anything in return.
There is a private tracker named materialize. Small and not easy to get into quickly, but if you're on other private trackers check their invite forums. You should be able to find a thread (probably closed) if you're on a big enough private tracker. And then you just wait for them to open the thread and start taking applications again.

It would be easy to believe America is tipping into an era of rampant political bloodshed.
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, voices from across the spectrum sounded alarms that the shooting was just the latest flashpoint in a rising tide of violence.
Progressive commentator Hasan Piker, shaken after watching video of Kirk’s murder, warned his audience of “people looking for decentralized forms of violence.” A Reuters analysis was even more blunt, declaring Kirk’s killing “a watershed moment in a surge of U.S. political violence.” Even Utah’s Republican governor mused whether this marked “the beginning of a darker chapter in our history.”
These aren’t the first calls for open strife. When Donald Trump himself was shot last year, some right-wing figures rushed to declare it the opening salvo of a new civil war.
Are we on the brink of another 1960s-style season of political assassinations and unrest?
A funny thing is happening beneath the apocalyptic headlines: Rather than surging, key indicators of political violence and extremism in the U.S. have actually been trending downward in recent months. New findings from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, or ACLED, show that protest and extremist activity has dropped significantly nationwide.
In August, the number of public demonstrations in the U.S. plummeted by nearly 40 percent compared to the month before. A much-hyped progressive day of action called “Rage Against the Regime” fizzled with only modest turnouts, contributing to the sharp decline in protests.
And, perhaps most tellingly, organized extremist incidents — rallies, hate marches, militant group meet-ups — fell off a cliff. ACLED reports that extremist group activity dropped by over one-third in August, hitting its lowest level in more than five years. It’s part of a steady decline in far-right mobilization that dates back to 2023.
In other words, according to ACLED, by the time commentators were warning that Kirk’s murder heralded a new wave of violence, extremist activism on the ground was at a multiyear low.
Five-Year Low
The contrast between the panic-stricken narrative and ACLED’s hard numbers is striking. Yes, politically motivated attacks still occur and can be horrific. Yet the broader trend in extremist mobilization suggests less organized violence, not more.
ACLED’s data-driven analysis notes multiple factors behind the slump. There are possibly more clandestine tactics by groups. Leadership failures could account for a lack of organization. And a big one: There is a loss of “urgency” among extremist followers because they see their views reflected in mainstream politics.
It turns out that when your side is already winning, you don’t need to storm the barricades.
Even Princeton’s Bridging Divides Initiative, which closely monitors political violence across the country, acknowledges that incidents remained relatively low in 2024. Their analysis, grounded in real-time event tracking, confirms that, while we’ve seen marked upticks in threats recently, the overall trend in political violence has declined since the peak years around 2020.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC, observed the same phenomenon in its latest Year in Hate and Extremism report. The SPLC counted 1,371 active hate and extremist groups in 2024, down from 1,430 in 2023. The group concluded the slight drop “does not signify declining influence” at all. Rather, it’s because many on the far right “feel their beliefs have become normalized in government and mainstream society,” according to the report.
In plain English: Why organize a fringe militia when your agenda is being adopted on Capitol Hill and made into policy by the White House?
This dynamic helps explain why the immediate wake of Kirk’s assassination hasn’t unleashed the spate of tit-for-tat violence some feared.
Why organize a fringe militia when your agenda is being adopted on Capitol Hill?
The far-right ecosystem, which in years past might have exploded with vengeful rallies or vigilante reprisals, has been relatively muted in terms of on-the-ground action. To be sure, there was plenty of online fury and calls for crackdowns. Offline, organized extremist events, though, remain in a lull.
The shock and outrage did not translate into a Proud Boys revival or a new wave of militias taking to the streets.
Energy on the left, meanwhile, is already flagging. Its protest movements have been quieter than expected during Trump’s second term.
Progressives pulled off several “days of action” earlier in the year, but by late summer the protests were losing steam. The energy that fueled huge anti-Trump demonstrations in 2024 ebbed, reflected in the 40 percent drop in protest activity.
At least for now, both sides of the spectrum are mobilizing less in the streets — albeit for very different reasons.
An Advancing Agenda
All of this leads to an ironic possibility: Political violence may be declining largely because the would-be perpetrators feel they don’t need it anymore.
The American far right, once relegated to the fringe, now sees its formerly “extremist” ideas being enacted through mainstream institutions.
As the SPLC report noted, positions that might have once only been pushed via hate rallies — anti-LGBTQ+ hostility, attacks on “woke” education, dismantling diversity programs — have seeped into legislation and school board policies.
In 2024, militant groups harassed diversity and inclusion efforts, and soon after, Republican lawmakers, egged on by Trump, moved to ban discussion of race and gender in classrooms.
After Kirk’s killing, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller went on Kirk’s podcast to vow revenge on left-wing groups. Vice President JD Vance, for his part, announced his intent to attack two of the top liberal foundations and a historic magazine of the left.
Guns and intimidation aren’t necessary.
The decline in violent extremism is welcome, but the apparent reasons behind it should give us pause. What does it say about the state of the country when extremists stand down not because they’ve been defeated, but because they think they’ve won? It suggests that the battleground has shifted. The fights that once took place at the margins — in backwoods compounds or tense street protests — are now unfolding in courtrooms, statehouses, and school boards.
Liberals know it too: The relative quiet on the left could well be a sign of resignation, as if even the opposition recognizes that the hard right’s agenda has the upper hand.
America may be “a very, very dangerous spot” as one expert told Reuters, but not for the reasons cable news would have us believe. The danger isn’t an impending civil war in the streets; it’s a creeping normalization of hard-line political goals that no longer require mob violence to be realized.
The assassins and agitators are stepping back, confident that the system now carries their torch for them.
The danger isn’t an impending civil war in the streets; it’s a creeping normalization of hard-line political goals.
Still, Kirk’s assassination cannot be brushed aside. For all the evidence that political violence has ebbed, singular events can act as catalysts, jolting extremists out of dormancy. This killing could become a ramp toward a new future of violence.
If history is any guide, however, it won’t be in the form of clashes. The capacity, and appetite, for that kind of confrontation seems to have dwindled.
Today’s great danger likely isn’t open war in the streets, but the quiet march of an extremist agenda already advancing through institutions. That may bring with it an even greater violence.
White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller vowed Monday to use the killing of Charlie Kirk to target a “vast domestic terror movement” of left-wing political organizations that he said without evidence had led to the conservative act…
They know who you are, where you live, how much money you make and where you spent your last vacation.
They’re watching what websites you visit, tracking your mouse movements while you’re there and what you’ve left behind in virtual shopping carts. Mac or PC? iPhone or Android? Your preferences have been gathered and logged.
And they’ve got the toolkit, powered by artificial intelligence software, to assemble all this information to zero in on exactly how much you’re likely willing to pay for any product or service that might strike your fancy.
The “they” is a combination of retailers and service providers, social media operators, app developers, big data brokers and a host of other entities with whom you have voluntarily and involuntarily shared personal and behavioral information. And they’ve even come up with new labels to make you feel better about the systems that are using your personal data to set a custom price.
Dynamic pricing. Personalized pricing. Even “discount pricing.”

