Watching windows develop has been astounding over the past decade.
There were already good tools built in but so much of the refactoring and adoption of practices and tools from other environments makes me want to use it.
It’s like a car with everything I want except it has a cvt.
Double post. Pay no mind.
It’s maybe only marginally piracy, but yt_dlp can be used to automatically scrape channels and playlists.
Useful when you watch a lot of stuff that gets taken down.
No less safe than anything else I reckon.
That’s probably a bad idea.
Not only are you going from committing a crime in private to committing a crime in public, you’re putting yourself in one of the most vulnerable positions possible when it comes to computer security (every few months there are new attacks developed specifically to target users of free public wifi).
Even if that wasnt a problem to you, businesses often have content blockers and traffic shaping to prevent you from torrenting and when they don’t you’ll be competing with everyone else actively streaming video and audio to their phones as well.
It’s also trivial to figure out who’s torrenting on public wifi and has been for years.
If you’re truly concerned about this new law then public wifi isn’t the solution.
E: and if all that doesn’t convince you and you go through with it, you’ll be causing a problem that will actively make people look for you so the wifi isn’t completely jammed up.
I tried a lot of the alternatives before switching to a vpn for torrenting.
For a long time I only used private trackers with encryption required and dht and whatnot off. It worked pretty good, especially with traffic shaping on the router.
If you really want to avoid paying money that’s where I’d start. The problem you’re gonna run into comes from how the law is used against piracy, who does it and how.
If I were gonna go that route today I’d set up doh or dot first. Both are free if you want to use mullvads servers.
Good luck.
Free vpns sell your data. It’s why they’re free. Processor cycles and bandwidth cost money so if you want someone to use their processor cycles and their bandwidth to encrypt and route your traffic through their servers without clandestinely peeking, and using lawyers and advanced security techniques to ward off the police, you gotta pay them.
In order to seed torrents you need to have a port on your vpn endpoint that is accessible to the internet and gets passed to the computer running your BitTorrent client. This is called port forwarding. There are only so many ports, so a vpn provider that offers port forwarding will probably charge more and you might not be able to get certified hood classics like :42069 because someone is already using it.
I use airvpn for torrents but depending on your European country you might not be able to. There are other port forwarding vpns. The cost is cheap, most come out to less than $5 a month.
Most let you run multiple devices at the same time so you might have your computer at home torrenting through the vpn while you’re away at work browsing porno on the toilet connected to the vpn which lets you get past the work content blockers.
So… just pay for a port forwarding vpn.
Nothing is inexpensive, fashionable and free of the garment industry’s ills.
Cheap stuff is cheap because it is made thousands at a time by people paid nothing and shipped as low weight/value containers on giant cargo ships leaking bunker fuel into the ocean as they go.
If cheap and fashionable are most important, get a secondhand pair of shoes and put in new insoles. If it’s fashionable and good you want there’s a bunch of brands targeted at avoiding the particular ill you see in the world. If it’s cheap and good, hippies will tell you who the real criminals are.
Who farted
Probably the best way is to unplug it from the charger and remove the battery.
You can’t effectively use the device while it’s not vulnerable to attack.
What kind of eavesdropping are you worried about? I ask because concern over advertising is different than concern about laser listening (a technology that was available to me in kit form as a middle school student many years ago).
It’s not reasonable to ask how to avoid all eavesdropping because without any context you quickly start wondering if you could recover from being rendered and detained for the maximum legal duration in your jurisdiction.
It’s funny, the thing that makes windows “easy” to use for big shops is the domain server and group policy. You start from the top and push everything down to client devices.
Managing a Linux shop without the redhat tools is absolute hell. A decade and a half ago the usual response to a Linux user was “you’re on your own and it’s your responsibility if a software problem impacts your productivity”.
Of course when I wax rhapsodic about how nice windows has become over the past years it’s because the ideas and capabilities of those tools for managing hundreds of users have trickled down to the individual user.
What sucks is that the user experience of windows has shifted towards that of tablets. So you get a powerful enterprise backend with key features removed and the interface of a cell phone.
Getting old ftw.
