most likely, yes. It’s shocking how shitty the security measures are on so many things.

There was a game a few years ago where the DRM was so insanely aggressive it wouldn’t accept a legitimate key, and it only took about 2 minutes to break the DRM

Ever wonder why big tech companies go through data-breaches constantly? but 0% of privacy friendly things ever have that problem?

That’s because your data on those privacy friendly services is encrypted with its own key so anyone who wants to break in and steal data would need to break into each account one at a time…so that’s why facebook, google and amazon have databreaches all the time. because of a combo of shitty security and social engineering

privacy friendly services don’t allow their workers to have the ability to give away the goods

two questions…

Is jellyfin used for anything other than watching pirated copies of media?

Is that a stupid question?

A library is a tax-funded service and you’re expected to return anything you check out from them.

not sure about a laser disk scan. It’s just a DVD box set that came included with the un-remastered editions in the bonus disk

I don’t support any kind of centralized control over anything. So I don’t support the EU

I like systems where you have inalienable rights from something like the US constitution, but then each town being a self-governing local community.

It’s much harder to bribe policitians when there’s significantly more of them you’d need to bribe. And it’s harder to get away with taking a bribe when everyone you’re serving knows who you are

I have copies of the second remastering box set that came included with the original un-remastered editions. What do I use to copy off those?

I’ve never paid even 1 cent to watch something online. Never paid for porn either.

I’m not about to start

I just said twice that everything works fine as long as “direct” connections can be made. if your torrenting client says that’s happening, everything is working fine

Port forwarding is a huge vulnerability. With proton it’s not as much of a vulnerability, but it still opens a lot of shit that should stay closed

whatever the case is, I’m able to seed without port forwarding

yes, seeding works too, with no port forwarding. With mullvad, it just works and with proton I have to enable “moderate NAT” sometimes, but seeding works without port forwarding, it always has

I’ve never used port forwarding. Everything works fine

open brave browser > Stack of three pancakes to go to the settings > Shields menu > “Content Filtering” > Click on “show full list” > enable “bypass paywalls clean filters” > click “update lists” > back to the shields settings > Change the “trackers and ads blocking” to “aggressive” just for good measure

Brave has a filter list you can enable that works great at bypassing paywalls on news websites

Brave

I really hope the people who made or at least the ones who maintain grayjay, invidious and piped get to work on bypassing age restriction.

I really want to the internet to go back to the way it was 15 years ago, where nothing was so insanely restricted or controlled.

I hate that all the rich elites of the world are using Orwellian novels as instruction manuals

not anymore, fiddled with it, it worked without being signed in once, now it doesn’t work

Why does youtube suck so much? only a few years ago it was so much easier to access from anything. And now it’s way more restricted

Telegram is not private or secure.

One encryption key can unlock the entire service

Next DNS works too, just be sure you store your logs in a secure place like switzerland or just don’t make any logs at all. You can also use protonVPN, Mullvad or iVPN to access any site like that through a proxy outside of the US

Do some research on which countries allow pirating movies and TV shows and try to stick to those

If your internet provider gives you the third degree about using a VPN just say that you don’t want advertising companies to be able to see what you’re doing as easily, or you can claim that when you play games online, you don’t want any of those people to see where you really are. “I need to protect myself from anyone who gets salty with me after they lose”

You can also claim that you were using the VPN to see what’s available in other countries on youtube, netflix and so on.

Not that I would ever pirate anything, that would be bad…or something.

They have to comply with Swiss laws, otherwise their business would be illegal.

Don’t be a scumbag and proton won’t ever be compelled to snitch on you
