  • Sure it’s kind of a crazy example… But it is not as ridiculously far removed as you think from parents choosing to let their kids die of preventable diseases.

    It really just comes down to the fact that you think it’s a part of the parents freedom to withhold something that could prevent their child’s needless death at no cost.


  • So parents should be allowed to kill their kids?

    Like in the example a parent is free to decide for a child that food is bad for them, and even when the child dies of starvation it is no problem because it should be seen as an expression of the parents freedom to choose to do so?






  • You are not exactly right, but going in the right direction. Not having a forwarded port means you aren’t ‘connectable’ by peers as your firewall will block incoming traffic. What this means is that only ‘connectable’ peers will be able to connect to you (your client can reach out to them as their port is forwarded). You are however invisible to peers that also aren’t ‘connectable’. You might also experience some degradation in time to connect as people can’t reach out to you.

    To sum it up:

    • Not connectable =X= not connectable (impossible)
    • Not connectable =>= connectable (degraded time to connect when seeding)
    • Connectable === connectable (perfect)
