Does anyone know anything about Comcast's repeat infringer policy specifically? I've gotten some DMCA notices lately and can't be fucked to get a seedbox/VPN until I have no other choice.As far as I can tell, the following are true:>Although nor foolproof, you're significantly, significantly less likely to get a notice if you stop seeding immediately after the download>I've only gotten notices from Paramount, other companies either don't send them or don't do so very quickly>Comcast has a nine-tier system, and you only trigger a new tier after getting multiple DMCA notices in a calendar month>Tiers 1 to 3 or 4 are just emails>After that, you start getting popups and might have to call Comcast to get them to go away>Tiers 7-8 shut your internet off for 8-24 hours or until you call them and promise to stop>Tier 9 gets you a 180-day ban from Xfinity servicesI have these questions1. Can the tier system activate only once a month at the end of the month (the only time I got a tier upgrade/warning email was one time at 10 AM near the end of the month), or can it go up multiple tiers in a single month if you keep racking them up?2. Do tiers go down if you've stopped torrenting or haven't gotten caught for a few months to a year, or will you go to tier four if you were at tier three and download two torrents four years later?Comment too long.

>>107716758>>107716809They'll cut your internet off if you "just tell them to fuck off" or "just ignore it". They're not going to care. They have a policy, and they'll enforce it; the key is just to work around it.And it's pretty lax compared to most of the other major providers. You get one freebie a month, you get a bunch of warnings before they do anything, and the vast, vast majority of stuff you download isn't counted.>>107718868I like their speeds, though. I'm going to keep doing it this way until I absolutely have to pony up for a VPN or IPT account, but I'll do those things before I switch.

>>107716918>>107717124For me its>Back in da 90's where internet was le wild westGrind my gears every single time
>>107720306I'm of the opinion that everyone born after me (1990 and beyond) is wrong and bad. Now, that's just fact —which is a little confusing because it's also mirrors my opinion— but I don't make the rules. Every single soul born after me is wrong and does things the wrong way, they have trouble reading clocks or they didn't pirate via newsgroups so they don't have souls.Likewise I understand that to people born in 1988 that I am the cancer and I don't disagree, that's the way of the world they grew up in different times.What we can both agree on (I hope) is that regardless of 1988 or 1989 the problem is in the 1987'ers who got on the tech train too late in 2003 or who got online after dialup. So in that respect while someone who is born in 1990 is wrong on an ontological level, they can be okay if they went hard enough and picked up the computer at relatively the same time as myself and were interested in the same fields.None of us are really going to get on board with youthful social media influencers who grew up with the internet after WoW catalysm or XI post WotG. And being older doesn't make one superior, you can revoke your right to being accepted in society by doing stuff like starting a youtube channel or installing discord unironically.Generation is a state of flux but there's one constant: Most of the people born after 1990 are faggots and everyone born post 9-11 has no soul.

I use QubesOS with detached boot partition on 2 duplicated USB drives with any data that rests on the SSD/HDDs being encrypted with LUKS2. Whonix gateway is proxied through a VPN qube to hide Tor IPs (can't hide communication patterns) without bridges since bridge IPs can be farmed. Sometimes Tor through I2P outproxy or vice-versa or with different anonymizing network overlays. Clients used for browsing are only opened in on-RAM ephemeral qubes with no access to permanent storage. Attack surface is quite minimum since no extra things added like USB mouse and no PV qubes (aside from sys-usb and sys-net) are used for launching HVM qubes with qemu stub domains unless very necessary and every other qube on the system gets shut down first to keep information leakage minimum. A veracrypt volume with hidden storage on a permanent qube for data storage and plausible deniability.what's your setup like?

>>107719962why can't any of these retards document their shit properly? the workflow he provides requires patreon models and the info on the left side fails to answer the question on how to use this thing. and it's a gguf which is like a different breed of species. the link sends you to a high version but apparently you need a low too? pure retardation. my normal wan 2.2 i2v just works.
>>107718348>Wan 2.2 SVIit like base wan does not do scene cuts very well, it will change characters appearance too much imo. It handles moments when their face is hidden between clips but an actual | cut to still changes the person's face some what, probably something to do with wan it self, i suspect wan goes into T2V mode when doing a cut scene, oh well its just best to avoid them. all actions should be performed one at a time and use simple prompts but you probably already know that. At least that is the case for I2V. I don't know the right combo of light lora's but lets just say i went back to using base wan and light lora's to see if they would be any better and it completely fucking mangles shit, so i don't know how or what this guy did.https://civitai.com/models/2190659/dasiwa-wan-22-i2v-14b-tastysin-v8-or-lightspeed-or-gguf?modelVersionId=2466604so that is why i recommend it because it just works so well.
>>107720379hey, i'll help you out later in the day, i'm working on an also perfect looping workflow for SVI as in no long chaining of prompts and samplers. I'm not getting quality loss despite using the same seed between clips that others are reporting so i'm on to something good here. The only issue I'm getting is micro jumps between clips when i merge them using an external ffmpeg script because that is faster... But I see in the SVI workflow provided here https://www.reddit.com/r/NeuralCinema/comments/1pyeoci/svi_20_pro_wan_22_84step_infinite_video_workflow/its using some kj node to combine clips with some kind of 5 frame over lap that i don't understand what its doing, so maybe its interpolation of sorts i need to figure out. the jumps are very subtle but still noticeable like jump edits people do on youtube videos.

You don't still use F-Droid, do you?
F-Droid is objectively more secure than the Google PlayStore and more secure than GrapheneOS itself.GrapheneOS depends on the single key of a Google-worshipping idiot living in Toronto, Canada who is doxxed.I could drive to his house, break in, beat him bloody, take his key and ship a malware update and there is no way for anyone to notice.

>>107720136Did you set legacy applications to scale themselves? The scaling where the server does it itself can be blurry because of the way it does the scaling. It's better for the toolkit to do it.
>>107720136I had a strange issue with my mouse when I used Xfce4, everything else was fine except windows were somewhat laggy and mouse back button would double click.After switching to a plain window manager that issue went away. Libinput settings are the same of course.Even firefox/librewolf feels faster somehow.
>>107720234Double clicking was occasional but frequent enough to be annoying.
>>107714837Why don't people make a backup before doing things like this?
>>107720155My issue didn't have anything to do with legacy apps, I use a 1440p ultrawide at 125% and on Wayland everything looked oversized, too big, the Plasma interface looked oversized, chromium looked oversized, then if I set the scaling back to 100% everthing looked smaller than on X11 at 125%.

=== /sec/ News:>Cybersecurity Employees Plead Guilty To Ransomware Attackshttps://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/12/30/1911201/cybersecurity-employees-plead-guilty-to-ransomware-attacks>Ryan Goldberg, a 40-year-old incident response manager from Georgia, and Kevin Martin, a 36-year-old ransomware negotiator from Texas, admitted to conspiring to obstruct commerce through extortion. Between April and December 2023, Goldberg, Martin, and a third unnamed co-conspirator deployed the ransomware against multiple U.S. victims and agreed to pay ALPHV BlackCat's operators a 20% cut of any ransoms received. They successfully extracted approximately $1.2 million in Bitcoin from one victim, splitting their 80% share three ways before laundering the proceeds. Both men face up to 20 years in prison and are scheduled for sentencing on March 12, 2026.
