I have a seedbox and have been using private trackers for well over a decade. I seed forever, or until I need space.

When I cannot find something on one of my private trackers I do look on public trackers. I find the experience lacking.

My issues with public trackers:

1. Search sites are sketchy af. Between pop up ads and fake direct download links, it can be challenging to find whatever you are looking for.

2. Files can be poorly tagged or completely named wrong. The number of times I have downloaded not porn only to find porn can be counted on one hand, mostly because the other hand is busy.

Anyway, I will gladly seed until the end of time if a public torrent search site exists that can get me the content I want without making me need a shower after.

That is my solution as well for now. I bet TVs will start to come with cellular chips soon though.

Does anyone make a living room sized Faraday cage?

I got a little suspicious when they stopped using “Don’t be evil”.

No, the treasury fingered China. I knew a girl named China once and that tracks. Still not sure how mum was involved though.

Same energy.

I mainly game on Xbox but run Linux exclusively on my PC. I am considering cancelling my Xbox Gamepass Ultimate sub but my kids also use it. That’s a tough one.

This vision of the AI making everything easier always leaves out the part where nobody has a job as a result.

Sure you can relax on a beach, you have all the time in the world now that you are unemployed. The disconnect is mind boggling.

You can start with Tkinter since it’s a standard python library. Here’s a tutorial to get you started.

I also considered this. My thought was to outline a few reasons, with receipts, as to why I have left Reddit. I would also mention Lemmy as an alternative.

Aye. That is probably true.

Yeah. I was thinking I would have to do this manually.

Ugh. Doing it once would be a task for my main account.

This is probably true. Also, I think I would have to do this manually and I am lazy so there is that.

For day to day use I generally grab anything that I am interested in and leave it seeding indefinitely, or until I need to prune to free up some space.

If I need to boost ratio I grab something that is new and hot to seed for a bit. In general though, I try to seed things that have lower seeder counts so that they remain available. Many times these are not things that I am really interested in.

If you are not using any private trackers then I suggest you get on one and just be active. If there is a particular thing you are interested in then there is probably a tracker for it.

I also seed Linux ISOs but those are public so it doesn’t help when it comes to ratio or anything. It’s just a thing that I do because I can.

I tried for a long time to find reliable sources for the races and kept hitting a wall. Any sources I did find didn’t last or were unreliable. I eventually gave up looking.

I finally bought F1 TV Pro and don’t regret it one bit. The stream quality is great and being able to switch cameras whenever I want is a huge feature. The value added features are why I will continue to pay for it.

Yeah. I tried to grab the binaries which are on GitHub of course.

I went to the releases page which links to GitHub. I will clone the repo instead.

Already taken down. I tried to grab a copy but wasn’t fast enough.

Yup. They will use the fact that a user said they pirated a movie as a starting point. If Reddit capitulated and handed over the user info that could be used to hunt for more evidence and possibly connect them to other pirates. It would open a juicy can of worms for these bottom feeders. Good on Reddit for standing up for their users.

This is what I’m thinking. This is just a case of them seeing how far they can take it. Once precedent is set they can start to litigate based on a user merely mentioning that they pirated a movie.
