To reduce the visibility of content from a specific federated instance in Lemmy, you could implement a weighting system for content in the user’s feed. This would allow the user to specify that they want to see less content from a specific instance, while still allowing them to see some content from that instance.
To implement this feature, you would need to:
Add a weighting option in the user settings for instances
Store the weight for each instance for each user in the database
Modify the feed-generating code to apply the weight to posts from that instance for that user. For example, if a user has set a weight of 50% for an instance, only half of the posts from that instance would appear in their feed.
This would allow users to control the visibility of content from specific instances in their feed without completely blocking it.
I don’t like this. There are some instances like Lemmy.ml that may want more of some kind of content, in it’s case FOSS and Privacy communities. This way you would force all instances to be about all topics equally. I personally don’t like to see so much Shit Reactionaries Say posts from Lemmygrad.ml on Lemmy.ml but while this would fix that, it creates a bigger problem than what it’s fixing. There has to be a better way.
What I would like is for users to be able to give communities a weight in the form of 0-100 points represented as 0 to 5 stars and get an amount of posts from each community in their feed proportional to the weight. Otherwise assign a weight automatically to each community based on each user interactions with the posts in the community as a percentage of upvotes vs downvotes. If this would require too much computation then it could be the same but getting the community rating from the average of each user rating for that community. Alternatively only take into account the admins rating and that way the instance is personalized according only to the admin preferences and not the users. But this could make community subscriptions redundant, so it’s probably not the best idea.
The main proposal on Github is to make the visibility equal for all communities by making the weight inversely proportional to the monthly or weekly active users.
I've seen [an issue](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1026) on Github about how
> It's hard to see posts from smaller communities when you are also subscribed to larger communities.
What are your ideas on how this could be accomplished?
Onion routing is a technique used to anonymize communication over a network by encrypting and routing messages through multiple servers, or “onion routers.” It is used in the anonymity network Tor to protect the privacy of users’ internet activity.
If you want to process Monero payments automatically using onion routing, you will need to set up a Monero wallet and an onion routing network. Here are the general steps you can follow to do this:
Set up a Monero wallet: You will need to install a Monero wallet on your computer or mobile device. This will allow you to receive, store, and send Monero.
Set up an onion routing network: There are several options for setting up an onion routing network, such as using the Tor network or setting up your own onion routing network using software like Onion Routing or I2P.
Configure your Monero wallet to use onion routing: Once you have set up your Monero wallet and onion routing network, you will need to configure your Monero wallet to use onion routing. This will usually involve entering the address of an onion router as a proxy in the wallet’s settings.
Set up a payment gateway: To process Monero payments automatically, you will need to set up a payment gateway that can receive Monero payments and route them to your wallet. There are several options for payment gateways that support Monero, such as GloBee or CoinPayments.
Integrate the payment gateway with your website or application: Once you have set up your payment gateway, you will need to integrate it with your website or application so that it can receive Monero payments automatically. This will typically involve adding a payment button or form to your website or application that allows users to enter their Monero payment information and submit it to the payment gateway.
It is worth noting that using onion routing can help to increase the privacy and anonymity of Monero transactions, but it is not a guarantee of anonymity. To ensure the maximum level of privacy, it is important to follow best practices for protecting your anonymity, such as using a VPN, using a separate device for Monero transactions, and avoiding linking your Monero transactions to your identity.
I'm making a rust app and I don't have any idea of how to do this or even if it's possible. I'm not asking for specifics on how to program this which is why I don't think this fits in the rust sublemmy.
I'm using mldonkey which supports many p2p protocols. For the edonkey protocol it required a `server.met.gz` file to connect to more servers. Do I need something like that for the rest of the netwroks? overnet, kademlia, bittorrent, opennap, soulseek, gnutella, gnutella2, fasttrack, directconnect, fileTP.
According to a new poll from the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, almost a third say it may soon be necessary to "take up arms against the government". Two-thirds of Republicans and independents say the government is corrupt and out to get them. That’s compared to 51 percent of liberal voters. Of course, these findings come after a House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol wrapped up it’s final hearing.
What this poll clearly shows, is that the division between conservatives and liberals across the country is only growing. Half of all Americans believe the other side is misinformed about politics because of where they get their news from. And they also believe that the other side want to impose those same beliefs on them. There is very little chance of any meaningful reconciliation happening in the foreseeable future, at least any that would help to bridge this divide.
libby scrapes Library Genesis with curl and pup and gives you a list of downloads with fzf. I made this because I felt the alternatives were too slow. Feel free to add issues/feature requests/PRs!
The tool is available on the AUR as libby-git.

