  • Baseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:

    • archiving – when you don’t have a local copy of a piece of content, it can be changed or deleted at any time;
    • ability to access stuff on a wider range of devices – I want to be able watch my favorite coomtent creator in full resolution on my phone that has only L3 and quite outdated version of widevine without installing proprietary crapp, so what;
    • bypassing bullshit restrictions – not sure if onlyfans in particular does that, but we have Netflix, for example, that would tell you to fuck off when you’re not watching from home be it VPN or an actually different location when traveling.



  • Characters from the Murderbot Dairies, mostly

    • main laptop (t480 currently) – Murderbot;
    • previous main laptop (x270) – MB20;
    • homeserver – ART;
    • a TV box running armbian – Miki;
    • t440p is currently Behemoth (from Bulgakov’s “Мастер и Маргарита”), although I’ll probably rename it to Holism;
    • x230t – Three;
    • a random thin client I occasionally use to test stuff is yogurt (from" love, death & robots"), not sure if I’ll rename them.
