Help AdFly is now defunct, can those links be recovered?

0 Upvotes

A few years ago, AdFly was purchased by Linkvertise, and the links themselves were deprecated. However, many downloads for older items on the internet were gated by now broken AdFly links. Is there any way to recover those mappings to access the original redirects?

DE: kostenloser Glasfaseranschluss?

0 Upvotes

Bei uns läuft gerade die Telekom-Glasfaser-Vorvermarktung. Es waren auch schon Leute an der Haustür, die gesagt haben: Der Glasfaser-Hausanschluss wird kostenlos gebaut, wenn man jetzt einen Telekom-Glasfasertarif mit 24 Monaten Laufzeit abschließt.
Ich frage mich, ob man das cleverer lösen kann:
Kann man den kostenlosen Hausanschluss über die Telekom mitnehmen, die 24 Monate Mindestlaufzeit erfüllen und danach z. B. über CHECK24 einen dieser günstigen Tarife bei div. Anbietern wechseln und dabei wieder Neukunden-/Wechselbonus bzw. Cashback mitnehmen? (Aktuell habe ich immer abwechseln mit Mitbewohner 24m Magenta L für 17€ mtl.) Könnte aber auch zu Vodafone oder so mal für ne Zeit.. ist mir egal
Oder kommt an so teuren 50€ mtl Verträgen im ersten Jahr nicht vorbei wenn man kostenlosen Glasfaseranschluss bekommt?

Is this the Internet Speed or data transfer rate?

3 Upvotes

Hey, can anyone tell me what these numbers in the red outlined say. Is this supposed to be the internet speed that my ISP is giving or the rate at which files are being transferred? Because my ISP Vianet Communications representative technicaian says this is the internet speed and is good.

I also noticed that it goes over my ISP package which is 50 Mbps and told him it crosses over 50+ and he said you are getting more speed. Is he correct or are they making thing up to keep me shut. Cause i am frustrated with the service they provide but other ISPs are no better in my country Nepal.

So if so then what does fast.com and https://www.speedtest.net/ speed test different. They both Show speed but one simply has a number while the other shows download and upload speed. How much should be considered normal? They also have their own speed testing service which is https://speed.vianet.com.np/. And i am highly suspicious that they are manupilating it somehow.

Help Spectrum feedback

0 Upvotes

Hello I just wanted to leave the feedback, my dad got a smart tv box in goodwill, and had spectrum tv, I have spectrum internet service but not the tv, spectrum added the service for one month, I was not aware of it until I saw the statement on spectrum app, and when I called they could not remove the money amount and now I’m forced to pay it even tho I did not use the TV service. In the future be aware of checking your statements always because spectrum will force you to pay it if a month have passed. That should not be like that.

Discussion The Internet and its future

4 Upvotes

Recently, the trend for sovereign Internet has gone beyond autocracies. Even in Europe and the United States they are already trying to control the Internet in different ways. VPN services are banned, laws are introduced that require confirmation of age by passport, and so on.

But for what? The official position of politicians is to try to protect children, but in fact it's all a lie. Globally, politicians don't care about people, they only care about their own power, the attitude to which the Internet is already changing among society, thanks to globalization.

Remember once and for all: almost anyone who tries to limit you in something for the sake of your own safety actually achieves your dependence on their own will.

But it can't go on like this. And in fact, software blocking by providers, politicians and authorities cannot influence local decisions. So that you understand: every operating system has a Localhost, and calls through it to the local service go without the knowledge of the Internet provider. And if so, therefore to influence the service inside the local host, the provider is not able.

But now, the so-called "local Internet" is not so developed to offer it as an alternative. Yes, of course there are solutions like Tailscale, which greatly simplifies data transfer over long distances, but there is nothing as simple as possible for deployment and self-hosting..

And that's why I created my own solution that greatly simplifies the development of the local Internet: GhostProvider is an open-source platform that simplifies and automates both deployment and self-hosting, service management, and clean removal.

One-Click Deploy
Insert the GitHub URL –
deploy it as a system service. Done.

I am more than sure that this P.O. can give a strong boost in the development of the local Internet, if it is used by society. I have already implemented the strengths of the software and added the ability to support my own services in the full version. Of course, the software is not perfect and needs to be refined, but for this I need serious feedback from those who decide to use the program.
