CatZoomies, (edited ) to piracy in What VPN do you use and why?
@CatZoomies@lemmy.world avatar

While people sometimes suggest ignoring it because they say that your ISP is only sending you those notices because the laws compel them to and you downloaded something that was tracked, you may want to evaluate your risk.

Nothing has happened so far. Could something happen in the future?

Your ISP has built an entire portfolio of the things you’ve done online and which content you pirated. Who know how long your ISP retains that data, or which companies or regulatory bodies it shares this data with?

Laws may change.

Up to you on what you want to do with this information.

CatZoomies, to piracy in Do you utilize a dedicated AV like Bitdefender when sailing? Or do you still trust Windows Defender to take care of the higher risk while doing this?

I set my VPN to Russia. Russian viruses are known to not infect their homeland, by design. They promised they wouldn’t, so you know it’s good. I then run the program, and sometimes my CPU starts heating up and slowing down my computer a bit. It happens anytime I turn on my computer now that I think about it. Computer is always running slow. I guess that’s the CPU checking if the viruses are Russian and then rejecting their requests. I can verify this because when I open Task Manager, I don’t see anything showing high CPU usage. It’s probably my imagination since the thing is doing what it’s supposed to be doing and stopping the viruses.

Only downside is I occasionally get a random command prompt pop up that disappears immediately before I can read it. Plus, my identity has been stolen several times and I’ve had to get ahold of Macrosoft Support (they built Windows so I trust them) and buy their premium $500 virus total scam defender package that I pay for monthly, but I don’t think those are related.

The Lord of the Rings. I get goosebumps every time.

Reply with your favorite moment. There’s lots of them in the trilogy.

I really enjoyed this movie very much. I walked into it without knowing anything about it, and it was much better than I thought it’d be.

This isn’t an “all hope is lost” moment in the movies, but I have to bring it up anyway.

Aragorn bursts into the throne room, “The beacons have been lit! Gondor calls for aid.”

Commence 30 seconds of silent anticipation.

Théoden, King of Rohan: “And Rohan will answer.”

Hell yeah!

Hell yes. I remember watching that during the premiere in theaters many years ago, and it was so emotional and powerful. Fucking love these movies so much.

Such a masterpiece comedy. My favorite part of that O.J. Simpson scene is while getting shot multiple times and injured, he gets paint on his jacket and says “Oh no”. So silly, but I love it.

Definitely delicious, I love that cereal. I also started getting into Cinnamon Cheerios Crunch or whatever it’s called. really tasty. I guess I just love cinnamon.

You know what else I love? Decentralization.
