Its time to share the wiki and get your friends on board the ship as we set sail. We all have to rally together to stop the neverending subscription model.
Give them this map; its all the booty they need: https://rentry.co/megathread
Is this a screenshot from a porn video?
Weird isn't it? I don't recognise either of them, I'm pretty sure I've never seen that one, everyone appears clothed, yet it just has porn vibes.
It came from an advert advertising a porn video. I liked the scroll he was holding.
Probably why I've never seen it. I live ad free as much as possible.
Upvote this man immediately.
Unknown actors, some weird bunk bed on the side, some power dynamic going on with the guy, low-quality set design, looks like they spent more on the girl's makeup than anything else in the shot.
Oh fuck put it back
The first line in the megathread is silly
Instead of installing firefox and setting up.. Just install Librewolf. A firefox fork with UO built in, and all the privacy settings activated by default. Even the hidden ones.
And yes is still supports FF sync etc.
By default it clears cache etc when you close it. It can be annoying for some users.
Firefox > Any fork. You can set up Firefox exactly like any fork you like but still get same day updates and security patches.
We should have a section on the mega thread on how to setup Firefox. I would guess I don't understand >70% of the options in the settins.
Information on wikis can get out of date if nobody updates it. Probably just needs someone to refresh it a bit.
Mullvad no longer supports port forwarding and isn't really used by anyone in the torrenting community any longer. Most of those users have moved over to IVPN or AirVPN.
I've been using it for torrenting for ages. What's this about port forwarding?
Port forwarding allows you to connect to DHT/PeX swarms and helps saturate your client with connections. In practice, it allows for faster speeds as more connections are established.
I literally did not know this. I haven't had any kind of issues so I'm not going to worry about it, but it's something that I would have considered during initial setup.
I'm glad this community exists. I'm a very lazy pirate so having all this info in a easy to find list is great. Thanks everyone!
is PIA still a decent VPN? What about torrent clients? I used to use an older version of uTorrent but now I'm on Kubuntu and it has a built in torrent client.
Go with mullvad
They dont even have hard drives. They use ram only now. Which is quite funny

PIA is owned by Kape Technologies., a dodgy company, founded by a member is Israel’s Intelligence Devision. They’re known to spread malware, steal users data, and redirect traffic to advertisers. That being said, PIA claims that despite being owned by Kape, they remain in control of their day-to-day operations. I haven’t heard of any major issues, since the acquisition. Kape also seems to like the profitability of their (several) VPNs.
Up to you if you trust them with your data. Personally, I do not.
If only there were a handy resource that covers this....
PIA is pretty shady. I'm only still using them because I paid for multiple years of service and while they're a bad choice for privacy, it does the job of not making my ISP angy.
I signed up for a lifetime price of PIA because it was very cheap and have been using it ever since, but recently I noticed they doubled the charge out of the blue on me with no notice.
How do I decouple my overleaf account from my google account?
same here. I think I have 2 more years of service
