That means only “authorized” clients equipped with “correct” DRM module can ever plays those video. If I have to guess, it would be Widevine L3 for browsers.

I used to use dedicated server from OneProvider in Paris.

Say I lived there. BBC needs fundings I get it, but what the BBC contributes to when I watch VoD? Not even watching live programmes as zero of the content have BBC ever contributed. When the content is licensed via BBC, I already paid part with my subscription. Thst’s a disgusting double dipping. If no one watches your programmes that’s your problem, and citizens have no responsibility to keep a corporate from collapsing. This shit reminds me of how NHK works in Japan.

While I’m using Proton rn, I’m planning to migrate to Posteo with Addy.io for aliases. However they all cost money. If you mean free email that’s not tie to a billionaire, I can’t think one off my head. You can achieve “free” by hosting your own email server as it sounds you’re intended for receiving only, but the electricity still cost some, plus you are doning free labor to make sure it is happy.

Wouldn’t DNSSEC makes the whole poisoning moot?

I don’t a single guide for you but I can layout a road map.

1. A programming language. I prefer Python.
2. Basic HTML syntax and CSS selectors
3. HTTP, specifically methods, status code (no need to memorize all cuz you can go look it up), and cookies

After you got those foundation ready, you can go on and try to build a webscraper. I advice aginst using Scrapy. Not because it is bad but too overwhelming and abstracted for any beginner. I will instead advice you use requests for HTTP, and BeautifulSoup4 for HTML parsing. You will build a more solid foundation and transition to scrapy later when you need those advanced function.

When you get stuck, don’t afraid to pause on your attempt and read tutorials again. Head to the Python Community on Discord to get interactive help. We welcome noobs as we once were noobs too. Just don’t ever mention scraping there as they can’t help if they suspect you’re trying to do something inappropriate, malicious, or illegal. They are notoriously aginst yt-dlp which frustrates me a bit. Phrase it nicely and in an generic way. I will be there occasionally offering help.

There is no simplification that you’re looking for. It seems you don’t have a programing background. If you really need to scrape something, you need to learn a programing language, HTTP, HTML, and maybe javascript. AFAIK, there is no easy way or point and click scrapper building tool. You will need to invest time and learn. Don’t worry, you should be able to get it done in 2-3 months if you do invest your time in.

Maybe. I’m not in the loop but I believe you would need to gain some solid trust from the core team to get that access. It won’t be a knowledge just flows in the scene up for any newly join members to grab.

AFAIK, L1 are hardware backed using Trusted Execution Environment like ARM TrustZone. Unless you can find an exploit to exfil the key from the chip, you have no luck. It was done before and published, but I believe it is patched already. Anyone holding such exploit would keep close to their chest to avoid it beimg patched.

Last time I heard, no. They are burning money to train new models.

Is OpenAI profitable now?

If you don’t put trust on someone something, you left yourself to trust and do all the works. However, you don’t trust yourself either, sadly I can’t offer any solutions.

Actually, this and the Signal group have zero privacy. They are all open, free-to-join groups. The encryption doesn’t matter. All it need is anonymity, which I think SimpleX > Matrix > Signal.

You are welcome to audit the source code and host the backend yourself.

Will a simplex group better? Nothing identifiable.

I guess he is referring to VK, but I heard he was foced to get out.

Sorry mate and all waiting for a show and some solid proofs. That happened in the second half of 2010s, and I do mailbox cleanup every year. I tried dig through what left but I think that violation notice is gone forever. Back then I was just a noob and though that’s normal for such big name provider, so I consider bad luck, and switch.

Not rapidseedbox. I used them before and one time it removed my download saying DMCA violation. I unsub and change to fully self host my own seedbox on a dedicated machine with one provider.

I usually take BDRAW, transcode by myself. Or the best quality I can find. Does it look better? Not really. Just the data hoarder inside kicked in. 720p is totally fine.

And I forgot: keep you being DMCA’d by your ISP because your VPN drops momentarily.
