Are you using a time machibe to access Amazon in the past? Because for me the experience looks more like this:
- I type in "amazon.com" in my browser
- I use the search bar and get a bunch of sponsored results that are not what I was searching for at all and all use the same garbage photoshopped photos
- I scroll through pages upon pages of irrelevant dropshipped garbage offered by companies like JHUVOY, BRILGOVA and other random letters.
- I finally find something that looks like it's not a cheap knockoff
- I add it to my shopping cart and click through offers for Amazon prime and offers for dropshipped garbage that I might want to add to my cart.
- I proceed to payment
Sigh, I really miss the old internet, I truly do...

Media and Medics Boat to Gaza to Launch Oct 1
NOTE 🚨: this is in addition to the current Global Sumud Flotilla coalition making its way to Gaza
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) will launch a dedicated boat carrying international journalists and medical professionals to Gaza on October 1, 2025
The boat is scheduled to sail by October 1 and plans to join the other FFC and Thousand Madleens to Gaza boats on their journey.
For nearly two years, Israel has denied foreign journalists entry into Gaza, creating one of the most severe press blackouts in recent history… At the same time, Gaza’s health system has been systematically dismantled under Israel’s siege and bombardment.
In response, the FFC is assembling a boat of journalists and healthcare professionals to:
- Provide the international press an opportunity to report directly from Gaza
- Deliver urgently needed medical expertise and solidarity alongside Gaza’s decimated health workforce.

It's open source and available on F-Droid: f-droid.org/packages/dev.clomb…
GitHub: github.com/t895/DNSNetIt enables a VPN to intercept requests, so it can block URLs of trackers across all your apps. The app provides a list of URLs as you open it for the first time, you can choose a few options between less or more aggressive.
Obs.: The app don't tell, but when you add a custom URL you need to disable and enable it again.

Thoughts on stremio? And more generally, when should I worry about trackers?
Hi,
I've seen stremio pop up a few times in my feed recently and decided to give a look. It's seems like I could use it with torrentio, but my concern is that the apps comes with a few trackers, amongst which 3 facebook trackers (share, login & analytics).
I don't know much about trackers, how they work, and what I should worry about, so I mostly try to avoid them, but could someone here tell me if I should worry about these facebook trackers (I don't use fb, but since it's pretty much the Devil itself...), and maybe suggest resources on how to get informed on trackers, what they do, and when to worry about it?
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,

