That’s the standard, yes. And the solution is to pirate their music instead? But seriously, why do they even bother with labels then? Don’t get me wrong, I’d like for them to be better paid and for streaming services to allocate bigger cut to them, however, piracy doesn’t help with this at all. Usually it’s just an average Joe excuse to not pay anything at all.

I assume that depends on the contract they have with their label, but usually it’s a way for them to earn more.

It’s not theft obviously, information can be duplicated infinitely at no cost.

Yes it is cheaply duplicated, but you have no rights to duplicate it when this is not allowed. Do you think artists are not entitled to a wage though? Should the live by the mercy of fans?

Call it whatever you want, you don’t have rights to get it unless its through a legal way.

“I think that something has to be cheaper or have a different business model” doesn’t give me rights to steal it.

Sure, but that doesn’t give you rights to pirate their music, does it? There is also the problem who gets paid what when you buy their merch.

You realize that bands have by their choice a contract with a label which in turn provides services to them (bands without a label don’t count since they would sell their music themselves)? If the band sells their music directly is one thing, but what you’re suggesting is simply wrong. Also donations are not meant as a mean of purchasing stuff. 🤷‍♂️

Pirate and pay creators directly.

How does that even work?

My bad, used the wrong word there. I meant that Windows is very compatible with older versions and different flavors.

I think I’m cautious enough to not have the experience, luckily. But why does that matter? I’m still waiting from you for rationale why is Linux experiencing less infections. And you keep asking unimportant questions…

Servers are a different story. I’m both Windows and Linux user, meaning more towards the later recently. I’m still wondering why do you think Linux is more resistant to malware - besides the incompatibility (mentioned in other reply here). Your experience doesn’t tell much about why and I wrote my theory.

Ha, yes, incompatibility is the secret defense of linux 🫣. But even without root access, malware can create a lot of damage.

You sure though? Windows has more viruses because it’s more popular (desktop) and monolithic, not because Linux is much better in that regard. IOW Linux is not magically virus resistant. If you run an infected file, it will infect both without much trouble. Also removing infection would be similar. At least that’s my understanding.

NFS lacks security unless it’s NFSv4 paired with Kerberos AFAIK.

Let’s invade Afghanistan once more!

Yeah, that won’t but you could still try, just in case. Other than that, are both client and server on same IP segment? About router - I’d really suggest using your own router (also firewall) behind the provided one. Otherwise you are exposing your internal network to network provider which you might not want to do and at the same time you don’t have a control over the core device in your network.

It might work better if computer sleeps. Try that first. If that works, then it probably means you have to setup bios properly if that’s even configurable with your hardware. Or you can just go with sleep instead of power down.

I’d be perfectly fine with some sort of subscription. That gets distributed to authors I watch. But I can see technical challenges to it.

A big problem with peertube is monetization. There should be some sort of mechanism that’d do that automatically. Otherwise there won’t be much content ever. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really happy that it exists but just don’t see it replacing even few % of YouTube as it is.

This article is contradicting it, it seems 🤷‍♂️ https://autovista24.autovistagroup.com/news/europes-best-selling-evs-in-2025-so-far/
