Some exciting #stigmerge updates to share!

All stigmerge peers are now seeders -- there are no #leechers in official stigmerge releases. Sharing is caring! #veilid private routing mitigates the privacy hazards normally associated with sharing content over public networks directly.

Peers gossip with each other _constantly_, advertising themselves and discovering new neighbors -- and they store these contact lists in the #veilid DHT like a pheromone trail. So even when an original seeder is long gone and goes offline -- if just one of its last-known neighbors is online, future travelers still have a chance to join a live swarm of active peers.

Fetchers can balance downloads among multiple peers, gravitating towards the most productive ones.

It's also super-easy to run stigmerge from an OCI container now (#Docker or #Podman as you like).

Check out the updated README for more details -- and the 0.5.6 release to try these new superpowers out for yourself!

16. Da es jetzt 27 verschiedene Streaminganbieter gibt, und das alles keiner bezahlen kann, erlebt #Filesharing gerade eine Renaissance, wenn man nicht auf seine Lieblingsserie lange warten will.

Ich kann nur sagen, lasst es - die #Abmahnkanzleien (wenn auch weniger, zumindest noch) gibt es immer noch, und sie warten nur auf Euch. Ein mitunter teurer Spaß, und zB #Frommer Legal, ehemals Waldorf Frommer, klagt die Sachen auch immer häufiger ein, im Gegensatz zu früher.

"The anti-piracy campaign was … not exactly subtle. Its spots ran before movies in theaters and on home media from 2004–2008. One shows a teen girl clicking a big green "Download" button on a website promising "Feature Films"—but when she does so, large white text jumps onto a black backdrop: "You wouldn't steal a car." The text looks like it was applied with spray paint and a stencil.

What font is this? The site Fonts in Use suggests it was FF Confidential, designed by Just van Rossum in 1992.

Melissa Lewis, a reporter at the Center for Investigative Reporting, noticed Fonts in Use's identification, and she remembered that noted "computer person" Parker Higgins had been digging into the "very similar (font) Xband Rough." Lewis contacted van Rossum, who confirmed that Xband Rough was a clone of FF Confidential. "It's just been around forever and is ubiquitous," Lewis writes.

Picking up on these inquiries, a tinkerer going by the handle "Rib" then dug into a PDF from the anti-piracy campaign's archived website. A tool called FontForge indicated that the notable "spray-painted" font used in the PDF was, in fact, XBand Rough.

Van Rossum—who is the brother of Guido van Rossum, creator of the Python programming language—told TorrentFreak that he knew the anti-piracy campaign had used his font, and he knew that the Xband Rough clone existed. He did not know that the industry group had used the knock-off version in its campaign, but he found it "hilarious." Van Rossum, reached for comment by Ars, declined to comment."
