  • That’s not what the poster is talking about. Whether the piracy subreddit or the lemmy community, there are strict rules about sharing copyrighted content, asking for it or posting links to it. These communities are about discussing different technologies around BitTorrent, usenet or debrid and how to leverage them to share content.

    All of the above can be used for perfectly legal reasons such as sharing Linux ISOs or public domain media.

    If you use those to pirate copyrighted content that’s your decision.

    Calling these communities illegal and blocking them is akin to schools not permitting students to use backpacks or lockers because they could be used to hide guns.







  • I understand this part :) I use a fairly complex firewall at work though I only know bits and pieces from reading different manuals. I think the part I didn’t understand was how exactly the routing worked differently in IPv4 vs v6. I get that because NAT happens in IPv4, packets can’t be routed at all without the firewall/router but I wasn’t sure what was the mechanism by which v6 made sure that packets went through the router, especially when you have stuff like v6 DHCP relays.