I'm downloading a torrent with many files and it's been at 99.7% for a few months. I would like to know how to search on emule for the same files?
I've thought maybe I can get the hash for a file in qbittorrent but I couldn't and even if I had it, there isn't a database with all the hashes for a file so I couldn't find the emule hash with the bittorrent one.
On [Envy](https://github.com/GetEnvy/Envy) with the default settings and DC++ connection enabled, I've only got 2 G2 hubs, 3 G1 peers, and 1 DC++ hubs after 30 minutes. Only 6 neighbors in total. Is this normal? How do I get more connections? Specially on eDonkey where it hasn't achieved a single connection. And clicking on `Update eDonkey server list from the web. (.MET file)` gives a `Download connection to http://peerates.net/servers.php was lost` error. Does anyone know a way of editing this `.MET` file manually?
::: spoiler Where is the true succesor to eMule?
Most of you will say that the succesor to eMule is BitTorrent as it is the most widely used P2P network today, but there are some things that BitTorrent lacks and eMule provides. The most notorious for me are the following:
Built-in network-wide search
Easy sharing
Unique links
Maybe you don't consider this features important, but the fact is that with the approach BitTorrent takes, we are highly dependent on central points that make the network vulnerable. With BitTorrent we depend on trackers and link listing websites to share content. A torrent client is useless on its own if we don't have a link listing site to get torrents or magnet-links from. On the other side, with the built-in search eMule provides, one can start downloading without the need for a website to take links from.
Easy sharing is also very important, because it provides more peers to download files from. This is specially important on rare files, because with torrents the seeds to download a file can become scattered between different torrents and there can be 5 different torrents seeding the same data, yet they don't share peers. It is clear that one torrent with multiple seeds is preferred that multiple torrents with one seed each, for example.
When there is one single way to identify a file on the network (like with ed2k hashlinks) even the less tech-savvy users are able to contribute. Sharing on eMule is as simple as dropping the file you want to share on your incoming folder (even if it is not the optimal way to do it). In BitTorrent, you must download an existing torrent file or magnet link, stop the download, replace the half downloaded files with the ones you already had downloaded, making sure that you use the same directory structure and filenames that are defined in the torrent, recheck the torrent and start it, all this in order to share files you had downloaded previously. Tell a noob user to do that to help you download some rare file...
And now imagine that you have an entire drive full of sharing material, but the directory structure and filenames differ from the ones used on the torrents (because you like to keep things ordered in your hard drive). This scenario makes it impossible to share those files on the torrent network without creating brand new torrents, so you can't contribute and be one more seed on already existing torrents.
Why not use eMule then? Because it's slow, inneficient, and there is practically only one client that is no longer actively developed. Searching for alternatives, the most similar program that has various clients and is multiplatform is Direct Connect, but it is not decentralized, and different servers don't communicate with each other, so peers for the same file are not shared globally and instead are scattered around different hubs
Is there really no other program that works the way eMule does? Is there no true spiritual succesor to eMule nowadays?

If someone downloads something illegal will I get in trouble because of the i2p network? There was someone who was [raided after using tribler](https://old.reddit.com/r/torrents/comments/30jlz0/raided_after_using_tribler/) and I don't know if this is the same.
I've also seen soulseek but there was only music.
Is there any other?
I've been thinking for a while of how to make a [program like this](https://codeberg.org/RagnarokKnight/jedi-archives#jedi-archives) distributed but I've found no way. So I'm thinking of implementing a client-server model with the server behind tor. Would the server be sued out of existence?
Jewel Hossain, an adolescent from Bogra's College Gate neighborhood, was beaten to death for protesting his mother's inadequate earnings in a rice field.
After the teenager's mother filed a case in the case, two people were arrested on Friday (June 10).
Jochna Begum, the dead teenager's mother, informed the reporters that she obtained a job in a nearby attic for Tk 4,000 per month. If she asked a raise, the owner would lower her pay by Tk 500. As a result, one thousand BDT has been cut to three thousand in the last two years. Due to her poverty, Jochna Begum continued to labor on this income.

I think as soon as there are killer robots, like a flying drone with a mounted gun that never fails or something like that, the elite will use it to keep the status quo indefinitely. And there will be nothing people can do about it.
