Huge middle finger to Netflix. 40% of all of my blocked DNS queries are Netflix trackers. And the real kicker is that most were coming from TVs with Netflix installed, not even signed into my account. Take from them what you can, because they’re doing the same with you.
Its going to be okay. We all run from our feelings sometimes.
I know it’s hard, but you’ll get through this. One day at a time, step by step, things will get easier. Some days it might not feel like you’re making any progress; Some days you’ll feel like you’re moving backwards. But time heals all wounds. You’ve got this, eventually you won’t even remember their comment existed. Stay. Strong. Keep fighting.
They used a no-no word. My work typically drags people into the parking lot and ties them up until they starve if they’re caught using that word.
Off topic, but this is why I love Lemmy; Look at this comment section. Many people here have a logical stance, either for or against the genAI use. Both sides are making good points. Reading through the article alongside the comments, my opinion was really teetering. It’s nice to be able to come in with an open mind and be challenged like this.
Yeah I love current RAM prices, running a memtest right now – 75k errors and counting. I’m really excited to go buy some more, can’t wait.
Yeah in this context the port forwarding allows you to discover more clients in the P2P network. It’s by no means a requirement. Personally, I use MullvadVPN which does not support port forwarding, but I watch a lot of niche content that will have maybe one seeder at a time. I often wonder if there are peers I’m missing without port forwarding.
Also AFAIK Proton only blocks torrenting on their free plan servers, so the paid option may still be a good avenue. I think blocking torrenting on free servers is an industry standard for VPN. Is your priority affordability? It took me a long time to come around to paying for a VPN, as I hate subscription based models, but it has been well worth it.
Have you heard of or considered seedboxes? If your only use of the VPN would be for torrenting, these might be a better choice for you.
It lacks port forwarding so it’s not the fastest when it comes to torrenting. You’ll want one hosted outside of the 14 eyes, with port forwarding, hosted in a country that is not compliant with DMCA, and a strict no-log policy.
ExpressVPN or ProtonVPN paid plans will likely be best for you. But this is from memory so do your research on each to make sure the criteria hold true.
Another case of targeting piracy over a service issue. There was a time where Netflix had such a vast amount of content that my torrenting stopped all together. Good days.
Slower pixel response times from Qled. As far as I know Oled is the only modern display tech that can get close to CRT.
A good modern oled can get you within ~2ms difference from a CRT depending on how you measure. But the catch is the TV needs to have a low latency or “game” mode that shuts off the on-board video processing. My best recommendation is to browse TVs that are oled (not qled) in your price range, and check the listing for low latency or gaming modes. You should find something that fits the bill pretty quickly.
I too have seen the WearOS watch face subscription at some point. At this point, I’ve made it a personal stance to not use any subscription based models.
Thanks for this info, I’ll check it out. I use their filters with adguard home so it would be great to contribute to the ongoing cause.