Germany's position has been reverted to UNDECIDED.
Despite expressing concerns about breaking end-to-end encryption, Germany refrained from taking a definitive stance on the Chat Control proposal during the September 12th LEWP meeting. A willingness to negotiate and compromise remains.
This is an unfortunate development as Germany is crucial to defeating Chat Control.
Derzeit ist eine Einigung zur Chatkontrolle auf Ebene der EU-Mitgliedstaaten im Rat noch nicht absehbar. Doch ob etwa die Ablehnung aus Deutschland zum massenhaften Scannen privater Kommunikation weiter hält, ist ungewiss.
A Meshtastic node has been one of the toys of the moment over the last year, and since they are popular with radio amateurs there’s a chance you’ll already live within range of at least one. They can typically run from a lithium-ion or li-po battery, so it’s probable that like us you’ve toyed with the idea of running one from a solar panel. It’s something we have in common with [saveitforparts], whose experiments with a range of different solar panels .
He has three different models: one based around a commercial solar charger, another using an off-the-shelf panel, and a final one using the panel from a solar garden light. As expected the garden light panel can’t keep an ESP32 with a radio going all day, but the other two manage even in the relatively northern climes of Alaska.
As a final stunt he puts one of the nodes out on a rocky piece of the southern Alaskan coastline, for any passing hacker to find. It’s fairly obviously in a remote place, but it seems passing cruise ships will be within its range. We just know someone will take up his challenge and find it.

