Pirate IPTV Operator Destroys Evidence Then Agrees to Pay Sky €580,000
A man described by Sky as a "top level" pirate has agreed to pay the broadcaster €480,000 in damages. Sky's investigation of David Dunbar reportedly began on social media last November, but soon benefited from a timely anonymous tip from another country. In May 2025, Sky obtained a court order to secure evidence from Dunbar's home, but that didn't go according to plan. After being denied access to the premises, evidence was destroyed and funds were "dissipated".

Google has sharply reduced its support for nonprofit groups devoted to DEI, in what appears to be another sign that the company is falling in line with President Trump’s anti-DEI crusade.
Google has sharply reduced its support for nonprofit groups devoted to diversity, equity, and inclusion, in what appears to be another sign the company is falling in line with President Trump’s anti-DEI crusade, the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) has found.Google publishes a list of organizations that receive the “most substantial contributions” from the company. In early 2025, Google removed more than 200 groups from the list, its biggest purge in at least five years. The largest category of removals related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), a concept that has come under sustained attack by the Trump administration. A total of 58 DEI-related groups disappeared from the list.
It is unclear if Google stopped funding these organizations or is simply seeking to hide its support for them. However, either scenario suggests Google is taking further steps to distance itself from DEI programs.
After Trump took office and began rolling back DEI efforts, Google removes references to diversity, equity, and inclusion from its annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and ended diversity-related hiring goals. Like other Big Tech companies and executives, Google donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
Google and most of the groups removed from Google's list did not respond to questions. One of the groups, the ACLU of Illinois, declined to comment and directed questions to Google.
In a statement to CNBC, which covered this report, Google said, “We contribute to hundreds of groups from across the political spectrum that advocate for pro-innovation policies, and those groups change from year to year based on where our contributions will have the most impact.”
TTP identified Google’s disappearing DEI groups while updating its Tech Funding Database. The searchable database, which is linked on TTP’s website, provides information on whether organizations have received funding from Big Tech firms, based on company disclosures. The latest update adds disclosures from 2021 to the most recent available.
Google has dropped more than 50 DEI-related organizations from one of its funding lists

Extremists use gaming platforms to recruit - study
The study shows that gaming-adjacent platforms, which allow users to chat and live stream while playing, are being used as “digital playgrounds” for extremist activity and that video game players are being deliberately “funnelled” by extremists from mainstream social media platforms to these sites, in part because of the challenges faced in moderating them.

La mia Estate.
L’estate di Snow.
L’estate, per Snow, non è mai solo una stagione. È un momento sospeso, fatto di sole che filtra dalla finestra, di voci lontane che parlano di mare e di sabbia, di un silenzio interrotto dal ronzio dei computer. Da tempo Snow vive la vita in carrozzina, dopo l’asportazione di un tumore al cervelletto. Un cambiamento radicale, di quelli che ribaltano tutto, lasciando cicatrici non solo nel corpo ma anche nei pensieri.
Muoversi, viaggiare, fare le cose “semplici” non è più come prima. Ma Snow ha trovato un modo per restare in movimento, per sentirsi vivo e utile: Linux e il Fediverso. Non sono solo passioni, sono una valvola di sfogo, un terreno dove le limitazioni fisiche non contano, dove la mente può correre veloce e le mani, anche se più lente, sanno ancora creare, curare, aggiustare.
C’è Snowfan, la sua comunità, i suoi amici digitali. Prendersene cura significa sentirsi necessario, dare qualcosa a qualcuno, costruire relazioni e offrire supporto. Perché nella vita reale, con una carrozzina che pesa e giorni in cui ogni gesto richiede fatica, sentirsi utile non è semplice. Ma dietro lo schermo, Snow non è un peso per nessuno: è un punto di riferimento.
La famiglia è la sua priorità. Snow vuole che vadano al mare, che escano, che vivano. Non vuole trattenerli, non vuole che la sua presenza diventi un freno. Vuole solo essere lì, nel modo in cui può esserlo meglio: facendo quello che sa fare, dedicandosi al Fediverso, a Linux, alle piccole e grandi cose che scorrono nei suoi server.
E così, l’estate di Snow non è mai vuota. È un’estate di bit e di connessioni, di amicizie digitali che sanno essere vere, di onde che forse non tocca con mano ma che sente comunque vicine.

South Dakota election office publishes voter list labeling thousands as public assistance applicants: Information is included in newly required free version of statewide registration spreadsheet
Thousands of South Dakotans have been publicly labeled as applicants for government assistance and thousands more have had their email address and phone number exposed, due to a new state law and the way the state’s election office is implementing it.Although the legislation creating the law received some Democratic votes, it’s a product of the Republican-dominated Legislature. Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden signed it into law and Republican Secretary of State Monae Johnson is carrying out its provisions.
Several legislators, both Democrats and Republicans, are now telling South Dakota Searchlight they did not intend for the law to expose sensitive information — especially the identity of public assistance applicants.
“This is what happens when you put the wrong people in charge,” said state House Minority Leader Erin Healy, D-Sioux Falls, who voted against the bill. “We talk a lot about freedom and privacy in this state, so it’s a shame that this legislation led to this type of breach.”

