Which is still shockingly outdated compared to e.g. London, where I just use my tap to pay method of choice on entry and exit, done.

I mean it auto fills/pays from my card. It's just one extra step at setup. I agree it would be nice to just take my card at the rail, but "Shockingly outdated" seems a bit dramatic lol. It's certainly not comparable to "70s USSR" idk where that came from

Yeah I was pretty blown away when I visited San Francisco just how archaic it was. In the same place you have driverless cars you have a metro payment system from like 70s USSR or something.

How did you pay? I made a Clipper account that I fill up with my credit card and tap my phone to pay...

> Do they at least seed while watching?

Considering there is a file called "verify-no-uploads.js" ((https://github.com/hotheadhacker/seedbox-lite/blob/6a89d1974...)) in the repository, which contains "This script monitors network activity to ensure zero uploads", it seems to me like they're actively trying to just be leechers.

Using "Seedbox" in the name is very misleading then... I would have been excited to see a Stremio style alternative that actually downloads and seeds content for an extended period of time.

This is great stuff.

The only thing I'd like is some way to run it behind a cgnat. I was on starlink and I'm on an 5g device now.

If there was a way to integrate with Google drive mega Dropbox, githubs etc where I could drop a file list request document one of those services, and your server is pinging that (intermediate) storage service, detects the file listing request or file push request, or file upload request doc, and then does it.

I know each of those is an integration headache but man that would be useful.

Ok so GitHub has a built in markdown editor, so the request docs could be markdown templates. Or maybe static html/js files that generate markdown request docs, and file listing responses can be markdown or more static html docs.

Why don't you relay traffic through another node on say AWS or Hetzner using Wireguard?

Why is Ivan Illich so underrated ?

He predicted and theorized free software 10 years before it happened in Tools for Conviviality, made the most obvious and needed critic of education and hospitals alone against the Zeitgeist, studied step by step a lot of field of society to find patterns to simplify understanding.

He created simple concepts that everyone should know —- counter productivity, vernacular, iaotrogenic, radical monopoly, conviviality, poverty vs. misery etc.

He is much more pragmatic than all his leftists colleagues. He might not go very deep in economics but at least he’s not a basic marxist. He might not go as deep as Jacques Ellul in his critics of technology, but at least he is very understandable, anyone can be inspired by his books. I read most of Illich writings at 19 years old and it stayed with me for years

Just don't use it. Expecting privacy and security from a literal keylogger. Who in their right mind uses a plain-text messaging app in 2025?

No, you don't. That's why USA suffers from high obesity rates. You need to eat a small portion that is just enough. You won't starve, trust me.
