VPNs log your IP.

But they don't log the data going through. The IP alone will not be enough for a conviction at all. They also need to prove that you acquired/shared copyrighted content. Any proper VPN isn't going to log that.

But if you think like that I suppose you aren't very interested in running TOR relays or exits either.

No, I'm not at all interested in that either. I don't want to risk any nefarious traffic that I have no control over running through my network.

I get the appeal of I2P for torrenting and I can absolutely see the value it can bring. But as long as I will have to be a node for other random peoples traffic, I'll pass.

A good VPN won't have any details to hand over that will convict you, even if they wanted to (e.g. mullvad), so they most definitely are enough.

And police are not going after citizens, rights holders are (like they always have been) by suing ISPs in hopes of getting your info.

What in don't like about I2P, is being a node for other peoples traffic.

A proper VPN provider is sufficient to protect against this though. If you, as a Swedish citizen, weren't already using a VPN, you were being an idiot.

I mean, it still makes sense to also use I2P, but it is currently not good enough as a full replacement.

Yeah but putting it on 4G gives them a reason to charge for continuous use of the system and lock them in to their web based proprietary platform.

We don't have plunder, that would imply that we're stealing.

I've used seedit4.me before, but they're really expensive if you want any meaningful amount of storage on them.

The thing is, I'd need the government 2FA app (which doesn't work in graphene) when logging in to my bank on a browser as well, so that doesn't change anything.

And I can't do anything, I can't check my digital mailbox (not email, we have something specifically for official communication with bank, government etc.), I can't log in to check messages from my kids school, I can't order a doctors appointment...you get the picture.

No that doesn't work either, but we use a 2FA app to enable mobile banking access, SS access, school communications/message board etc., basically anything that requires you to prove your identity. That app doesn't work in graphene at all, it flat out refuses and states the OS isn't secure or the app isn't installed from a valid source, so all things dependant on this doesn't work on graphene.

Edit: a lot of other things also fail because graphene apparently doesn't pass the google play safety check either.

People contemplating moving to graphene, do be aware that banking etc. absolutely can be a major PITA on graphene as well. Several official apps used where i live cannot work in graphene, even with sandboxed play services installed, making day-to-day life functionally impossible with graphene. Luckily reverting to stock android is easy, although I probably wouldn't have bought a pixel phone if I was planning on using stock OS.

There's a web interface included that works OTB.

Im running qbit in docker and haven't had a single issue with it.

I tested a little more...I can only download a single track, one at a time. If I try to download albums or collections it consistently fails. Neat site, but getting any meaningful amount of music would require way too much manual effort like that.

Yeah that's why I'm not trying with Spotify, like I wrote. I tried qobuz and tidal, both fail.

Every single album and song I try to download (not from Spotify) fails with error code 404.

I'm not sure if qbit has a setting for it, but what I've done is that I have multiple instances/docker containers of qbit. One is specifically for ratio requiring torrents where I don't have a bandwidth limit on upload and have a higher limit of active seeding torrents that the other instance.

Mayhaps OP should call that 4chan fellow for help

if you have a pixel theres absolutely no reason why you shouldnt use it.

Plenty reasons to not use it on a pixel...I had horrible compatibility with all sorts of banking apps, government 2FA and traffic warning systems, to the point where they just couldn't work at all. Their sandboxed play services breaks a shitload of day to day convenience and even necessities to increase privacy.

IDK, I've been at it for a month and have accumulated around 3.6tb, I'm pretty sure Netflix alone has way more than 43.2tb in their entire library (>17000 titles globally)...

I've done this multiple times already, it still does not populate with correct metadata. I can identify it as the correct show, but when JF rescans my library, it messes the identification up again.

First time, it was because I was a kid that couldn't pay for the movies/music/games I wanted. The high seas provided me with a solution for that.

Then I started making money and Netflix streaming came along making it both cheap and convenient. I docked my ship and forgot about my pirate life for a long time. Everything was good, living a quiet life...

But then the corporate greed caught up and ruined everything. Streaming prices became absurd, content got fragmented to way too many services and they fucking started introducing ads.

So here I am, setting sail once again. I didn't need or want this, but they have forced my hand with their infinite greed.
