  • If you are receiving data from tor, then you are most likely seeing these connections. They also change over time, so tor relay nodes change and can be located anywhere.

    In addition, in the example you have port 9001, which means that relaying is most likely enabled in your client and you are a relay for other participants. Check the settings of the tor.








  • Do you really want to recommend btrfs to beginners? The FS for which the usage scheme needs to be checked on the site.

    As for me, I messed up my home directory 4 years ago and since then I haven’t touched this fs and I don’t advise anyone. I need my Linux work machine not for experimentation and recovery from backups. It’s much easier to store the free 20 gigs on a disk.


  • If you newbie linux user I really recommended create partition for /home and use LVM. That not so easy, but if you understand LVM Snapshots and partitioning that saved many hours for you. You can use partition manager for make /home snapshots and all system snapshots too if you have enough free space in LVM group. The downside of this feature is that you can’t take up the entire disk with partitions, otherwise there will be nowhere to take snapshots.

    If you want change distro for example:

    1. create /home snapshot
    2. remove all ~/.* directories
    3. Start from iso and format only root partition for new system.

    If you want do momething risky:

    1. Create / and /home shapshot.
    2. Try that.
    3. If all ok merge snapshots, If all go bad rollback to previous state.


  • I just went to libraries and asked my friends for information.

    By the way, the internet didn’t suddenly become filled with all the knowledge in the world. The first internet pages were like personal blogs filled with not-so-useful information. In those days, the internet was similar to today’s darknet. Google was just starting out, and there was no search engine as such. As a result, people just shared websites with each other. The current internet is the result of millions of people’s efforts to fill it with information. So, having access to the internet didn’t change my life overnight.

    But we used to buy collections of websites and data on CDs when CD-ROMs first became available, and that was pretty fun.

    UPD: and at some point, people started exchanging data through modem calls, and that’s how fidonet was born. It was a whole cultural layer where you could get an address and slowly receive newsletters and exchange data through late-night calls to sisops. It was like a prehistoric torrent, but instead of pirating, you were exchanging data.





  • Well, I’ve lived half my life without the Internet, because it wasn’t invented yet, and if things really go this way, I’ll live the rest of my life without the Internet. No digital sharing, no digital spying. And I recommend that you disconnect from the network for a couple of months and touch the grass too.


  • After all, if people are willing to read what they’re given, why not? If they like to read books with the quality of neural networks, then there’s nothing you can do about it. All that remains is to be better than the neural network. In any aspect. And you will find your reader.

    But yes, the human creativity of widespread consumption is slowly dying.
