You're second point is a good one, but you absolutely can log the IP which requested robots.txt. That's just a standard part of any http server ever, no JavaScript needed.
Be sure not to create an open resolver, something commonly used in DDoS attacks. https://serverfault.com/questions/573465/what-is-an-open-dns-resolver-and-how-can-i-protect-my-server-from-being-misused#573471
This makes perfect sense. Thank you!
That makes some amount of sense. I'm not sure exactly how each article is stitched together to create the full file. Do you happen to know if it's just put together sequentially or if there's XORing or more complex algorithm going on there? If it's only the former, they would still be hosting copyrighted content, just a bit less of it.

This implies that they are just individually decoded and stitched together.
Because family or friends are always going to have them and share with you. In terms of effort, it's still a lot easier to use free-to-you streaming services (even with ads) than set up your own Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, and Jellyseerr stack. I can definitely see the appeal of a streaming stick that let's you do that, is fast, and isn't riddled with ads on the home screen. Hell, I might've paid for one if I knew it existed and had less free time.
I recently stopped using my firestick. Even though I only used it for Jellyfin, the ads on the home screen were too much for me. So I swapped it out for a Raspberry Pi with LibreElec as the OS, and there have been literally no downsides.
- Jellyfin for Kodi add-on with Embuary skin shows your entire Jellyfin library on the home screen with continue watching and next up widgets right there when you turn on the TV.
- You can set it up entirely through the GUI. Works with either keyboard and mouse or remote.
- Uses HDMI-CEC so works with my TVs original remote and even my firestick remote.
- If you want to use an app remote, Kore is officially supported and has no ads.
- Invidious add-on with the Send to Kodi and libredirect Firefox extensions means I can cast YouTube videos to my TV with no ads.
- You can even run an Ethernet cable from your router/Jellyfin server to the Pi. I did this and have not experienced any buffering since.
- It even passed the spouse test. My wife says she likes that it's faster and more responsive. Plus she likes the asteroids screensaver.
Pretty good tool. I took the quiz out of curiosity, and the top result was my current distro
I think the point is that now he doesn't have to take the time to go around the house prying the batteries out and replacing them every year. A small chore to be sure, but one that I'd be happy to do any with.
R.I.P.D. 2
Hear me out. I watched the first R.I.P.D. on a flight, expecting it to be enjoyably bad, but it wasn't. Instead, it was just enjoyable. The whimsical lore of combining ancient prophecy with modern people and boring bureaucracy was pretty funny. Was it an absolutely fantastic movie? No, but it was good.
The sequel, however, explored none of the above any further. Instead, it tried to replace all that with a much more dramatic tone. So when I watched this one on the flight back, it wasn't even enjoyably bad. It was just simple and dull.
A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. I liked the prequel, A Deepness in the Sky even more.
Porn, for one
Further into the article, it describes a study done on mice that implies a causal link.