New home server, NixOS vs Proxmox vs Arch
Hey everyone!
I’ve been rocking Proxmox for a little over a year on an old Mac Mini with a failing NIC (I probably damaged it when I installed the SSD). So I decided it was time to get some new used cheap hardware and I have just received a HP Elitedesk 800 G3 SFF, going to throw 32GB of RAM, a 1TB M2 NVMe boot drive and a 4TB SATA drive for media in it (this will replace my external 4TB drive).
Right now in Proxmox I’m running a Docker VM with Debian (Transmission-VPN container, ByteStash, FreshRSS, KaraKeep), another Debian VM for Visual Studio Code so I can remote into VS Code on my Mac and iPad and couple of LXC containers (Plex, Open WebUI and Pi Hole).
Honestly Proxmox feels like overkill for what I’m doing, half of what I’m doing is either individual LXC containers or I find myself SSH’ing into the Docker VM. The Proxmox helper scripts are great, but I feel like I’m not learning much and I don’t know how much I can trust random GitHub URLs.
I’d like to start learning and becoming more self-sufficient with Linux. I was pretty excited by the idea of learning NixOS, get comfortable learning the code and then creating distinct configurations for different systems, including my Mac devices with Darwin… then I was reminded of all the recent bullshit happening in the community… I don’t want to get deep into the discussion in this thread, but I don’t really want to use/support a distro that Palmer Luckey and Anduril are trying to influence and control.
So I’m trying to decide if I should stick with Proxmox, try something like Arch or keep an eye on what’s going down with Nix and have a good backup strategy if the situation worsens.
I’d probably switch from Docker to Podman, use Wayland with Niri and learn NeoVIM and use SSH instead of VS Code remote tunnels.
Based on my current setup and my goals, what would you suggest I do?
like this
Debian and then maybe Guix on top of that. Rootless Podman for services.
There is no good reason to choose Arch in 2025. If you want to feel special, NixOS or Guix System is the way to go.
I think Guix is way more coherent than Nix. It also has better documentation and a more friendly community. And you use Scheme instead of Nix lang.
I use NixOS, but it is not for learning how Linux works; realistically it's for when you already know how Linux typically works, so you can understand when it breaks some of those norms.
If you want to learn how containers etc work, use straight-up Debian.
I really don't recommend arch for a server. On a desktop absolutely but what I want for a server is to be able to let it sit for 6 months, then update it and not have everything break; arch works best with frequent update hygiene.
Upgrading video quality for non-English content?
I find myself downloading a lot of movies that are dubbed in latino Spanish. I've checked fmhy torrents, but unfortunately, there just isn't a lot of latino Spanish content available on torrents.
(Yes, there is a lot of Spanish Spanish content... but... meehhh...)
However, I have had better luck with fmhy streaming. It's not the best quality, 720p or 1080p if I'm lucky. But it's better than nothing.
I was recently wondering, how does dubbing actually work? Is there a video difference between English and Spanish movies? Or is there just literally an audio track being swapped out?
Could I take an audio track from a 720p stream and add it to a 4K torrented movie file and expect the audio and video to line up?
like this
For content from streaming platforms like Netflix, the audio and video lines up most of the time. The dub might be a bit longer at the end, but that doesn't matter; it's only the credits.
For Blu-ray and DVDs, it's a bigger problem. The audio and video lines don't usually line up: different production company logos of different lengths and maybe minor regional differences. You could probably adjust the audio delay in the video player to get a decent experience.
mpv is good video player where it is easily possible to play the video from one file and the audio from another.
You already had some good advices but something I haven't seen mentioned. If you use Kodi (and probably a couple others media player), you could use some sub plugin like open subtitle (forgot other names) to fetch subtitles on the fly when you will play video. It can be hit or miss at first, but subtitles name are like release name (title, quality, release group). So if you often encounter a release group that do your sub language. Try to download video from same release group, so you will have better chance that audio/sub sync properly.
This apart, +1 for private tracker as already mentioned, you may need some searching to find one but worth it.

Hungary bans 12 Ukrainian media outlets
Hungary blocked 12 Ukrainian media outlets in response to Kyiv's earlier ban on several foreign publications over Russian narratives, Hungarian Cabinet Minister Gergely Gulyas said on Sept. 29.
Several Hungarian media outlets were among those temporarily restricted in Ukraine by an order by the State Special Communications Service on Sept. 8
According to Gulyas, Ukraine blocked the Hungarian outlets Origo and Demokrata because they "dared to write critically about the policy of sanctions against Russia, Ukraine's armed support, and portray the EU and NATO as fragmented and ineffective organizations."
Gulyas described the ban on Hungarian outlets in Ukraine as "a completely unjustified attack."
The list of 12 banned Ukrainian media outlets in Hungary includes several popular sources such as Ukrainska Pravda, European Pravda, NV, hromadske and TSN.
"With Ukraine's accession, the EU would only become more fragmented," Gulyas wrote on Facebok.
The news marks the most recent point of tension amid strained relations between Kyiv and Budapest.
Hungary is broadly seen as the most Kremlin-friendly government in the EU and NATO. The country has consistently obstructed aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia throughout the full-scale war.
Ukraine applied for EU membership shortly after Russia launched its war in 2022 and was granted candidate status within months.
As an EU member, Hungary has veto power over further progress.
Last week, reconnaissance drones likely belonging to Hungary had violated Ukraine's airspace along the border, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Budapest rejected the allegations.

More than 100,000 federal workers to quit on Tuesday in largest ever mass resignation
Workers preparing to leave the government have described how months of “fear and intimidation” left them feeling like they had no choice but to depart.
“Federal workers stay for the mission. When that mission is taken away, when they’re scapegoated, when their job security is uncertain, and when their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away, they leave,” a longtime employee at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) told the Guardian. “That’s why I left.”

