T480 and upgrade ram, storage and wireless nic.

open the files without them having any chance of interent conention and cant see other files Use a VM and don’t give it internet connectivity.

I use Tuta because Proton has grown too big for my taste. What do you mean it doesn’t work with Tor? Tor is supposed to be your network layer foundation of your connection and shouldn’t have to do with what applications you run on top of it. And just to clarify: Simple Login is not an e-mail provider. It’s an e-mail alias provider.

Yeah, to be fair, I mostly pirate video. Music, I listen to from Tidal through USB Audio Player (Android). I only ever grab audio that’s not available on Tidal.

What video file sizes do you guys download and why? I don’t know about sizes, but I stick to 1080p remuxes, because I have brain damage that makes my anus itch just by knowing if and when the video has been re-encoded to save space. Also the blacks. :)

And what is the correlation between video size and quality?
The only correlation might be the size to objective quality, which isn’t what you as a consumer is after anyway, unless you’re a data hoarder or the likes. You’re after the subjective quality: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_quality

Who are y’alls downloading 20+GB movies? Are you storing all that or are you downmixing? Are you stealing your harddrives out of the recycle bin? Nope, I’m just lucky to have an extremely narrow field of interest (no, it’s not Human Centipede). I’m financially hard locked to the 15TB that I spent four years aggregating before LLM data centers f*cked us.

I don’t know all this fancy stuff. Like, yesterday, I wanted to listen to the songs from the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya so I grabbed them from nyaa, moved them from the “Downloads” directory to the “Music” directory and then played it with VLC.🤷‍♀️

If you’re only talking about the download process, and you are downloading at home, then a trustworthy VPN is the (only?) way to go. I’d look into Mullvad or IVPN.

If you are also talking about other processes surrounding downloading, such as registration, creating accounts, communicating with people over the Internet, use fake names ( https://www.scifiideas.com/cyberpunk-name-generator/ ), e-mail aliases ( https://simplelogin.io/ ) and respectable DNS providers ( https://quad9.net/ ).

F*ck that’s on me. I took a break from gaming to focus on other projects + the occasional GBA SP.

No doubt! It’s on my TODO. 🫡

Thanks!

I see! Thanks! Still wonder why the module was/is absent in Artix. 🤔

If your Debian’s process manager is systemd, then

sudo journalctl -f -e -u tor@default  

Also, if I’m not mistaken, your speed can never be faster than the next node that you are connected to. Unless you are running an exit node, that is.

Right! One of the rear ports, which nobody ever looks at. Although, if I’m going to script, I’m not going to become one of those copy-paste script kiddies. I’m going to LEARN it until I know it by heart and then PROGRAM the shit out of it.🤣

In this economy? Better to buy a house.

Now we’re talking. I have a few… candidates. Except, unless they leave their card in the computer, I can’t access their login. Hm… and IT records all activity. HMMM…

Normally I would get turned on by that, but I’m trying to be a nice person.

In theory I agree, but other than buying the original executable from a reputable vendor, I have no way of verifying the integrity and authenticity of the EXE.

Holy crap, I had no idea! Cool!

The one positive is a malicious.high.ml.score by Trapmine and I can’t makes heads or tails of it.

None of these sub categories under Relations give any positives.

If this passes, I wonder if any Linux distros will be affected and how, considering the above excerpt.

I see. Well, scratch that then. 😅 Thanks! 🥰
