Its time to share the wiki and get your friends on board the ship as we set sail. We all have to rally together to stop the neverending subscription model.
Unknown actors, some weird bunk bed on the side, some power dynamic going on with the guy, low-quality set design, looks like they spent more on the girl's makeup than anything else in the shot.
Instead of installing firefox and setting up..
Just install Librewolf. A firefox fork with UO built in, and all the privacy settings activated by default. Even the hidden ones.
And yes is still supports FF sync etc.
By default it clears cache etc when you close it. It can be annoying for some users.
Mullvad no longer supports port forwarding and isn't really used by anyone in the torrenting community any longer. Most of those users have moved over to IVPN or AirVPN.
Port forwarding allows you to connect to DHT/PeX swarms and helps saturate your client with connections. In practice, it allows for faster speeds as more connections are established.
is PIA still a decent VPN? What about torrent clients? I used to use an older version of uTorrent but now I'm on Kubuntu and it has a built in torrent client.
Short answer by making a few assumptions: Don't patronize PIA unless you can't or don't want to pay for better, and the built in torrent client is fine if you're happy with it, but qBittorrent would be a good match with your desktop environment if you want to try something else.
Happy to answer questions in like 10h when i'm awake again lol
PIA is owned by Kape Technologies., a dodgy company, founded by a member is Israel’s Intelligence Devision. They’re known to spread malware, steal users data, and redirect traffic to advertisers. That being said, PIA claims that despite being owned by Kape, they remain in control of their day-to-day operations. I haven’t heard of any major issues, since the acquisition. Kape also seems to like the profitability of their (several) VPNs.
Up to you if you trust them with your data. Personally, I do not.
PIA is pretty shady. I'm only still using them because I paid for multiple years of service and while they're a bad choice for privacy, it does the job of not making my ISP angy.
I signed up for a lifetime price of PIA because it was very cheap and have been using it ever since, but recently I noticed they doubled the charge out of the blue on me with no notice.
I honestly can't understand people bitching about getting screwed by subscriptions, or the number of them they have.
I got Amazon Prime because I started buying most of my shit that way during the pandemic. (Guess who's never caught COVID!) But all I care about is the discounted shipping. I still steal their videos and put them on my NAS.
God no. Piracy must be gatekept from the normalfags. Stop introducing it to every person. They can not shut their mouths and will inevitably bring an end to piracy.
For anyone wondering, their account was created two days ago and half of their handful of comments are like this. That person is baiting. Just report, block, and move on.
Piracy will always be an arms race. The only way they can end it is by solving the problems that drive people to it. The size of the Internet is too large to block. I know I stopped piracy for 5 years because everything was accessible on Netflix and Hulu. Now all these streaming services I picked it back up.
Cancelled Prime because half the content has ads now, and the rest are getting ads next year.
What I want is one service, all mainstream content (no longer in cinemas, a few months after the disc release), for around £30/mo. 4K, HDR, good audio. I'm really not asking much. It's got to the point where I want to watch something specific, check justwatch and find that either the only way to get it is to rent it for twice the price of buying the disc, or that none of them have it.
They need to learn from the music services. Music was the most pirated stuff a few years back, but now I just have Spotify and can listen to whatever, whenever. I don't need 3 services, and fuck around looking for stuff.
Exactly. They are perfectly fine with paying subscriptions and getting cuckolded by streaming services. There is no reason to deliberately introduce them to piracy. All it takes to shutdown a site is one of them posting on tik tok or other platforms and attracting unwanted attention.
