    "Keep in mind, though, that you can simply add exceptions to your updatedb.conf file, such that the directories/partitions you list will not be indexed (and hence will not be locatable by slocate)."

    yes, put your hidden directories/partitions in /etc/slocate then slocate will not reveal their existence.

    It seems to me there is something wrong with this sheme but I cannot put my finger on it. Hum ... but then again I'm not a security specialist.

    Currently:

    Ok.

    If you looking for CC music which of these 2 sites will make it easier for you?

  22. Re:So wait... on LegalTorrents Offers CC Works Via BitTorrent · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unknown artists are not uploaded by anyone anywhere except by the artist , they are the only one with the file. Where will they upload it, somewhere they might get money from it or TPB? Sure if they get popular the file will end up everywhere but poeple looking for new stuff and people who love real music will go there instead sifting trough all the RIAA crap on the other torrent sites.

    What about the name of the piratebay? does name of the piratebay indirectly spreads the notion that other torrents are inherently less piraty?

    If the site becomes popular enough , it gives exposure to the artists.

    There, that was not so hard to figure out.
