    Reminder (if you're in a hellhole where a VPN is needed for torrenting) to bind your network adapter in qbittorrent to your VPN so that in the event your VPN drops it doesn't automatically fail over into the host ("real") network interface and expose your ip for copyright claims.

    This is found under settings -> advanced -> network Interface.

    Also reminder that any game that you definitely legally own that only uses steamdrm can be played offline by using the Goldberg Steam emulator. Check the readme on that project page for more information/instructions.

      I just use private trackers, never bothered with a VPN and I've been torrenting since it was a thing.

        I really should spend some time to get into the better private trackers (MaM is the only one I've used).

        My advice still stands for anyone using public trackers.

          The private tracker ecosystem used to be so much more vibrant and easy to get into. Trackers like red with their weird interview shit are just about gatekeeping, that shit's for nerds. Cool trackers hand out freeleech tokens or don't give a shit about your ratio unless it's award winningly bad.

            I'm trying to remember which site had a hectic interview in IRC that I had to study for - maybe what.cd?

            one that is definitely 100% gone now.

            Also, can't wait to get banned from XWT again like i did 10 years ago because australian internet was so shit

              What.cd :sicko-wistful:

              I don't remember there being an interview for that one but it's been so long. I still have some what.cd vinyl stickers floating around somewhere.

      I followed a tutorial I found for Linux that tells my computer not to connect to anything except my VPN which I explicitly whitelisted.

      If it fails, I'll just go online and look up how to undo it :blob-no-thoughts:
