Just get into a decent general tracker and you'll literally never have this issue again (along with getting torrents with more seeders and better tagged content so your "4k" download will never be 480p again)

Italy doesn't have crypto keys (as the average person would just lose/leak them) but they offer SSO login with the ID card. Basically whenever you need to verify your identity you pick "sign in with CIEid", you get redirected to a goverment website where you can authenticate (typically by scanning a qr code + scanning your physical id card on your phone) and then you approve/deny the authentication request (you can also clearly see which data is shared (name, last name, dob, etc)).

it's stupid easy to setup, the app is not overly bloated and it has different options to authenticate.

>I, for one, like streaming apps enough that I don't want to go back to locked-down, expensive DVD players. The alternative to DRM isn't "no DRM", it's "no content".

that's a false dichotomy since piracy exists. Stop giving them money until their behavior changes. If it doesn't... oh well, you still get a better service.

I may be silly but why would you ever want to validate the structure of an opaque authentication key? Couldn't you just hit an harmless endpoint (e.g. /rate_limit) to see if it returns 401 or not?

Fascinating perspective.

In today’s fast-paced scientific landscape, it’s crucial to recognize that innovation is not just about ideas — it’s about access, infrastructure, and thought leadership.

Einstein disrupted the status quo, but today’s emerging researchers must first navigate a robust ecosystem of grants, incentives, and legacy stakeholders before they can move the needle.

Food for thought.

because unless they are remarkably stupid they didn't pay with their own credit card. That doesn't mean that the information is necessarily useless but I'd not expect them to kick a door down any time soon.

(Moreover since cloudflare has a free tier you could use their service while handing over only a single email)

you can already gather the same information by searching online.

Do you want to know how to kill yourself? forums are for nerds. Here is wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_methods#List

Do you want to make a bomb? the first thing that came to my mind is a pressure cooker (due to news coverage). Searching "bomb with pressure cooker" yields a wikipedia article, skimming it randomly my eyes read "Step-by-step instructions for making pressure cooker bombs were published in an article titled "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom" in the Al-Qaeda-linked Inspire magazine in the summer of 2010, by "The AQ chef"." Searching for a mirror of the magazine we can find https://imgur.com/a/excerpts-from-inspire-magazine-issue-1-3... which has a screenshot of the instruction page. Now we can use the words in those screenshots to search for a complete issue. Here are a couple of interesting PDFs: - https://archive.org/details/Fabrica.2013/Fabrica_arabe/page/... - https://www.aclu.org/wp-content/uploads/legal-documents/25._...

the second one is quite interesting, it's some sort of legal document for nerds but from page 26 on it has what appears to be a full copy of the jihadist magazine. Remarkable exhibit.

What else do you want to know? How to make drugs? you need a watering can and a pot if you want to grow weed. want the more exotic stuff? You can find guides on reddit.

Do you also want to know how to be racist? Here are some slurs, indexed by target audience, ready for use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs
