I am aware. I have been a Thunderbird user for at least 15 years which is why I am unhappy with their general treatment of it over the years as a second class citizen. But at least it is in a better place now.

They are a for-profit company including laying off staff but their CEO still makes CEO money even while the company is struggling. Not to mention if you are trying to degoogle that is where Mozilla makes the bulk of its income. That’s just a few things of many, they’ve also made stupid decisions like leaving Thunderbird out in the cold for years or that whole Colorways thing they wasted time on. Not to mention I don’t actually even like Firefox the browser. I use librewolf strictlty out of principle and not because I actually prefer it over chromium. I think it is inferior in most ways but I am opposed to the centralization so here we are.

Hardened by default, no telemetry, no Pocket, virtually everything Mozilla-related removed, and timely updates unlike some other forks. It is like the Ungoogled Chromium equivalent of Firefox. Since I do not like the company it is the perfect option for me.

Also eventually we will (if not already) be able to generate brand new fake people anyway, so they won’t even need the extras. Obviously that won’t work for the actual main cast, but for background actors it makes sense. Crowds and far away people have already been done in CGI for over a decade now.

I recommend Jellyfin as well. Open source, local accounts, and no features locked behind a pass. The Jellyfin TV clients are a little more bare bones but the server software itself is pretty much equal nowadays. I have the lifetime Plex Pass but I have moved away from Plex completely now after the direction they’ve been heading in the last couple of years.

Yeah my comment wasn’t a knock at the software or devs. I just think libtorrent v2 is not quite ready for widespread use yet. Since OP is talking people migrating to I2P then it needs to be more stable before that can happen. A few years from now I’m sure it will be a great option.

libtorrent 2 also has some issues. On unRAID for instance it causes crashes so I am forced to use v1 builds. And on other systems it has high memory usage so it’s not exactly ready for prime time.

Theoretically they could take those two characters + a salt and then also store that hash. So there it is technically a way to do it although it’d be incredibly redundant, just ask for the actual password at that point.

Theoretically they could hash the the two characters with a salt and store it that way, but extremely unlikely they’d actually do that. And also fairly pointless. But still technically possible.
