  • Why English language is sometimes "lazy", sometimes not

    Jump

  • I think what you mean is compound words vs other words?

    Wikipedia says there are lots of compound words in English.

    Plaintiff is borrowed from Old French. Litigation from Latin...

    I suppose it boils down to when and under what circumstances a term was needed to describe something. Sometimes there was a word from another language available. Or the whole subject came from a different culture. And sometimes they just described it with a compound of what it resembles. And how to make up terms probably also depends on what is en vogue at the time.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

    Jump

  • My summary is oversimplified. I still think it's the correct answer to OP's question: is there physical evidence. Because there isn't anything physical. But there are written records from a bit later, suggesting that somebody with that name must have existed. Glad someone else thinks I picked the correct article. Seems it's not that easy to find good information. The English speaking internet is filled with low quality efforts to portray the facts in a way they'd like to have them.

    I have a few good books though. Back when I was young (and became an atheist,) I used to read a lot about philosophy, the political message of the New Testament. And what life was like in that time.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

    Jump

  • Agree. But that specific article seems pretty alright. Also talks about the relics and history records for example by Tacitus.

    There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.

    (And the German Wikipedia article about sources for the historicity of Jesus seems very good. But it's not exactly OP's question and I don't know if it helps: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au%C3%9Ferchristliche_antike_Quellen_zu_Jesus_von_Nazaret )

    Tl;dr: No.

    My opinion: It's a nice story. And with stories the most important thing is what it teaches us or makes us feel. Not that it's true. Maybe they took inspiration from several preaching hippies who lived back then and made one story out of that. Exaggerated everything and made stuff up. Probably all of it because the bible was't even written close to his supposed lifetime. It'd be like you now writing a story about a dude who died in 1870. Without any previous records to get information from. [Edit: The first things have probably been written down like 40-50 years after his death.]

    And I mean if Jesus existed, he would certainly disapprove of what people do (and did) in his name.

  • Why are Republicans/Conservatives embracing fanaticalism these days?

    Jump

  • American values aren't important to them. They want different things. A strong leader, be heard, simple truths and/or some people below them to hate and pick on.

  • Ah. maybe hand it over to the next person? I suppose people still need to switch painlessly? But I get it. We used to host lots of stuff in my university years. A forum, chat, classifieds, filesharing... A big photo album for all our pictures and events... As far as I know all of that has gone. Either due to lack of interest or nobody was able and willing to pick it up.

  • Anybody know why Anna's Archive is torrents only and not IPFS?

  • There are some blog posts on annas-blog.org from 2022, talking about IPFS.

  • Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined

    Jump

  • The article doesn't talk much at all about all the interesting technical details.

    The press release talks about trouble with payment providers... So I suppose they accepted credit card payment.

    Maybe the court documents are publicly available if anyone is willing to dig them up in order to find out... I don't think I'm that interested. If it's a good story, maybe someone will do a documentery or podcast episode at some point. Would probably do for a "true crime" show.

  • Name a legendary musical hit in your country. Rule: must be over 30 years old

  • Didn't Finland have an entire culture of doing spoofs on old German shit, like TV series? I've seen Die Kühe and I think it's absolutely awesome. (The Dutch also did a good impression in Jiskefet.)

    And I remember watching / listening to lots of M. A. Numminen. Not sure if that's just the stuff that found its way back to Germany and me... But nonetheless...

    The thing with the tv series might be a thing of the past, though. I'm not sure if anyone still remembers "Der Alte" or "Derrick". It's probably not that funny without the context. And how we watch TV has certainly changed during the last decades.

  • Give me like $7,500 and I provide enough harddisks for 183,200 episodes. I'm not sure what to calculate for traffic, though.

    And I mean it's a bit unfortunate that you have to commit money laundering and/or tax fraud alongside this "business model". It's just not that easy to say: Hey, I would like to pay taxes on this pile of money and I don't want to say where I got it from, it's definitely mine, though.

  • Anyone tried a Matrix <-> Discord bridge?

  • Alright. I think I'm fine with that. I'll read the documentation and see if I can find some time over the weekend to set it up. I'll report my success in case I remember. It's going to take me some time to notice missing information, though. And I'm not sure how caching of images works. We'll see. I hope I don't get banned, but I don't really care that much. Thanks for the insights.

  • Anyone tried a Matrix <-> Discord bridge?

    Jump

  • Thanks. Why do you say appservice is old? Because of the used technology? Or because their last commit is from 9 months ago?

    I don't really need double puppeting. I'm just interested in funnelling out data from discord and it's just me and my account. I should clarify that in my post...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna take a closer look at the features of both and probably choose mautrix, since I already run their WhatsApp bridge. Maybe someone else chimes in and can contribute their experience with the out-of-your-element bridge.

  • Plug it into a computer and see what the computer says.

    I usually use Linux for that because it offers good error messages and I know the tools. But other operating systems might help, too.

    And if you start writing to the card or executing recovery tools, make a backup / image first.

    If the files are very important, maybe don't tamper with it and ask for help. Like a repair shop, your local Linux community or any trustworthy computer expert friend.

    The biggest enemy is probably encryption, if it's encrypted. The files are definitely still there if you just ripped it out. In the old days you could just run a recovery program and get everything back.

  • Correct answer. And this is going to help way more than adding a few trackers. Also consider doing the port-forward in your router, if you're behind a NAT and it doesn't do it automatically. That makes even more peers available.
