Seedbox Reqs
  • If pricing is a concern that shouldn't rule out a VPS. Managed seedboxes are way more expensive than setting it up yourself for the same amount of storage/bandwidth.

    Go to lowendbox.com and/or use serverhunter.com to find a VPS that's more in your price range. I currently pay $22/mo for 8TB of storage and 50 TB of bandwidth at 1Gbps.

    If you absolutely don't want to use a VPS for some reason, then I had a very good experience with feralhosting. I used them for 3 years without issue. But 8TB with them is around $75/mo compared to the $22/mo I'm paying now.

  • Anon goes to therapy
  • I'm not sure either. Everyone is always saying to try therapy but when I finally caved it just... didn't do anything for me. I went through seven different therapists over the course of about five years and all of them felt like a complete waste of time and money.

    Some were easier to talk to than others but ultimately it didn't really matter. Nothing changed at all. My conclusion is that therapists are only for people with superficial problems not actual issues that require tangible solutions.

    'Gooner 9/11' averted as Zenless Zone Zero's butt-obfuscation technology is rolled back in the face of horny outrage
  • Of course. Just like how GTA players are actually closet mass murderers.

  • Marvel Rivals director reflects on hated Helldivers 2 nerfs - 'Players don't like things taken away'
  • It actually baffles me that someone designed that ult. If he could eat one person it's already strong but the fact he can literally CC an entire team for like 10 seconds especially with how overtime works is just plain stupid.

  • Google reacts angrily to report it will have to sell Chrome
  • I am curious how selling it would even work when Chromium is a BSD license. Or do they only have to sell Chrome and not Chromium?

  • "Windows Intelligence": Microsoft may drop Copilot in major AI rebranding
  • I don't think Microsoft is capable of not fumbling everything related to the Halo franchise.

  • Guitar hero on Linux
  • One of those rare games with an actually good native Linux version

  • Baldur's Gate 3 publishing chief calls out Ubisoft's 'broken strategy': If gamers need to get used to not owning games, 'developers must get used to not having jobs'
  • The multiplayer also works no problem without Steam. I own the game on Steam and I did a playthrough with friends who torrented it. They just had to keep the patches up to date manually.

  • How the success of Baldur's Gate 3 and Monopoly Go are driving Hasbro's "all in" digital strategy
  • On the bright side I would much rather see a Divinity Original Sin 3 than a Baldur's Gate 4 from Larian. Now they are free to do their own thing again.

    Is it a reasonable expectation to check peoples profiles when commenting on their comments to ensure I am pronouning them correctly?
  • I didn't say or imply anything about behavior. Just that merely having the assumption is not sexist. I didn't even say people should have that assumption, just that it's statistically reasonable which it is.

    Your comment here does more to chase people away than what I said. Now I see why a lot of people block hexbear.

  • On the internet as a whole? Sure, you have a point.

    But on Lemmy I'm fairly certain the demographic is at least 80% male in the same way there's an over-representation of Linux users. If you assume a user is male you're going to be right the vast majority of the time. It's not sexism it's statistically a reasonable guess.

  • Is this true about Generation gap in Piracy?
  • You just reminded me there actually was a browser called Torch that could download torrents like a normal download. It was basically just Chrome with a built-in torrent client.

    I remember trying it out when it first came out in 2012. It never caught on and looks like the last release was in 2020.

  • What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?
  • Unfortunately the hostile takeover of the developer/publisher makes it hard to recommend buying. It's a must-play but not a must-buy.

  • The Disappearance of an Internet Domain
  • I guess by "cybercrime" they mean piracy, because that's the main thing I've seen .su used for.

  • How do VPN companies get away with DMCA?
  • PIA is the best for torrents. It is $79 for 39 months which is $2.03/mo and they have port forwarding. That's less than half of pretty much every other provider.

    I have had 3 clients (one for a specific tracker, one for everything else, and an extra seedbox) going 24/7 for years with no problems. No complaints about the speeds either. I frequently saturate full gigabit on both downloads and uploads.
