And the ability to switch browser engines on the fly. That was a great feature.

What I’m thinking about is more that in Linux, it’s common to access URLs directly from the terminal for various purposes, instead of using a browser.

The p2p aspect is what interests me, though.

I thought Mojeek used its own engine, and I know Yacy does.

Dnscrypt-proxy lets you select dns servers based on whether they filter traffic, keep logs, use DNSSEC, etc. You can also block specific providers, such as Google or Cloudflare.

I felt weird about it when my dad used this 23andMe service. He was very privacy-conscious, so it was uncharacteristic for him. Now he’s dead. I wonder if there’s still any way to get it deleted.

Librewolf updates follow FF updates pretty quickly. Arkenfox settings haven’t changed much in a long time, so I don’t see that as an issue, personally.

So if you try to access a website using this technology via terminal, what happens? The connection fails?

Not to mention prion diseases.

Thank you for your service.

Interesting idea.

Wow, I did not know that they were behind YouTube’s problems.

So that’s where people are getting these beta versions newer than mine. I’ve seen them on the network but I didn’t know if they were legit.

By MuWire, I meant the network, not the software. I wasn’t aware it was being developed again, actually. Maybe the current political climate made the dev feel like his work was needed again. The network never died. I use Linux too. eMule and Gnutella both have Linux clients, but availability might vary from one distro to another. On openSuse Tumbleweed, we have aMule and GTK-Gnutella. Based on the IP addresses I see, they seem more popular in Europe than in the US.

aMule is also available on Linux.

Many of the old file-sharing networks are still around and actively in use. MuWire has a lot of interesting books and recordings. EMule is a good place to find music, including obscure remixes. Gnutella is mostly porn, including child porn that’s so open I feel like it might be part of a law enforcement operation.

Retroshare seems like a p2p Facebook rather than a file-sharing network. I’ve always wanted to get into it, but I don’t know anyone else using it.

You can use Invidious or Piped as a frontend, and there will be a link you can click to download, no need to install anything.

As a non-Russian, what’s the problem with them?

Books can go on z-lib. Everything else, bittorrent?

Eating cheese in food like pizza or lasagna upsets my stomach a lot, but eating cheese off a block is fine. 🤔
