I’ve been getting haxnode’s adobe releases from torrentgalaxy. They’ve passed scans by Bitdefender without issue and function as expected.

edit: pre-activated vs w/crack probably doesn’t matter, but I’ve used the non-pre-activated w/crack releases.

mateomaui,

And it usually doesn’t work with VPNs anyway.

mateomaui,

Also, if the newest version of photoshop on torrentgalaxy isn’t as new as the version you can download direct from adobe (as a trial you can unlock to full with a product code), you usually can still use the most recent crack on TG with the direct download from adobe. (Usually, I haven’t tested lately.)

mateomaui, (edited )

Yes, I meant that while using a VPN (which is the safest and most recommended) that port forwarding doesn’t work anyway, so don’t worry about port forwarding.

mateomaui,

Well, if you’re not in a country that cares about torrenting or related legal action, torrenting without a VPN provides faster speeds since everything isn’t being encrypted, and port forwarding can allow connections that may not occur without.

My VPN service offers a private SOCKS5 proxy w/ Auth for faster torrenting without encryption, that still masks your IP from other torrenters, but I don’t use it since there’s still a risk of my ISP seeing some traffic with unencrypted headers, and sending notices. I just stick with VPN and slower speeds.

Linux Ubuntu Dual-booting horror

Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I’ve probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to...

mateomaui,

Sorry this isn’t an answer to the question, only a general reminder for whoever needs it to always create a disk image backup beforehand using Macrium Reflect or similar, so you can rollback nightmares like this.

mateomaui,

Again, sorry I cannot offer a solution. I’m sure it can be fixed, I’ve just never had to figure it out.

Virginia college students are running a thrift store for transgender and nonbinary people (www.advocate.com)

Transgender people looking to change up their wardrobes are often met with financial barriers. At a private college in Virginia, LGBTQ+ students are working to break down those walls with a no cost food and clothing pantry....

Holy shit, in Lynchburg of all places? Progress! Everyone at Liberty University must be beside themselves over it.

edit: University of Lynchburg is a

private university associated with the Christian Church

I’m stunned.

mateomaui,

No, I still need it for non-linux programs with no suitable alternative.

No, I’m not listing those for anyone to suggest inferior replacements. It’s a fact, not a debate.

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

mateomaui,

I bought my own cable modem and router for less than what my ISP would charge to rent them to me. They control nothing on my end.

mateomaui, (edited )

I can do whatever I need to.

edit: if it wasn’t clear, I didn’t buy them from my ISP, so my ISP had nothing to do with the firmware on it.

mateomaui, (edited )

Everything worth seeing can be torrented anyway. I canceled a year ago and haven’t noticed a loss of anything as long as any orders are over $35 for free shipping.

mateomaui, (edited )

Depends on whether or not they signed up for monthly or annual, and many get it in November so things they order show up in time before the xmas postal hell.

mateomaui,

Not really defending Amazon, but that’s not really shenanigans either. If you’re expecting 100% completely free shipping without prime, they’re going to wait to send it with a more cost efficient larger shipment to your region while prioritizing prime orders. Sometimes the distant warehouses are used even with prime because that’s where those items are, they don’t keep them stocked everywhere, especially when they process third party orders. I can easily expect to wait 2 weeks or more for something if I don’t pay for shipping.

After 23 years, developer reveals he snuck a cheat code past Sony that turns a cult-classic horror game into a godsend for retro enthusiasts (www.gamesradar.com)

Article about a recent revelation by the Youtube Channel Modern Vintage Gaming: The game “Alien Resurrection” by Argonaut contains a code which allows to run burned CD copies of Playstation 1 games.

mateomaui,

It’s essentially the same as using a boot cd before using a copied game, which also was a thing then.

Travel VPN Routers compared to OpenWRT Rasberry Pi (simplifiedprivacy.com)

Travel routers with VPN or Tor allow you to avoid trusting the DNS from WiFi ISPs and cell phone towers. Some even let you plugin USB modems and switch MAC addresses to help bypass WiFi captchas on multiple devices. This article compares GL.inet to a Rasberry Pi with OpenWRT, and can give you some ideas for privacy and security...

mateomaui, (edited )

I have the GL.inet Beryl router, absolutely the best addition to my travel tech. I’ve considered upgrading to a newer model for faster vpn for torrents, but this can still easily run off a 2.4v usb battery pack and handles everything reasonably.

And how has Onlyfans content somehow managed to escape being pirated

It hasn’t. Just check torrentgalaxy.

Something disturbing about Hallmark movies

I was talking with a friend today about Hallmark movies because we all seem to have at least one grandma who loves them around this time of year, and we’re hashing out the tropes they all share because they’re so formulaic that you could probably boil it down to a mad libs prompt, and something dawned on me because of one...

mateomaui,

If you read the background on the network, it shouldn’t be surprising at all.

mateomaui,

No, it’s still there. They had registrations open a couple of months ago but I missed it.

mateomaui,

sorry, I have no idea. I’ve never had an account, only used it before accounts were required, then got locked out and keep missing the open reg windows. Assuming I have the right url, it’s demonoid.is

mateomaui,

mateomaui,

While true, they are reporting findings from somewhere else

according to testing by German outlet ComputerBase

Piss Screen of Death?

edit: oh nvm, I mistakenly thought this was in reply to the suggestion for dark yellow.

mateomaui,

and bought an eight-hour ticket.

Say what now? Who needs that much even in private?
