What's the deal with the private trackers?

I’ve read on reddit I think that if you are torrenting using a private tracker you’re gonna be fine even without VPN. The question is: isn’t the tracker is just a server that leads my torrent client to the pieces of the file on the seeders? And the connection between me and the seeders is p2p, isn’t that type of...

Yeah, I have a 4G CGNAT router, so I’m not only constantly hopping IP’s, I’m even sharing outside IPs with others simultaneously. I rarely see other torrents than mine, though it does happen. I honestly also had the bad content flag once for a file I certainly wouldn’t download. 😅

Just a fun FYI: If you want to know what can be seen torrenting from your current IP, visit iknowwhatyoudownload.com

It wil show you anything publicly trackable and occasionally assign tags according to your habits. You can also check anybody else’s IP you know of too, and look at what your IP-neighbors have on their name,…

Tags I’ve seen assigned are mostly ‘Porn’ if you torrent at least 1 known xxx and I even encountered a highlighted differently-colored tag twice in neigboring IP’s that clearly state it’s questionable content of subjects that did not go through the accepted minimum amount of birthdays yet.

Always an interesting tool to check when connected to a friend’s wifi or a public shared one… 😅

Hollywood to UK Govt: Investigating Pirates "Increasingly Difficult" * TorrentFreak (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Summary: A recent UK government inquiry into the challenges faced by the film and high-end television industry has recently received submissions from major Hollywood studios advocating for KYC (know your customer) rules for hosting providers, similar to banking regulations to identify money laundering. If adopted, this would...

I find it weird how “Hey, I want you to listen/watch to what I made.” transformed into “Hey, you can only listen/watch if you paid for it.”

Guess I won’t then…

Recycling isn’t forever either, though…

I could be wrong, but I read somewhere you can only recycle plastic twice before it becomes unmanageable, and after recycling for over a decade we’ve currently reached the last stage of recycled plastic made of already recycled-before plastic, which would then mean that all those twice recycled plastics going around as drink bottles and alike now have reverted back to their original state and problem: They are back to being non-recycleable waste. 😅

Hahaha, I can totally relate to such moments! 😅

I kinda like your interpretation better than what it’s supposed to mean, though. 😂

I haven’t really played it in a while, but last time I did, gameplay still prevented that. You were able to buy way too many of some things you are limited in using anyway, but things that would give you a boost in mass weren’t for sale. Only thing you can buy yourself out of is maybe 1/4th of the reasons to go outside, but you can’t really play without the other 3/4th, and I have never paid, nor been beaten by somebody that did…

Anyway, all that was at least 3 years ago, so I’m not vouching for any possible changes to the contrary right now…

But It would amaze me if they did make it pay to win now, though. Niantic was always very strict in fair gameplay when it came to Ingress…

I can do that and like I said, I never paid nothing. I didn’t hoard, but as a longtime player you got stronger. So it’s not pay to win, it’s still play to win…

No offense, but your conclussion doesn’t fit your description. You’re angry you can’t win against someone that you say might have been hoarding stuff (or is maybe doing the work for getting it daily as I used to do…) I could literally bring down Level 8’s since I was Level 5, and they stood no chance if I had been scavanging with Ingress all day first and they didn’t, yet catch me after one of those as a second player and you might win easily until I restock… That’s gameplay, not paygame. 😅

And the fact any player on his own can only max build level 5 portals and you need 3 other people at level 8 at least to make a Level 8 portal kinda stops pay to play. On your own you stand no chance against a group… So if your entire city is just 1 guy, the portals can’t be over level 5, if they are he has help.

Either way, when you attack portals, you should go stand on the Resonators, not the center of them, and when placing resonators you need to be as far as your circle allows you to stand from the portal, so they spread further apart and aren’t as easily destroyed by someone bursting in 1 spot.

Y’all should try Ingress. 😅 Doesn’t really have fog of war, but you do get to visit art in search of portals for portal-keys. 😜

It’s the company that made Pokemon Go’s more-serious first app that came out years before P-Go did, as one of the first of its kind, though it only got interest from the more niche communities. I played it until G+ got slaughtered, as it was the main base of communications and Ingress communities.

If they didn’t just breath oxygen and give off CO² at night, maybe, but trees actually undo much of their oxygen creation overnight… 😅

@doctorn@r.nf avatar

It’s been proven that humans didn’t actually get most of their fresh air from the rainforest, but actually from millions of these algea in the sea… Which is actually more logical, since trees do the opposite at night, kinda undoing any advantage they made during the day… Hence why it’s said you should never put a decorative small tree or even plants in the bedroom as they can take away oxygen levels in closed rooms at night. It’s even said not to sleep under trees outside at night cause it can cause respiratory problems.

Yeah, I used to spoof Chrome a long time for recaptcha’s too. Unknown or competition browsers used to often get failed the first try whatever you chose, while spoofing chrome just got the green tag without images. It’s become less obvious these days, but I wouldn’t be amazed “using” Chrome still gives you more “trust”.

Yeah, I’ve even been known to move my phone (off of a junk-basket, nb) to check if my phone wasn’t under it… Took me way too long before I realized that… Kinda reminds me of this: 😅

Ngl, every time I go look for it out of need I totally expect it to be long gone. I might physically look at it every time I open my wallet, but it became so much part of the ‘background’ that I never actually see it at those times. 😅

Sure, but with free alternative s in piracy, then paying for it again (however little) is taking steps direction streamingservices…

Why would one pay for pirated stuff (to people that didn’t even do any effort in creating the content or even in doing the pirating, nb), while it’s also freely available through different means that are just as easy and capable of being automated? 🤔

Anyway, the above is not arguing , the above is a genuine question.

Yeah, but unlike 20 years ago where it just came with email accounts, Newsgroups/Usenet aren’t/isn’t free anymore, right? Well, you have some free ones still, but they are filtered for piracy and alike, so rather unusable.

So, do you happen to know any free ones with everything still available or do you just pay for Usenet? If the latter, I don’t really see the difference with streamingservices (other than maybe having the file locally, but torrent does that for free too) and it takes away the whole reason of pirating stuff if you’re still gonna pay for it, imho. If the first though: Please share! 😅

I dunno, my torrents are never corrupted or missing either abd download full speed for free. I see everything I want minutes after it airs, with FileBot sutomatically sorting everything for free all I need to do is open Kodi on my AndroidTV and select what I want to watch…

I see no need or afvantage of changing that to anything that costs me money to get the exact same result… 🤷‍♂️

I think it’s just peopke that did pay justifying themselves to themselves after the fact. There is no real advantage at all…

😂 Seriously though, nice pic, but not the place and sad about the (what I can only assume is an) ad-forwarder link or whatever… I used to boldly check them out anyway, but I’ve learned not to the hard way by now. 😅
