My props to the boys in Romania, then.

…I never used port forwarding with them and it just kinda works?

I pirate almost exclusively over Qbittorrent.

there’s just gotta be a leak somewhere, that ain’t normal…

If Mullvad is off, and I download a Pixar film, I will get a letter. I have.

If it isn’t, I won’t. I don’t.

shrug port forward or no port forward, the data still flows and my ISP can’t see it.

I’m just lazy.

I can’t be bothered to wonder whether or not your specific flavor of piracy is tracking me or not, and I don’t really care to know.

VPN and just don’t worry about it.

If I hear my provider turned to shit, I move providers. Mullvad rn.

I feel like stability has a different definition for some of us Linux users.

Stability to me as a Linux user is a non-issue. I have so many backup and snapshot solutions to a point that any problem isn’t even a threat. I don’t consider what if’s because I can just walk around anything, even if the entire boot drive corrupts.

Also, what do you mean by stable? The OS? The entire system under heavy graphical load?

Some more, some less as far as Linux goes, but if we’re comparing Windows to a peer like… KDE?

Yeah, they’re about just as buggy.

Does Linux have an issue in that the bugginess is almost directly tied to the experience level of the end user? …Yeah, but at that level, it just means no problem is impassable, you just don’t know what you’re doing. 😬

I can visualize the first level of doom, every room, enemy… and play through it.

Mine even has mods, I visualized Peter Griffin flossin’ in the secret shotgun area.

Do I win?

Elon: you mean… customer?

They bought it…

Not my problem if someone doesn’t read the tiniest bit about a $600+ product before purchase.

Bigot: “Well, if you insist…”

Haven’t played my Dreamcast in a while…

Oh, I’m not defending them. I have no sense of software loyalty. They aren’t the only ftp game in town by a longshot.

I’ve only ever used it to move files to and from… yeah, hacked consoles.

If they can make off with my gold before sunset with that information, more power to them.

Jdownloader2.

Everyone has that one asshole friend. He’s ours.

…syncthing?

Here’s the short and sweet.

SoulSeek - an ancient p2p filesharing system that… For some reason, copyright companies don’t care about, but until they do, there it is and it’s awesome.

Funkwhale - federated dudes all sharing music together, yeah, some of it is copyrighted because of course it is, also an audio server so you get that too.

Jellyfin - Great and modern. Makes a good music server by itself. Only reason it really wins over subsonic and the like is support and upkeep. A lot of subsonic apps are dead.

Plex - Jellyfin (but with corporate overlords)

Find music on SoulSeek, host on Jellyfin, Funkwhale or whatever *sonic fork is still updated, ???, profit is basically the game. Some people also find utility with apps that strip music directly from Tidal and Spotify. Your mileage may vary.

Santa is pagan, they put that dude on cereal boxes.

No, it’s what I can put back rn barring photosynthesis so I wouldn’t have to buy food.

I’m working on it.

1. Samba (I can move files now, sweet!)

2. Jellyfin (I can watch stuff, sweet!)

3. Qbittorrent-wireguard (for pirating copyrighted material from the internet illegally)

4. Somesuch Wireguard solution (for accessing the backend and doin stuff)

5. A proxy somewhere else

The rest is extra. This gets my usual goals completed pretty well.

Pepsi or Coke?

Yes.

Honestly, I’ve used both. Tailscale edges out headscale by a tiny bit just because of the admin console’s GUI but other than that, yeah.

Was it implied that I was in dire straits because I was streaming?

His statement was pretty general. It’s hard out there to save money, even if you aren’t streaming.
