Hollywood CEOs are trying to live off the value added to society of artists’ creative works.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

I thought we left the memes and greentext back on Reddit.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

This is a good way to hide, actually. Port forwarding connections are easier to trace long-term. If you make the downloader port forward instead of the uploader, the one who’s easily traced is the one who’s in less trouble and the real targets stay hidden. But leechers are lazy and won’t do that. Some Scene FTPs do this.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

If you do that in Germany, they’ll take you to court and win. You have to pay their legal fees too.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Just use a VPN

WarmApplePieShrek ,

BREIN

WarmApplePieShrek ,

BREIN. There’s an evil villain name if I ever saw one.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

They do it with German efficiency.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Better, follow /r/trackersignups. There are more trackers than just TorrentLeech.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

So they’re giving you a magnet link to child porn? Nice. Sue them.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

I’d prefer not to advertise to peers the IP I’m hosting those on.

Yeah don’t be like this guy: 88.198.43.12/rutorrent4/(Disk is full. Poor bugger.)

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Ironically, this site is captcha-walled…

WarmApplePieShrek ,

It’s not unlikely. Watermarking is real. And they don’t make it easy to strip off.

@dbzer0 your reddit is broken, it keeps changing & to & in links and the opposite not in links

WarmApplePieShrek ,

I2P is separate from normal internet. It’s not an alternative to VPN.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Cooler and less cool because no exit nodes. It’s fully separate from normal internet.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Private trackers see your ratio because your client tells it to them. If you cheat, you get banned. They can tell you cheat because the seeder reports upload but you don’t report download. You must not use private tracker torrents except on their tracker because it looks like cheating because the other client isn’t connected to their tracker, and you will get banned.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

You can mod any open source client to cheat but most of them don’t give you buttons to do it.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

I2P router means the I2P software on your computer. You don’t have to buy a new router.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

It’s BitTorrent. There are seeders.

I2P has servers to run websites, but they mean I2P itself has no central servers that control it, like Tor does.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Useless for torrenting - you’ll overload the outproxy.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Private trackers promote seeding, but people don’t seed for more reasons than getting caught. Public trackers are leechfests. Some of my public torrents, I have ratio 30 and I’m still the only seeder. Why should I bother with this, if nobody else will? I should put the torrent on a private tracker where other people will help spread it, and stop public seeding.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Fine for Tor. But check the rules first so you don’t get banned for duplicate IP.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Not always needed with private trackers.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

I2P doesn’t really have exit nodes. You can only browse within the I2P network.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

BTGuard

Expensive VPN with less features. Probably made sense 12 or 13 years ago.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Great for privacy. So great, that half the internet won’t let you browse, because they can’t sell you data for money.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Just different. Torrent protocol UTP is based on UDP, it has some advantages, you couldn’t get with Tor

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Specifically, it overloads the network. A single VPN server used for torrenting (proton, air, nord, etc) deals more traffic than the whole Tor network.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

SOCKS5 proxies don’t.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Most providers have long-term plans for less - like $3/month for 2-3 years. That’s still the cost of eating a few meals out. Some of them even have port forwarding. Why spend double the money for less features?

Is ProtonVPN worth it?

@piracy

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't . So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while myself.

Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Works great and supports port forwarding. VPNs don’t rat you out to comcast, they’d lose all their customers.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

PF influences reverse connections to you when downloading as well. People can connect to you and upload to you. If the torrent is really badly seeded you might not be able to download it.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Usenet

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Try OpenVPN?

WarmApplePieShrek ,

If you use OpenVPN, their client doesn’t matter

WarmApplePieShrek ,

If they don’t care, you don’t need security.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Those are low risk because the traffic doesn’t go to the internet.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Tor has lots of bandwidth for browsing. Just not for streaming or torrenting. You can use it to browse trackers.

What are your thoughts on fiber through the city?

After 16 years of living in my city, they will finally have city-wide fiber internet. I’m pretty stoked because the fastest internet I could possibly have is a WISP at 50gbps down and 10gbps up. Now I will finally have gigabit but it’s through the city, and I’m wondering if they will be more strict on illegal content...

WarmApplePieShrek ,

You probably meant 50mbps down and 10mbps up

WarmApplePieShrek ,

There’s no realistic scenario where the fiber for the street comes to your desktop. Some homelabs have fiber from the street to a switch/router, then more fiber from there to the desktop.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

And not the usual “wrong opinion”. Some platforms demonetise you for the wrong opinion “hitler had the right idea” but youtube demonetises you for the wrong opinion “right to repair”

WarmApplePieShrek ,

twitter’s not meant to be an experiment. Musk is just really stupid. But other platforms are learning from it anyway

WarmApplePieShrek ,

He turned off the like and retweet numbers. He filled everyone’s feed with ads that don’t say ads. He bans everyone he disagrees with about anything, as soon as he notices them.

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Because the content is on youtube. What if we mirrored it?

WarmApplePieShrek ,

Nebula is like this

WarmApplePieShrek ,

The pessimist in me says to look out for a bill authored by Google to make adblocking illegal.

But the optimist in me says “the Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it.”

They’re both right.

Do you know what the DMCA is?
