Agreed, the trackers don't have a protocol for automatically federating.

But even beyond DHT, you can upload public torrents on new (for the torrent) trackers and they automatically get added to the swarm.

The real issue with torrents is that there is no method for federating private trackers.

Public torrents are already federated, no? You can publish a torrent with a single public tracker and when you check back two years later, the torrent is indexed by ~10+ public trackers.

www.theregister.com

They cover mainstream topics, but they have a lot of in-depth enterprise tech news and they have their own voice and humour.

www.linuxgizmos.com www.cnx-software.com

Both these sites covers SBCs (not only Raspberry Pi), microcontrollers and random DIY stuff

www.osnews.com

Some mainstream coverage, but also a lot of random news about open source, niche and historical operating systems and computers

www.hackaday.com

DIY hardware news and projects

www.restofworld.org

Lots of tech news on non-western countries, mainstream topics are covered as well, but often with a different perspective.

www.semiengineering.com www.chipsandcheese.com

Very specialized sources on semiconductor developments. Very in-depth, many of the articles are difficult to understand even if you have solid (armchair) knowledge of semiconductors.

Self-promotion: I am a mod at !hardware@lemmy.world, while coverage includes a lot of mainstream tech hardware topics, there is content on more nitty gritty semiconductor topics (a lot of business type news though), battery tech and unique hardware devices (some retro coverage too). The sidebar includes more specialized tech communities on Lemmy that might be of interest to you.

I stand corrected.

I think LW agreed to remove their listing because they are already very big.

Brave is trash.

This is a purely theoretical arguement.

Ecosystem momentum makes this argument mute.

What the fuck is this shit?

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's very easy to manipulate American oligarchs. However, they are relatively provincial and lack the capabilities to deal with truly complex challenges.

They operate in an environment with no real risk. They've never dealt with any real challenges. The US judicial system is a joke (even in China, Alibaba's Jack Ma immediately regretted going on a public chimp out). US society is either openly supportive of corruption and criminality or lacks the capability (true desire and risk tolerance) to address corruption.

This is not to underestimate American oligarchs. They are extremely sophisticated and absolutely committed to their "number go up" fetish, but you also have to be real about what they are.

Let's just hope they move fast and aren't afraid to break things.

Good to hear.

No of course I am not down with tracking BS.

But I do use some smaller niche sites (for some of them I have subs or patron) and I would not want them to be hit (no clue what ad providers they use).