The Supreme Court is considering Ghislaine Maxwell’s petition. Here’s what to know.
Maxwell argues she was unfairly charged in New York, citing Epstein’s notorious non-prosecution agreement in Florida that said, in part, that “the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein.”
Her lawyers present the issue as one that requires the justices to resolve a split among the nation’s appellate courts regarding whether a promise on behalf of the “United States” or the “Government” that’s made by a U.S. attorney in one district binds federal prosecutors in other districts.
As a general matter, one of the reasons the justices will take an appeal is when there’s a so-called circuit split to resolve, which is why Maxwell’s lawyers have presented her appeal in this way.

I try not to bother with obviously pirated channels because they usually go down pretty quick. I'm much more interested in legit channels that will stay up.
Lastly I also have all the Pluto channels with EPG. I used this app for the channels and EPG.
I also wrote some scripts to download/merge channels and EPGs. TBH it's kind of a PITA but it's like a hobby.

[strong]La Moda come Rivoluzione: “Fashion Outsider”[/strong]
“Fashion Outsider” non è un semplice libro, ma un viaggio affascinante nelle vite di chi ha fatto della moda una vera e propria rivoluzione. Il volume esplora come icone culturali del calibro di Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalì, Coco Chanel e Madonna abbiano trasformato il loro stile personale in una dichiarazione di intenti, riscrivendo le regole del fashion system e lasciando un segno indelebile.
L’autrice, forte della sua esperienza nel mondo del branding e delle tendenze, ci guida attraverso storie di ribellione, innovazione e audacia estetica. Scopriamo come queste figure, con i loro abiti, accessori e persino il loro portamento, abbiano sfidato le convenzioni sociali e artistiche, diventando fonte di ispirazione globale. La moda non è più vista come una semplice scelta di stile, ma come un potente strumento di emancipazione personale e culturale.
Hai detto profumo? Come lo vuoi? Molecolare, senza alcool, con olii naturali e ciliegie ghiacciate dell ’Himalaya… dove si trovano queste ciliegie poi? Profumi di nicchia, commerciali, con mille materie prime. Ma un profumo non è solo ciò che percepiamo con l ’olfatto. A volte è ciò che si sente nel cuore, che ci racconta storie, ci evoca epoche, amicizie, luoghi lontani. Ad esempio, un profumo può raccontarci una delle storie più affascinanti del XX secolo: l’amicizia tra Misia Sert e Coco Chanel. Due donne di mondi diversi, unite nella Parigi dorata dell’inizio del secolo, dove arte emoda intrecciavano le vite di personaggi straordinari. La loro amicizia divenne il fondamento di un’intesa unica, e di un supporto reciproco forse raro, ma prezioso.
Elisa Rovesta è esperta di mode e costumi della società.

in reply to Peter Link • • •I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Back up a bit. Is this "peace" "plan" literally making President Trump the unelected ruler of the Gaza Strip? Not in his role as President of the United States, even, which would be bad enough, but making Trump, personally, the highest authority in Gaza, until he decides Gaza is "reformed" enough for him to surrender power?
Am I reading this right?
Are we going all the way back to the time of Julius Caesar where the leader of Rome could just give himself a province to rule personally?
My what the fuckometer has been consistently overloaded since January 20th, but, really, what the actual fuck?

in reply to Peter Link • • •Hamas probably won't go for this as it still requires them to demilitarize and they, along with a lot of Palestinians in gaza, view that as a path to slow ethnic cleansing like what's happening in the west bank.
You'd think the "Hillary's gonna take our guns" Republicans would understand not wanting to surrender your guns and security to a government in general, much less one that's been trying to genocide you for decades.

in reply to Not_mikey • • •I think there's a reason they might actually go for it.
If you give Gaza to Trump, Trump may feel the need to "stick up for it". I don't know how likely that is, but clearly Palestine has exhausted all other options.

in reply to Tenderizer78 • • •Given that Trump has publicly supported leveling Gaza and turning it into a luxury resort, I think it's very questionable what he would be sticking up "for"
The war isn't over and if anything this is just laying the groundwork to expand it

in reply to Peter Link • • •Non starter, never give-up arms. It just gives the oppressor complete control and will only mean that Israel will fully take all the land and murder the people much much easier. Settlers will be able to swarm in and murder even more Palestinians. If your murder is going to happen anyway, then take as many of them as you possibly can.