Florida prison data breach exposes visitors’ contact information to inmates: Department of Corrections has not communicated anything to those whose info was revealed to inmates.
Dozens and perhaps hundreds of individuals who applied to visit inmates at Everglades Correctional Institution (ECI) in Miami-Dade County last weekend had their personal contact information shared with every inmate at that facility, according to five different individuals who have spoken to the Phoenix over the past four days.The Florida Department of Corrections has not commented publicly about the incident since it occurred last week.
That data breach has frightened and infuriated some of the women who had their names, email addresses, and telephone numbers released to those incarcerated at the prison located near the Florida Everglades.
Inmates received that information via an email sent out by a staff member of the facility on Thursday. Florida inmates have access to emails through both interactive kiosks as well as secure tablets.
“It’s kind of disturbing when you think about it,” said Madeline Donate, who regularly visits her husband at the prison. “The privacy aspect of this is concerning. This is how other inmates get information and can sometimes extort family members and things like that. It’s concerning.”
Jan Thompson said she fears extortion.
“What if there’s some inmate that doesn’t like another inmate?” she said. “And he tells his family, ‘Okay, here’s his wife’s phone number. Call her and tell her if she doesn’t pay and put $500 on my book, I’m going to have her husband stabbed and killed.’ What’s stopping them from doing that?”
(Inmates can receive funds for deposit into their “inmate trust accounts” from individuals already identified on the inmate’s automated visiting record).
“I’m very worried. This is not okay,” added a woman who wanted to be identified only as Dakota, her middle name. “Someone needs to be held accountable for this. They need to take the necessary precautions to ensure that this does not happen. And what about this information that’s out there? There’s what, 1,600 [inmates] there? They all have information. God knows what they could do with it.”
Is making hard to get files more accessible always good practice (example in post body)?
Piracy in Germany often uses direct downloads via one click hosters(you get an url and download from there, people use services like rapidgator.net). These often get hit with copy right strikes and are slow to unusable for free users. Would downloading for example a TV show via this route and then creating a public torrent "good piracy"? (If anyone has a guide on how to create a torrent, pls share)
Reasons why I think it might be not so good:
- the groups/people need a motivation to provide the content. Distributing it without their consent might reduce their motivation. They also probably paid for some subscription to get the content
- in german context direct download links are often considered safer for people who just want to download, torrenting done wrong can get you pretty high legal fees (500+ €)
- it feels like stealing somebody elses effort
Why I think about doing it:
- this gives people another way to get the content
- torrents are free to use and way faster than those one click hosters (which often give you less than 100kB/s)
- the uploader usually profits via affiliate programs, so when someone buys a premium subscription of a one click hoster, they get a share. I think piracy shouldnt be done for profit
- people (especially outside germany) might have it easier to access torrents instead oneclick hoster solutions
- torrents have no captchas lol

Archive everything. A torrent isn’t perfect but it is far more resilient than a shitty site like rapidgator or mega. If all the seeds drop off they may hop back on someday, if the link is dmcad or otherwise deleted it’s gone forever.
Fuck their e-cred. It’s all stolen. The only time you don’t spread something around is when someone posts something special to a private community to only be shared within that community because leaking it outside of that community could cause them grief or even serious consequences (eg someone leaking content to a private tracker community that they fear could be traced back to them so they specifically ask to keep it within x community). Though tbh I’ve seen this happen at least 4-5x over the years and it always leaks out to the wider internet, people will always share (as they should)
like this
Even then. My general experience is that all of those "please don't share this outside of our private tracker" style stuff is the same crap as everywhere else: They just want to feel special or encourage people to pay for ultra premium and so forth.
As for the actual truly sensitive stuff: If you are posting that to a "community" you are already the equivalent of a War Thunder player. And, quite frankly, there is zero reason that stuff like that should only be shared with a select few randos. Either it is evil shit (at which point I hope they DO get caught) or it is something that should be given to responsible journalists to share to the world at large.

Piracy in Germany often uses direct downloads
Just in case someone doesn't know why that's the case: Torrenting is still used less then in the rest of the world, because of the unique legal situation. There are big law firms specializing in tracking IP addresses and real identities of torrent users and sending very costly cease and desist letters, even for just torrenting a single movie. I'm sure, people who know what they are doing can find ways to torrent safely. But for everyone who's just come to Germany, it's important to check their online habits and make sure you're still safe.
Concerning morality: What's the worst case? Imagine file sharing actually completely kills the movie, music, gaming and software industry (it won't). All that'd be left would be paying creators in advance to make content people actually want to see and use. As well as collaborative open source projects. All the best stuff comes from those anyway.

ipv6 adoption only matters for public reach. Right now if you want a website accessible by 75% of the world, it has to be an ipv4 endpoint. Though that is changing. Here is a blog post by someone from akamai in 2018 talking about the rapid adoption of ipv6.

Basically if you aren't deploying a service as native ipv6, you've already fucked up.

in reply to Waraugh • • •While moving away from IPv4 isn't really pressing anymore, there are still avoidable annoyances in v4 land.
Just yesterday a friend and I had a lot of fun getting our laptops to connect to a public network. Why? Because IPv4 doesn't have many private ranges and not only did the address of their captive portal conflict with the address space of a VPN we're both in, the address of their DNS server also conflicted with the default address space my friend's Docker setup operated in.
Figuring that out was a riot.

in reply to vermaterc • • •I think the fundamental problem with ipv6 is that it's a bit more complex to learn than ipv4 and not universally deployed at the remote host/server level.
New cloud companies who want to be competitive have to purchase ipv4 blocks at significant cost reducing their ability to compete with the incumbent players.
So if you go 100% ipv6 at home, some percentage of the internet will be inaccessible to you unless you employ some workarounds.
We'll drop ipv4 quite fast once everything is up on ipv6 because nearly every modern network enabled device supports it.
The only reason I think we've not gotten over the hump is because our alternatives are still easy enough to work with and nobody requires it.
