If someone starts his list with NordVPN you know its complete and utter bullshit

Ilandar,

That’s not how the annual Torrentfreak VPN questionnaire works.

It doesn’t work good if they act like all those providers are a considerable choice

Ilandar,

They don’t. I suspect you haven’t actually read one of these articles in detail.because it is in no way a recommendation from TorrentFreak. It literally opens with this:

The VPN review business is also flourishing as well. Just do a random search for “best VPN service” or “VPN review” and you’ll see dozens of sites filled with recommendations and preferred picks. Some VPN companies, such as Kape, even own review sites.

At TF we don’t want to make any recommendations. When it comes to privacy and anonymity, an outsider can’t offer any guarantees. Vulnerabilities are always lurking around the corner and even with the most secure VPN, you still have to trust the VPN company with your data.

Instead, we aim to provide an unranked overview of VPN providers, asking them questions we believe are important. Many of these questions relate to privacy and security, and the various companies answer them in their own words.

We hope that this helps users to make an informed choice. However, we stress that users themselves should always make sure that their VPN setup is secure, working correctly, and not leaking. Also, we advise people to properly research the company behind the VPN service.

NordVPN appears first because it is a sponsor, as is clearly stated:

*Note: Private Internet access, ExpressVPN and NordVPN are TorrentFreak sponsors. We reserve the first three spots for them as a courtesy. This article also includes a few affiliate links which help us pay the bills. We never sell positions in our review article or charge providers for a listing.

The same questions are put to every VPN provider on the list. It is unranked - whether they first or last is completely irrelevant.

Something that people need to realize: If you want a VPN for PRIVACY, Mullvad (edit: also maybe IVPN) is the only good option on this list. They make it very easy for you to maintain complete anonymity, they don’t even WANT your email address, you can use crypto, or you can literally mail them an envelope of cash with a note inside containing your unique ID and they’ll load up your account with that value. It’s ridiculous how seriously they take this stuff. And if you’re really concerned about privacy, you should also be taking extra steps like using a hardened OS and browser, and using disposable virtual machines. But I suspect that most of us here aren’t that concerned with actual privacy.

If you want a VPN for PIRACY, any of these options are probably fine as long as they don’t block or slow torrent traffic. Just use the fastest one here that you can afford. The only thing you’re really doing in this case is blocking your torrent traffic from your ISP. Remember, if you give them a credit card and your email address, then that’s not private! It’s just for piracy. It’s important to look at your priorities and pick a VPN accordingly.

Good times

uyuu, w You too can be a Cracker

Reverse engineering is honestly great fun. I’ve been doing it for like 8 years on and off but there is still so much to learn.

I recommend crackmes.one for crackme challanges to sharpen your skills.

Latecoere, w Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?
@Latecoere@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You’re surprised that most people use the free option that requires less hassle to get going?

TheOneCurly, w Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along?
@TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page avatar

I’m committed to ActivityPub. I don’t really care if the specific server backend ends up being lemmy, kbin, or something new.

Vision, w Nicotine Plus - Graphical Client For The Soulseek Peer-To-Peer Network For Music & Files

Soulseek for the most part is useless unless you want very obscure stuff. However the client looks very nice so good work.

MedicareForSome, w VPN Recommendations?

Basically 3 good choices

ProtonVPN AirVPN IVPN

Proton has a 50% off student discount bringing the price down to $5 a month for all proton services.

IVPN is probably the best but most expensive.

jjffnn,

Where do you see Proton being 50% off for students?
I can’t find anything about that.

MedicareForSome,

They don’t advertise it, just message support from your .edu email and tell them your username. They’ll apply it and let you use the STUDENT promo code. It’s 50% off the year plan so $5 a month.

Starglasses, w Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?

I’m not. What are sonarr and radarr and why do you recommend them?

stu,
@stu@lemmy.pit.ninja avatar

Sonarr and radarr manage downloads for TV and movies in a nice way for Usenet and actually torrents as well. You can set up quality profiles and choose which shows and movies you want to download and they will grab torrents/nzbs that meet your preferences, automatically start them in your torrent app or Usenet downloader, and then organize them in folders with appropriate metadata for Kodi/Plex when the downloads complete. They automate the process very nicely.

Edit, I’m a Usenet guy if that wasn’t already clear lol

Flatworm7591,

How is Usenet for privacy compared to torrents, e.g. if a usenet service you are paying for is compromised at some stage are they likely to be able to identify you based on payment data for example?

baduhai, w MEGATHREAD 2023 - Lemmy Edition

Be sure to save our Megathread for future reference without relying on Reddit.

Bit of a mute point now, isn’t it? :)

crunchpaste, w [ Question ] How do Rip the content from Streaming Sites (Ex; Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc.;
@crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If this is just for the fun of it I would try to run these services inside a virtual machine and just screen capture them. Never tried it but I don’t see a reason why it won’t work.

toxictenement, w Rats on The Boat - A BitTorrent P2P multi-platform search engine

If this had some sort of option to bind it to a network interface I’d be able to use it with my vpn. This does seem promising though.

sedawk,

Yeah I was wondering the same, like does it connect to i2p or something?

Mark_Taiwan, w Rats on The Boat - A BitTorrent P2P multi-platform search engine
@Mark_Taiwan@kbin.social avatar

Is this like a local DHT crawler? The project page is a bit vague on that front, and the architecture diagram is... not very helpful.

b42, w Fully understand if this is impossible, but is there any way to pirate/emulate switch games?

You definitely can! I'm using Yuzu on Linux with an jurassic 1050Ti and it works perfectly. I basically play Mario Kart 8 and BotW (for now, TotK in the queue) and never touched an actual Switch in person (seriously! I'm Brazilian and these things are hell expensive here).

will_iam90983402984,

yeah I get that, 300+ for something you’re using for maybe 2 games makes no sense

Gush,
@Gush@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t want to spend 400 and more just to play miitopia 😭
