How to stop the hacker or the hacking?
  • Change your passwords AFTER reseting your PC. Otherwise the hacker could gain access to your new passwords.

  • How could I start a torrent site and not get caught?
  • well good thing you said to not take this advice because it's not really good.

    1. Don't use crypto mixers, a lot of them are scams and their usefullness is up to debate -> instead use monero, the actual private crypto that is used throughout darknet.
    2. Don't use VPNs to be anonymous. VPN are useful for a few things: torrenting, browsing on a public wifi and bypassing georestrictions. they are not useful if you want to be anonymous! To be anonymous, use TOR (or i2p) 3.the VM advice is good. alternatively you could use TailsOS which is more user friendly.
    3. Don't. Especially if you need to ask how to do it first.
  • Comic Piracy is Easy, Just Different.
  • I use tachiyomi with readcomiconline.li and readcomicsonline addon and I always get what I am searching for. I can download to read later and the ui is pretty good. Your solution sounds great but I don't need all the comics in the world.

  • What types of services are you not willing to self-host?
  • XMPP is safer and lighter anyway

  • Distro suggestions?
  • Second fedora, it looks modern, has up to date packages and is hardened. (selinux)

  • Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
  • it's an HP based on ryzen. the ID is "HP 15s-eq1706nz" I tried looking for info on internet and asking in a few forums but the model does not seem popular and HP wont provide linux drivers. I tried a lot of stuff like editing configs and such but nothing worked. The interesting thing is that when booting from a live USB, the touchpad works perfectly but after installing it isn't even recognised.

  • I would love to use Linux on my laptop but the touchpad isn't recognised and only has windows drivers :( i have tried so much stuff but it didnt work out. My desktop is mostly for gaming so windows makes more sense.

  • Why torrenting haven't fully adopted I2P?
  • Yeah that is really slow and they didn't say if it was global or a single torrent. 500kbs is slow for one torrent but if 500kbs is all the torrents combined then that is extremely slow

  • Why torrenting haven't fully adopted I2P?
  • You can configure it on a headless machine and just forward the webui over an SSH tunnel for configiration / monitoring

  • Anna’s Archive
  • Also libgen iirc

  • Why torrenting haven't fully adopted I2P?
  • What kind of speeds are you seeing per torrent and global with a few torrents running? I didn't try torrenting on I2p yet but even with my node on 24/7 even browsing was hella slow ( i was port forwarded too)

  • websites for torrenting software Megastat and Minitab
  • Ah I understand about the DHT. There must be a way to find the original source tho right? I'm not sure I agree when you say that the site is as trustable as you. Sites and uploaders are vetted. That's why there's a wiki, if a trusted uploaded includes malware he would be banned, if he isn't banned, the site would be removed from the wiki.

  • What are some good options to change from defaults in qbittorrent?
  • Port forward

    Also don't set anonymous mode, it's not useful and gives you worse performance

  • I don't think we should encourage downloading a magnet link from a random stranger on lemmy, could you link the site or aggregator where you found this?

  • Empress forgot to take her meds again
  • Hey could you link a source for that? I was thinking of switching to graphene os but this drama makes me feel unsure.

  • What happens if the Swiss government orders the VPN compagny to log the IP of your account? VPN also allows for cross site fingerprinting so your identity can be correlated between sites.
