Cool!
Unfortunately the page that supposedly has the pilot appears empty to me.
You're welcome. I'm still trying out a few, including Yep and the SearchXNG instance that comes built into Firedragon browser.
Back when I used to watch Netflix in a web browser, I had a browser extension that gave me lots of different capabilities, including all kinds of playback speeds.
I can't remember the name of the extension I used then, but I see there are still plenty of extensions available. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/search/?q=netflix
You're welcome.
I don't know about hosting costs. I do know that Firedragon is a side project of Garuda Linux, a volunteer-developed distro with a Donate page.
One thing: Turn off your phone's WiFi and Bluetooth when travelling.
"When the looting starts, the shooting starts," they said. Then...
Anyone looking into the search history of Trump administration officials, Secret Service, DC police, US Marshals etc?
- "Westminster" specifically for Parliament.
- "Downing Street" for the prime minister and the cabinet.
- "Whitehall" for central government as a whole, ministries and departments.
A whole bunch of alternatives here, a few federated, quite a few open source:

IIRC major streaming services like Netflix and Prime do not offer 1080p or 4k streams to Linux browsers, mainly for technical reasons. You have to use some tricks (special extensions or add-ons?) to get anything above 720p.
As someone who used Opera 2002-2013 (Presto era), I quibble with the "always".
But I do not quibble with the "is".
(Giving me flashbacks to the days of the Slyck forums!)
As first torrents, then cyberlockers, and then streaming came to dominate, the other P2P networks and programs did one of the following:
Every now and then, I try a Kad/ed2k client but soon return to torrents. E.g. a few months ago I tried out aMule on Linux... and got a LowID. 23 years after I first started using it, I still can't dodge LowID 😂 It does have content, though.
Compared to previous times I revisited Kad/ed2k, some sites/services with ed2k links have now finally disappeared: MoTV (Ministry of Television), TV Underground, ShareTheFiles. I think VeryCD is still going though.
Shareaza is still a thing (at least, a fork of it is), still claiming to be the one P2P app to rule all the networks. One of only three clients left (according to Wikipedia) that still access the Gnutella network.
Just to see what's up, I installed Gtk-Gnutella (last updated March 2024). I can find a few things in searches, but still waiting for them to begin to download. UPDATE: One just started downloading, although the speed is max 50 Kib/s, ETA is at least a few hours.
I might give a Soulseek client a try, as a hard drive full of music I got from Soulseek in 00s recently died (yes, it lasted 15 years!), and Soulseek seems to be the music P2P that never dies (and has a Linux client).
PS I don't think Retroshare is a "new iteration"; it's been going since 2006!
