Pretty good. Downloads on the main app has been something that held people back.

Moving your port over to a nonstandard one is not a solution (unless the problem you experience is too many logs from sshd, and even then, logrotate exists), its security by obscurity which doesn’t really solve anything at all. Only way your server will be safe is by ensuring the packages on your server are up to date and that you harden it to the point where it isn’t too much of nuisance.

If that happens he has my utmost support. I would buy 5 overpriced maga huts in a heartbeat

I don’t think L1/PlayReady SL3K will happen. Imagine Google telling people that in order to view content on their website they need to use a competitor’s browser. Sure, technical people like you and I understand what’s happening behind the scenes, but average joe will just think Google fumbled it and can’t make it work with their own browser, it’s bad press for them. I also think that at least for now there’s too many desktop users to be able to pull it off. They’ll have to tell all the desktop users to go fuck themselves in order to do that, and that will get a good amount of people pissed off.

They’re also facing problems ripping books from Amazon, sadly.

All private music trackers ban mobile torrent clients.

It is aimed at members (often new)of private trackers, a hobby which often assumes you’ve already got a 170tb NAS at home that just needs content to fill it. This is evidenced by the fact they inherit HDBs “golden popcorn” system and tier their groups pretty high up.

Seems like one of them bad apples. Hopefully the admins of their home instance deal with them soon.

I think TRaSH serves as a good base. Their custom filters can be instantly imported using recyclarr and give you a general idea of how custom filters are meant to be used (which can be very overwhelming when you’re new to the ordeal) but sadly I disagree with TRaSH a lot on their group tiers for media formats. I think they make some mistakes placing some encoders as high as they do. (for example: micro encodes from PTer and BHDStudio shouldn’t be in the BluRay groups at all, as some of their releases are compressed harder than WEB releases from streaming services. I download BluRay encodes because I want it to be compressed to the point where it still looks identical to the BluRay it was sourced from.) Once you’re in the game long enough you just make up your own mind on what release groups should be prioritized over others.

As for your question regarding staying within the same file system, the answer is yes. Moving things over to the SSD does two things for you. 1) for every file you also need a duplicate on the SSD, not very efficient. 2) there’s not much to gain from this unless you’re expecting a large amount of simultaneous traffic. An HDD can carry about ~20 streams of 1080p content (as most releases are compressed to 8-10mbps) which is more than enough for most households.

I’d keep the SSD for seeding honestly, so that you can build up buffer on the trackers you’re on, but for most it’s still perfectly doable with HDDs only.

I’m conflicted on the matter. I’m genuinely upset that something digital gets revoked because of a reason that isn’t justifiable (like something leaking or being released too early). Even if you use the argument that music streaming isn’t ownership and it’s just a subscription, something about this feels wrong and like it will set a bad precedent for the future.

Not sure what’s up with the self-entitlement but I got shocking news: I don’t own you anything. You asked for a brief explanation and I told you where to go find it. Instead of writing that snarky comment you could’ve instead used the web for its original purpose and conduct your own research and not bug strangers on the internet to do your bidding.

There are a lot of thorough guides on vidhelp along with dumped L3 keys.

Hello.

Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?

I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it's users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?
