I personally use AirVPN. I detest the software client. It’s open source at least, but it feels like it was made for Windows XP and just ported forward.

That said, it supports Wireguard, so making my rpi log into the VPN anytime it goes offline is simple. Same for my laptop and phone.

Decent rates, good ways of dealing with per-device things, easy to lend the account to people who need a VPN, and often has sales.

I have tried a seedbox before, but the bottleneck is the last mile of my home internet. I just have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ hooked onto my router via ethernet. I just log onto qBittorrent and tell it to go as I sleep, and turn it off when I wake up. The downloading is done already onto a spare laptop drive I have, and then I watch it via Jellyfin or sneakernet it over to a friend.

I won’t say a seedbox is useless, I think it’s great, but due to how my living works, it’s not great. I’ve waited several minutes for a few PNGs to download, game updates often take hours. Not even counting how the actual fucking wind slows down my internet, due to the copper wiring being on poles like electricity. And I live in a place with so many windmills due to the natural features of the land creating daily wind storms from 4 PM until 7 AM.

I really do appropriate the advice however!

My internet isnt fast enough, My average download speed for the entire place is maybe 18 MB/s, and 0.5 MB/s upload.

Torrenting helps solve the problem as I can just tell it to download in chunks and then turn it off when I need more leg room on my copper wire internet from 2003 that AT&T doesn’t change.

I have some of the slowest speeds where 4G Data is a massive upgrade, so when I need to offload some jpgs to discord or something, its faster if I just send them to my phone and upload that way.

That’s it mainly. Port forwarding improves my torrenting enough to where I get better reliability.

Wonderful software, easy payment, great rates, but lack of port forwarding is a major fallback. I understand it was due to a very minor chunk of bad actors, but that minor chunk was hosting CSAM and other horrible internet-accessible things, and no way to track what traffic is where, means they had to remove the feature for the 98% of good faith users.

But I almost refuse to use AirVPN’s software. It’s so… weird. I’m thankful they support wireguard with zero issues, so I can just use the default network manager and apps for Linux/Android, but that client interface is so backwards compared to Mullvad and iVPN.

Still miss port forwarding.

It doesn’t help Adobe has software patents for their products, so anyone who makes a similar program has to either live in a country that doesn’t recognize the “right” to claim you invented math, or be risk being sued.

“You can push Biden left when we win.”

“Okay. Hey he’s in, I want to push him left and call his racist actions and policies what they are.”

“Why do you hate America? Why are you a Russian agent?”

I live in California and I vote Democrat. I vote in primaries.

The house and stats assembly where I live in republican redneck territory. The dipshit known as Kevin McCarthy was my rep. 65+% of all votes.

I fucking hate Republicans.

You on the other hand have an anti Biden agenda. Hopefully mods of other communities catch on. Tired of calling out this bs in every thread.

Sounds like you want mods to prohibit him from posting.

So he made a promise he couldn’t keep. He didn’t try to win over the members in congress, or talk about it publicly why it’s the fault of Republicans, and not him.

That’s a cool guy. Remember when FDR just did nothing in Congress to push for Social Security? Or Minimum Wage? That was so cool of him. I especially don’t remember him making any fireside chats to the public talking about what would best for America and how you can help it.

If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.

If someone is aware of piracy and doesn’t care: “I don’t really know, I just got it off of a torrent site.”

If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don’t work for: You can ignore them.

No no you don’t understand!!! We don’t need to call out him promising things and then not even asking for it in office!! HE’S NOT TRUMP!!!

You’re a russian bot, or worker, or something, we’re the good guys, and that means blindly supporting the default option!!

Today I Learned that official statements and campaign promises from Biden are in fact now Republican propaganda. My favorite one is when Republicans made Biden said he would fight for abortion rights and queer protections.

Like mate, is calling out “Hey they didn’t even push for this once in office to the same political party” propaganda? Or is it just going “Don’t believe everything you hear from a politician, even with they are the lowest bar of ‘Not Dipshit Trump’”?

Syncthing is a god sent tool. Maybe I should use it for that if I can on my Xbox and Switch. I know I can for steam screenshots.

Almost nothing of flavor was lost.

Seriously had one pack and went “Oh, I’m never buying this again.” I wonder if that’s the entire strategy and it just now found the last sucker.

It took Nintendo years to enable Bluetooth on the switch. The same tech the pro controller and joycons use. Years. Modders had it nearly day one of opening the console.

How do I get a screenshot to my phone?

• Turn off WiFi, enable it to make a temp local wifi, scan a QR code. Then open a web page and download them.

PlayStation and Xbox:

• You can just upload them to the network you already pay for, or put them on a flash drive.

I know a decent amount of friends who use(d) Twitter to share moments and screenshots of after-game reports and random “aint this wild?” Moments.

And Splatoon on Switch got a big bonus from the memes the sharing enabled due to user generated content.

I love this recurring post. Please keep it up.

Switch and Xbox here: Xbox can do clips and screenshots, and upload to social media with one button.

It can also send all the clips and photos to an external storage device, which is what I do so it’s easy to sync clips for making edits of them for videos and jokes.

Nintendo feels so bizarre in how they handle the screenshots. “Here’s a dedicated screenshot button! Good luck sending this to anyone not on Facebook or Twitter!”

When there’s third party apps and programs to make the job of Nintendo and it’s fans easier, they fucked up.
