phorq,

Sharing is caring, and that includes data… unless it’s personal data.

phorq,

You can glue your own tail, there are instructions in the guide for proper configuration and cleaning.

phorq,

Well, it’s grilled cheese. You can remove the cheese yourself, see what I care.

phorq,

As an arch user, I’m confused… Doesn’t everyone use curl as their browser?

phorq,

I need to overwrite windows because currently I’m just considering my laptop unusable until I bother to fix grub after that…

phorq,

Cats don’t care about political and economic ideologies… pay no attention to Egypt.

Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...

phorq,

Yup, and when most people are a certain way, odds are you are too. I try to keep an open mind as much as possible because it’s very hard to identify your own biases and it would be naive to believe that I am the exception to human nature.

phorq, (edited )

I don’t see what you did there.

Edit: now I do…

phorq,

Lemmy.ml is pregnant and lemmy.world is not the father!..

Am I doing internet drama right?

phorq,

I added the word “reported” because I don’t trust VPN providers to not keep logs, but ideally they should report that they don’t keep logs and have an established history of not providing logs. Tor is really not ideal if you’re trying to download anything large and you’re still vulnerable depending on who controls the exit nodes.

phorq,

I was trying to give general advice, since it didn’t sound like they had a trusted private tracker already it’s a good idea to have a VPN to mask your IP. I agree, it probably won’t help against malware.

phorq,

Simple, trust no one. Get a no-reported-logs VPN, don’t download anything that has a strange file size or extension, look at comments, look at the number of seeders if it’s a torrent. If you can, join something like a private tracker where there’s moderation too. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s probably not the movie you were looking for and there might be a Trojan army inside waiting for you to let the duck enter your computer… That metaphor may have fallen apart on me…

phorq,

Just don’t spend too long with the companion nissan cube or I might get jealous…

phorq,

Pretty sure my comment is visible, but please let me know otherwise (airtight plan over here…)

phorq,

Throw the atoms against the wall and if they stick it confirms spaghetti theory is ready.

phorq, (edited )

That’s the basis for Alex Melton’s whole YouTube channel and I’m here for it.

phorq,

It’s like that song from Rent: 8008135 minutes

phorq,

Yeah, but you’re gonna be competing with all the fastest seeders with popular torrents on private trackers from my experience so you probably won’t get much of any upload credit until the hype dies down. If you need the credit and have the file already somehow I would even suggest bringing a torrent back from the dead that has a leecher or two trying to download.

phorq,

Why are you trying to mass seed popular torrents? You’ll just wind up splitting your bandwidth per torrent so much that people will go to other seeders. If you do less popular torrents you may get less activity but you’ll seed a higher percentage each time and probably be doing more of a service.

phorq, (edited )

More like H.G. Well-that’s-my-cue-to-leave…

phorq,

“Everybody, here comes the plane, out of the water because I’m gonna need 30 minutes to digest…”

phorq,

He’s naked, in an empty room, and smiling when he shouldn’t be… Yup, nothing left to lose.

phorq,

Sure, anyone can outsmart the FBI. Too bad the IRS has been tracking you since you failed to pay sales tax on the cardboard…
