  • If your intent wasn’t racist I wouldn’t claim you are. However, you gotta read the room man. And when the room is the entirety of Reddit it’s best to snuff out a joke like this before it hits the web you know? I don’t really know anyone that this would land well with.

    I have, however, known a few people who have faced similar confusion as you are now. They ended up being neurodivergent, and it was hard for them to comprehend that even with clean intentions, some things shouldn’t be said. Please don’t take this as an insult or me being accusatory of you, I just think it might be worth looking into based on the little information I’m working with here.




  • Yeah in this context the port forwarding allows you to discover more clients in the P2P network. It’s by no means a requirement. Personally, I use MullvadVPN which does not support port forwarding, but I watch a lot of niche content that will have maybe one seeder at a time. I often wonder if there are peers I’m missing without port forwarding.

    Also AFAIK Proton only blocks torrenting on their free plan servers, so the paid option may still be a good avenue. I think blocking torrenting on free servers is an industry standard for VPN. Is your priority affordability? It took me a long time to come around to paying for a VPN, as I hate subscription based models, but it has been well worth it.

    Have you heard of or considered seedboxes? If your only use of the VPN would be for torrenting, these might be a better choice for you.

    A good modern oled can get you within ~2ms difference from a CRT depending on how you measure. But the catch is the TV needs to have a low latency or “game” mode that shuts off the on-board video processing. My best recommendation is to browse TVs that are oled (not qled) in your price range, and check the listing for low latency or gaming modes. You should find something that fits the bill pretty quickly.