I literally had no idea about his activism. He's quite the fascinating character when off-screen.
Cromwell certainly looks and sounds the part of an old lefty who might have a Che Guevara poster in the attic and consider Bernie Sanders to be too soft on capitalism. When the Guardian visits his home – a log cabin in the farming town of Warwick, upstate New York, where he lives with his third wife, the actor Anna Stuart – he rises from a chair at the hearth with a warm greeting and outstretched hand (it is a big hand that would have required a generous dollop of glue).
Cromwell stands at 6ft 7in tall like a great weathered oak. “Probably 10 years ago, I heard somebody smart say we’re already a fascist state,” he says. “We have turnkey fascism. The key is in the lock. All they have to do is the one thing to turn it and open Pandora’s box. Out will come every exception, every loophole that the Congress has written so assiduously into their legislation.”
Cromwell has seen this movie before. His father John Cromwell, a renowned Hollywood director and actor, was blacklisted during the McCarthy era of anti-communist witch-hunts merely for making comments at a party praising aspects of the Russian theatre system for nurturing young talent and contrasting it with the “used up” culture of Hollywood.
He marched against the Vietnam war, supported the Black Panthers, has protested over animal rights, ended up in prison after a climate sit-in – and starred in Babe, LA Confidential and Succession. He explains how he became the ultimate activist-actor

Writing well is a valuable skill whether you’re a student, professional, or content creator. Clear, error-free writing builds credibility and helps your message shine. However, spotting every mistake on your own can be difficult. This is where digital tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors become essential. If you are just getting started, this guide will walk you through how to use these tools effectively to polish your writing.
Why Use a Grammar Checker? Grammar checkers are designed to detect common writing issues such as spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, subject-verb disagreements, and improper sentence structures. For beginners, they serve as a user-friendly solution to improve writing quality without needing advanced grammar knowledge. Benefits include: • Saving time on proofreading • Catching unnoticed errors • Improving sentence clarity • Offering learning opportunities with explanations of mistakes
How to Use a Grammar Checker 1. Choose a Tool – Popular options include Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and Quillbot. Many offer free versions with basic features. 2. Paste or Upload Your Text – Most tools let you copy-paste text or upload a document directly. 3. Review Suggestions – Pay attention to each correction offered. A good practice is to understand why the correction is suggested rather than just accepting it blindly. 4. Apply or Ignore – Not every suggestion fits your writing style. Use judgment to accept corrections that improve clarity without changing the meaning. 5. Recheck Your Work – After edits, run the text again to ensure it is polished.
Adding a Plagiarism Checker While grammar checkers fix errors, plagiarism checkers ensure originality. Beginners often unintentionally copy text by paraphrasing too closely or forgetting citations. How to use a plagiarism checker: • Paste your text into a reliable tool like Turnitin, Grammarly’s plagiarism checker, or Quetext. • Review the report, which highlights matched content sources. • Rephrase flagged sections or add proper citations to make your work original. Using a plagiarism checker not only prevents academic or professional issues but also boosts your credibility as a writer.
Free AI Content Detector: Ensuring Authenticity With the rise of AI-generated text, many institutions and platforms now require proof that content is authentically human-written. Free AI content detectors help by analyzing whether your text resembles machine-generated language. Steps for beginners: • Copy and paste your work into a detector tool such as GPTZero, Originality.ai, or Scribbr’s AI detector. • Check the percentage score—it will show how “human-like” your writing appears. • If your score suggests high AI involvement, review areas that sound generic or overly formal. Rewrite them in your voice for more authenticity.
Best Practices for Beginners • Use these tools as a guide, not a crutch. Don’t rely on them to do all the thinking for you. • Combine grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and content detectors for a complete polish. • Always reread your work manually; no tool is 100% perfect. • Learn from the corrections. Over time, you’ll notice fewer mistakes in your drafts.
Final Thoughts For beginners, writing may seem overwhelming, but tools like grammar checkers, plagiarism checkers, and AI content detectors simplify the process. They ensure your writing is not only error-free but also original and human-authentic. By using these tools wisely, you can grow into a confident writer with polished, professional content.

Imagine trusting a LLM to check if the text another LLM wrote resemble too much LLM writing. Get the fuck out of here with your trash.
If you actually think you need help with writing the best things you can do is 1. read more and take note of how professional and famous writers use language and grammar to convey what they want to say 2. Write more things, then let some time pass, read why you wrote then fix any things you're not happy with then repeat until satisfied, the more you do it the less you'll need to fix mistakes and the better you'll be at writing
