  • NTFS was designed back in the mid 90s, when the plan was to have the single NT kernel with different subsystems on top of it, some of those layers (i.e. POSIX) needed case sensitivity while others (Win32 and OS/2) didn’t.

    It only looks odd because the sole remaining subsystem in use (Win32) barely makes use of any of the kernel features, like they’re only just now enabling long file paths.








  • Better, kid friendly urban infrastructure like dedicated bike paths protected from car traffic, better pedestrian areas, parks and so on. Kids will get outside their house if there is a kid friendly outside. A greener, more human friendly outside where you can socialize with other humans would always be preferred over doom scrolling online.

    Good luck with that, people and politicians love cars, parking lots and highways, and the media is demonising kids as criminals.

    You can’t do normal BitTorrent in browsers, there’s no support for plain sockets that you’d need to communicate with other peers, WebTorrent is technically a new protocol that implements the BT semantics over stuff the browsers do provide (So you can proxy between the different swarms, that’s the “hybrid” nodes in the image on the WebTorrent page)

    But it turns out it’s all a moot point, since PeerTube removed WebTorrent support anyway in favour of their own P2P system

    Edit: Ok so I misunderstood, and it seems like it’s a bit complicated. The server can (it’s disabled by default) use WebTorrent to import videos, the client still uses the WT trackers to find peers but uses a different protocol to actually share the video data.

    There’s this tool that provides the ability to automatically seed videos, but development has stalled because no up to date client will ever make use of it.

    I think the one remaining use is the “download as torrent” option, but even then that’s just using a web seed, so it’s just an alternative way to download the video.
