Can’t wait till all the genealogy companies like 23 & me start selling our genetic information to insurance companies.
I really enjoy having Plex as my media server. It’s about the same amount of hassle as Emby, and there’s also Jellyfin which I haven’t dabbled into yet.
I believe that information and knowledge should be free anyways (at least in a perfect world), because that leads to the betterment of society. Also if you are able to use the knowledge you learn from the things you pirate I think you’ll be able to come back and support those things that got you to where you are.
Would cryptomator work for that?
Woo. I know a lot of people don't like Apple, but still a win if It ends up happening.
For me I really like using
Ublock origin
1password
Snowflake
Return Youtube Dislike
And XbrowserSync
Sometimes lego fans have some real L takes.
I really like Brave search
Would you care to elaborate? I don't really see how it would be wrong?
Yeah you've hit the nail on the head. I was merely trying to gain some perspectives outside my own. Ethics is not something for me to define at all. That being said, I've decided that I have paid for the media and as such have a right to retain full control over that media as long as I don't sell it or distribute it widely.
Just to have a discussion and get to see some of the different opinions out there.
Well I just didn't see any harm in feeling out a lot of different pirates opinions to see some different perspectives I maybe didn't think of.
Yeah I know it's not legal in my country and state, but was just trying to get a feel for different opinions on the morality of my question. For me I just like making sure the creator of the media I really enjoy get's some kind of support, that way I'm voting a little with my dollar. So far I'm really thinking I've paid for the media once and once is more than enough.
Yeah it's just for me personally I like to make sure I support the creators of the media I consume. Just what works for me.
May I ask for your reasoning?
Wanted to "aquire legitimately" a movie and from there learned more and more about how big business and big brothers all over like to invade privacy for power and profit.
I'm pretty new to torrenting as well. To answer your questions based on the personal research I've done.
You absolutely require a VPN. Definitely a paid one. The free ones are not of good quality and a lot of them are more than likely to be detrimental to your privacy. Also P2P is not a requirement for torrenting. All it does is it enables you to make more connections in the swarm and making the torrent download faster. Some good recommendations of VPN's with port forwarding I've seen thrown around are Proton VPN, Airvpn. Options without port forwarding are Mullvad, or IVPN.
I've been using 1337x for movies and TV shows and it's been great. I've also heard Torrent Galaxy is good as well. As always though be really careful with what you download no matter what. Always run a scan on files you download.
Qbittorrent is the best.
I like using Jackett as a search engine across a ton of sites. I can usually always find what I’m looking for.
