Hmm I see. Kind of a shame really that they stopped using it, would make it super easy to seed content just by putting the torrent in your torrent client. I wonder why they couldn't have the videos encoded the new way but still use torrenting to seed. Oh well hopefully someone makes a standalone seeding program or plugin in the future.

How does it seed videos anyway? I'm not familiar with this feature of Peertube, is it using Bittorrent? if so one could just use any Bittorrent client assuming Peertube exposes the magnet link (they really should).

Did you actually read what I said or did you assume I'd say something specific and then just respond to that without reading...

Exactly, EVs just make more sense since they are more versatile in how you can charge them, you can charge them using a Gas generator (using that stockpile of Gasoline) or with a Solar setup if you're in it for the long term. A gas or Diesel car can only run on Gas and is basically useless once all the gas runs out or goes bad, and unlike electricity it's basically impossible to make Gasoline or Diesel yourself.

I think people have this unchallenged fantasy that they can stockpile Gas and it'll just last forever but it won't. Gasoline (yes Diesel too) is volatile and goes bad over time as the volatiles evaoprate, or as it oxidizes. Batteries if well taken care of can last for years, decades even. They are more sustainable long term than Gasoline is and ever will be.

The ideal one would probably be an EV that can handle off-roading, since you can charge an EV with Solar or a Generator, but like you said Gas infrastructure isn't something that can be relied on if the world is ending, or the economy is shot (takes much less to derail the petroleum industry than the apocalypse, anyone who was alive in America in the 70s can attest to that).

I like what you said though about a bike and that probably would be the go to thing for most applications. Since even though you can charge an EV from solar or Generator (I'm assuming at Level 1 because Level 2 is extremely intense) it'll take a long time and be a lot of effort. So the EV would probably only be for things you can't do with a Bike like moving things that are too heavy or bulky to carry in a cargo bike.

Because Archive.org are cucks unlike ArchiveTeam and seem to think that the current domain owner is the owner of the site and its historical content (why they render pages invisible/deleted if the current domain owner Blacklists the internet archive).

This is a weird argument considering that gas and Diesel absolutely go bad over time, and unlike electricity you can't exactly make more of them.

I mean you can set up solar panels, a water wheel, or Wind Turbine for off grid generation. And thus you can still charge an EV and many other things. With smaller or moderate solar setups it's probably not going to charge super fast but you could still charge it.

Compare that to gas and Diesel. It may seem better since you just pour it in the tank and it works without hours or days of charging. But eventually it's going to go bad, and it's going to start going bad everywhere in your own stockpile, in the gas stations and more isn't being drilled and refined.

Diesels are slightly better than gasoline engines since you can convert them to run them off different oils, there really isn't anything else you can run a gasoline engine off. But those are also finite, and even though some of them you can make yourself it's actually more work to produce enough vegetable oil to fuel a diesel engine then it is to use solar or wind to charge a battery. Even at abysmally slow speeds.

And actually ironically Diesel and gasoline have these same issues even outside of apocalyptic settings. If there was an economic crisis (or just some idiot in power) which stopped drilling and refining from happening then Diesel and gas will run out and those Diesel and gasoline cars are going to do nobody any good.

For all the people saying it's the instance trying to cover themselves, No. This is a mod account which is not an admin nor appears to be affiliated with the Admins. This is very clearly a person trying to frame criticism of Zionism as antisemitic to attempt to suppress criticism of Israel and their actions. PTB.

It's not "a bit misleading" for them to call it unlimited and then ban people for using too much data, it's extremely misleading, almost bordering on scammy. If I were OP I would've done a chargeback and switched VPNs instead of begging them for an unban. They deserve it for lying and trying to deceive customers. Vote with your wallet (and chargebacks) if you want companies to stop doing shitty shady like this.

That idiot is literally spamming my DMs full of porn. How much of a loser does one have to be to send hundreds of messages like this to someone (I censored it).

This person isn't doing that though, they're clearly freebooting off other instances.
