Large EU countries have a higher per capita scientific output than the US


If you weight papers by some measure of impact, e.g. by citation count, this is not true.

The Nature Index, which shows that data, already only selects the most impactful journals. I wasn't able to find any data that weighs output by citation count.


+1 for a Pixel GrapheneOS. Kinda surprised it wasn't mentioned, because I feel like it fits your criteria well (except for the headphone jack)

It's very much a community effort! There's a semi-open discord (the invites are only open on fridays) with a website suggestion and voting system


"Beer that fell off a truck" has a somewhat negative connotation, but FMHY-listed sites are generally not only free, but also high quality, especially the starred ones. Nowadays when I'm looking for a service to do something I just search FMHY instead of a search engine. Much better results.

“Fell off the back of a truck” is a euphemism for stolen goods; it’s not so much about quality (indeed warez releases are often stripped of ads/launchers/annoyances, rendering them very high quality).


No disrespect to the project, but it is a bit hard to find motivation to contribute to something that will most likely end up being used by like 100 people who'll all just post videos about how they're better than Tiktok users

This looks like a shallow dismissal to me.

You could buy a wifi module, a basic camera and microphone for less than a few dollars

Even better, one that specifically says "I don't know if that's it for sure"

Email aliasing is a thing

Do you know Anna's Archive already has a feature that lets you automatically download a subset of the torrents that fit under your available storage space and contain the most important (least preserved) data? How is your project different from that?

Levin uses that feature exactly! It is not unique in finding what torrents to seed; It's unique in that it dynamically uses the available diskspace (removing / adding data when needed / possible), and automatically turning off when not plugged-in / on wifi connection.

That makes sense, nice!

that feature has a "max terabytes" field. phones typically do not have terabytes of storage, and even if they did, people may not want to seed that much

It says "max terabytes", but nothing's stopping you from putting less than 1 there. If you want 10 gigabytes, you can just put 0.01 in there.

which means you will get torrents whose total size is smaller or equal to 10gb, which mostly contain metadata, instead of partially seeding actual books, which come in much larger torrents
