There are legitimate versions of windows that are hard to get as a non enterprise consumer. Such as some of the IOT versions that have much longer security support.

My problem with these lists is they never provide any sort of evidence as to why these suggestions should be trusted. No discernable criteria that a suggestion in a category has to meet, no evidence the site fact checks its suggestions.
The bar for torrenting is super low. If all you want to do is avoid DMCA notices pretty much any VPN will do as long as you bind it to your torrent client.
In terms of Windscribe they have become a much more respectable VPN if you also want some privacy protections and DNS protections but there are better options.
They used to be a bottom dweller VPN selling off lifetime memberships for $30 in the mid 2000s but have really become a strong privacy advocate over the last few years.
Something can be shady and not a honeypot. It’s much more common. Its like people forgot this and now anytime anyone feels something is sus this type of post appears.
I was in middle school and I saw my friend had all the episodes of ATHF (aqua teen hunger force) and I wanted to be able to get free episodes of stuff. Silly but true.
You can therefore blame the mooninites for my piracy.
I use an optiplex for torrenting, Plex media server, and real debrid. The VPN is always on so I wouldn’t be concerned to use it as my daily driver but it’s a bit old to handle other tasks in use my daily driver for.
This. There really is no point in installing something like tinywall, when there is a built in firewall that has more functionality (granted its much less user friendly).
Meanwhile ryujinx be like “nothing to see here”
The irony in not being able to pirate a game from the publishers of “Rise of Piracy”
I generally would recommend staying away from third party modified versions of Windows. This would be especially true for OP as you seem to be a relatively inexperienced user.
Usually the security risk isnt worth whatever they offer and most of the time any features they offer could usually be accomplished within standard Windows.
Yeah i should of specified. For me, specifically, i use windows but if people want to add links to other OS im sure someone would appreciate it.
This on reddit ended up being super helpful for my needs.
What do you mean by premium? Not sure tpb was ever a “premium” torrent site.
If your just looking for other torrent sites to use, check the megathread.
I would add increasing the UAC or just not using an admin account, if your on windows, is also a very effective way to keep yourself safe as it will prevent a lot of malicious programs from automatically elevating their permissions.
Educational piracy is even more justified. Knowledge should never be paywalled.
I think plex + real debrid is also a pretty easy option. Auto downloads anything you add to your watchlist, unlimited storage.
Start with some of the easier to get into semi-private trackers such as MAM (books / audiobooks) and TorrentLeech (general) to build up some history. I can send you an invite to TL if ya need one just DM me.
You could also study the rules and join RED (music) but their wait times to actually interview are ridiculous. Its much easier to get into Orpheus which shares a lot of the same users, who are happy to upload on both.
Some of these have forums that you can use to get access to invites to more exclusive trackers.
Tldr; “I dont like how people use a term so i am going to make up a whole new definiton”
Passive resistance is a large part of civil disobedience. Civil disobedience does not need to be public.
I do agree with op, that downloading a movie to watch is not civil disobedience.
Its dead. Another project based on it source code might arise but it won’t be the same team and will take a while before it would be smart to trust the new project.
My guess is the most recent version of Yuzu, as a stand alone, will probably work for a long time anyway. So i guess there is that…
Yeah hard to say. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ryujinx gets hit next. It looks like the source code for Yuzu is, at the very least, saved on the wayback machine, so my guess is a fork will eventually pop up.
Do this all the time with video games. Pirate to try before I buy. If I really like the game I buy it in the hopes it creates an incentive to make more games like the ones I like.
