Pirating "The Pirate Bay" TV Series is Ironically Difficult (Updated) * TorrentFreak #copyrights

The Pirate Bay made its debut as a TV series on the Swedish streaming platform SVT Play earlier today. International viewers are left waiting until other services pick it up. In the meantime, some may be tempted to explore unofficial channels for pirated copies of the show. But finding a pirated copy is proving surprisingly difficult.

Germany drafts law to protect researchers who find security flaws #law #security

The Federal Ministry of Justice in Germany has drafted a law to provide legal protection to security researchers who discover and responsibly report security vulnerabilities to vendors.

When security research is conducted within the specified boundaries, those responsible will be excluded from criminal liability and the risk of prosecution.

"Those who want to close IT security gaps deserve recognition—not a letter from the prosecutor," stated Federal Minister of Justice Dr. Marco Buschmann.

"With this draft law, we will eliminate the risk of criminal liability for people who take on this important task," mentions the Minister in the same statement.

Additionally, the proposed amendment to the criminal law introduces stricter penalties for serious cases of data spying and interception, particularly when critical infrastructure is targeted.

Caring for yourself while caring for others | NIH MedlinePlus Magazine #health

If you’re a caregiver, you also need to take care of yourself. Principles below can be applied universally in every life situations.

1. Let others lend a hand

As a caregiver, you might feel like you have to do it all. But you’re not in this alone. Reach out to friends and family for help, and don't be afraid to say yes when someone offers support.

Be specific about what you need. Maybe a friend could pick up groceries or a family member could sit with your loved one for an hour while you take a break. Many people want to help—they just might not know how.

2. Take time to recharge

Try to do something for yourself every day. You could read a chapter of a book you enjoy, practice deep breathing or meditation, or meet up with a friend. Even if it’s just a short walk or a few minutes of quiet time, stepping away from caregiving responsibilities can help recharge your batteries.

3. Prioritize your own health

One of the most important parts of self-care is taking care of your own health. This includes being active, eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep.

It’s also important to keep up with your own medical appointments and screenings. Make sure your doctor knows about your caregiving role and tell them how you’ve been feeling (both physically and mentally).

4. Be gentle with yourself

It’s common to experience a wide range of emotions as a caregiver. You might feel frustrated, sad, resentful, joyful—all in the same day or even in the same hour! These feelings are a normal part of the caregiving experience, and it’s okay to express them.

5. Recognize when it’s time for a break

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider speaking with a counselor or your doctor. They can offer resources and support to help you manage these feelings.

Respite care, which offers short-term relief for primary caregivers, may also be an option. Services can range from a few hours of in-home help to a short stay with your loved one at their care facility. Respite care gives caregivers time to rest, travel, or spend time with other family and friends.

6. Connect with other caregivers

Caregiver support groups can be a great way to talk about your experience with people who understand what you’re going through. Your health care provider or local senior center may be able to recommend a group in your area.
