they sue you for a portion of your future savings, because you single-handedly responsible for their imaginary loss of profits, judge agrees.
free tier vpns are good enough. But the competition amongst “no log” vpns is pretty fierce. People say you can only trust 3 specific vpns who would rather shut down than spy for a government, but if you’re just downloading movies then you can expand your choices.
the point of the vpn is to hide your ip address. Self hosting in your home defeats purpose. The best free option is using I2P for torrenting.
Wait till December for all the Christmas discounts. An annual bundle works out to $2-4 a month.
The costly miss could extend beyond Warner Bros. and “further deter investment in gaming by traditional media firms when they should be expanding,” said Joost van Dreunen, who teaches the video-game business at New York University.
Yes please. You monetizing Wall Street bros can go ruin something else. Like your favorite political party.
lol, you’re not uploading the torrent faithfully. A recheck of the torrent by any client would show that they’re not getting what the torrent says they should get.
The pikachu face is capitalism working as intended, instead of the corrupt capitalism they’re used to with regions of the world carved up/tariffs/government buying the product if you’re having a bad year.
BitTorrent has a re-check upon torrent completion option in settings. I reason not to validate that everything is correct and matches what the torrent says you should have.
Super easy to get a napkin idea started. Then it picks up steam and suddenly it’s a million lines of code, with hundreds of users. And now it’s a big headache to migrate when shit just works as is in GitHub.
Development of games requires resources. More resources trends with better games (coin flip). If every player pays, the game development gets the best possible quality. And artists get to keep their electricity bill paid for the week.
Denuvo argues that their product guarantees the most resource extraction possible. This is debatable, and I personally lean on the side that it’s not as effective for revenue collection as advertised.
There are a lot of interesting comments there as well for those who are interested.
The comment I liked best is:
There isn't one. The purely decentralized model of eMule and gnutella and similar systems has proven to perform poorly compared to the bittorrent/tracker model, for searches in particular. You can almost completely avoid trackers with DHT and magnet links, the tracker pages just "advertise" the torrent.
If you want alternatives, the main one with significant traffic is Freenet. Freenet is really slow and mostly CP (because everyone else is using torrents).
retroshare, which is more for private sharing, has already been mentioned.
My own opinion? Torrents require minimal resources from users other than sharing the specific file. Advertising the file, tracking the file, searching for the file can be passed on resource wise to a trusted person who wants Internet karma. The simple statement: have a ratio of 1.0 can resonate with most 🦍.
Bemoaning the unpopularity of eMule seems to me like another case of programmers ignoring what makes humans tick.
No no, my Christian fan fiction says the Founders were really thinking about the Jesus when they were writing that part, so it cancels out.
