One of my neighboring IPs distributes child pornography according to this site, which is just fan-fucking-tastic. Anyone know how far Comcast distributes IPs on the same subnet geographically?

I worked on a secure project a very long time ago. A very smart guy (he was working on the operating system for a military avionics computer) printed out some child porn photos on a company color printer. (This was long enough ago that good quality color printers were very expensive, not like now when you can buy a color printer for less than $100.) He got walked out. I don't know what other consequences he suffered.…

It lists a bunch of crap especially porn and Bollywood movies and some chines stuff I cant identify what it is but certainly no one in my household torrented it. Meanwhile it does not list a single distro iso that I have been seeding for months. The IP and torrent client is correct tho. Strange.
My dynamic IP can go a year w/o changing. I have to re-spoof my MAC when I want a new one.
You can turn it into a recomendation system! "People who downloaded this, also downloaded this"
They've taken down the hashes now, which means the trick doesn't work anymore. Using other people's interests as recommendations was pretty useful though!

Hey that's me :)

Not long after we started WFH I needed to share a pre-configured VM with a coworker. We tried all sorts of stuff and finally just decided to torrent it. Zipped it up tight with a password and private torrented it overnight. Next morning we were up and running.
How do you do that?

When I read stories like this I always wonder if they are setups. Like, it feels too stupid.
I knew him well and he was well-liked and professionally well-regarded throughout at least my division of the company. He was a high-energy, tireless guy with great ideas and worked nearly daily with senior-level management, often traveling with them all over the world. I, along with a whole lot of others, were absolutely dumbstruck by his profound fall from grace.
An intern once thought it was a good idea to torrent a couple of Game of Thrones episodes using my startup's Digital Ocean box. We found out after Digital Ocean forwarded us an email from HBO (who presumably tracked Digital Ocean down via the IP) that we were engaging in piracy. We sent an email to everyone with access, saying whoever was doing it to stop. Then we got a second email (a final warning). Everyone denied…
Couldn't the intern have paid for his own bare bones VPS and done it from there? Or used a different paid VPN service, which cost roughly the same ~$5? Seems like the cost of a VPN compared to the value of his internship wouldn't even compare. All for some campus clout.
Laughs in Usenet. The proliferation of streaming services and restricted content has me investing in alternative options more these days. It's not about paying for content, it's about content becoming less accessible again.
How can you tell if someone uses on usenet? Ask them what a par files are.
