Valve had a big piracy problem in russia and it was ofc because of service issues. While I obviously don't agree with this censorship and would prefer valve to entirely pull out of russia, I can see why they are absolutely not doing that. They want to provide the best PC gaming store service across the world, and they don't want competitors or piracy to eat into their sales
Ive been using it for a while now and yes its much better. Its more modern and more stable and expandable. Theres no quirks to work around you just configure it straightforwardly and the default settings just work. Its great.
Also it lets you export as HDHR as well not just M3U.
Its not explicitly ego like the other commenter said, but also facsist need to be constantly under attack, whether by immigrants or most likely now shifting to "anti American protestors" or whatever rhetoric they find effective to get their reactionary audience scared. They'll trust their supreme leader will protect them from whatever the enemy of the day is. By campaigning he can do what he did to win the election, lie so much that the main narrative parroted across the consolidated media environment will be his fearmongering. Same strategy, differnet time. I'm certain the attacks will be directed to US Citizens now, political enemies, specifically.
The site has Default WideVine DRM protection. You can use a browser extension to dump the decryption keys and use N_m3u8DL-RE to download and then decrypt the videos. The only downside is you need to dump and download each video individually; so what I did was make a script that inputs a text file of all the keys and then downloads each video in that file, if you know a scripting language you can make something similar.
Perhaps not the best wording. I did not mean to imply that they are undeserving, the resource they maintain is top-notch. Simply that there are other projects that desperately need funding to continue that would benefit greatly from financial support.
The solution to this is to self-host your own DNS server. This will also let you block ads network wide if you throw something like pihole in front of your DNS.
I second 1DM+. For some reason it's the most cracked download manager I've ever used even compared to jdownloader2. No clue how or why it's so good, but I also wish I could get it to run on my Linux machine.
Just gonna drop this link here for anyone who's interested in a 3rd party Jellyfin user management application. This fixes the issues related to inviting users and allowing them to reset their own passwords. Would obviously prefer all of this built into jellyfin, but solutions do exist for those determined enough.
This is the answer. Not sure why everyone in the comments is discussing disassembly when turning the platters to dust in a couple hard smacks is fast and effective.
Running it offline does avoid some of the censorship, but not all. Let me explain: Failsafes are implimented to check what topics are being talked about (like tieneman square). These are not included inside the model itself (though it does have a type of post-training, reinforcement-based censorship applied to the finished model). This second type of censorship (the kind actually included in the model weights) can actually be removed by retraining using similar reinforcement techniques. This means that the
Tldr is:
There is censorship baked into the model but because the weights are public, it can be removed /bypassed. In contrast the deepseek web app includes both kinds of censorship (and also definitely steals your data). The local model obviously does not.
What's this actually mean? It's not like they didn't just switch domains and remain online? Article doesn't mention any arrests so seems like they can just sidestep the domain seizure. Or am I wrong and there will be more action?
