No, yes, no.
There are exceptions. You’ll run into people saying that they bought an account into some tracker years ago and that was their doorway in to everything. Maybe some of those people are telling the truth.
Just get in the normal way.
Orpheus will be easier but they’re both good. Old rave tapes are easy ups.
I found a bunch of music by all those artists on just the two general music trackers, orpheus and red.
Take the time to get on one of those two either by testing in or laddering the Mya tracker and you’ll probably be glad you did.
If you want to know that the music you are interested in is on private trackers, tell me and I’ll look and report back.
I used soulseek a lot and the people who do what you do are on private trackers. I do what you do as well. I found it to be worth my time and not a hassle.
Hey if you’re putting this much effort into soulseek and you’re not already, get on one of the private music trackers.
Take this chance to switch to rtorrent.
Looks untrustworthy on the face of it. Literally web site looks like shit and has ai looking mascots all over the place.
Description of their technology relies heavily on sgx enclaves which is a red flag. Didn’t even do more than skim it.
Costs more than mullvad, needs a subscription to get the best price and doesn’t take cash. Keeps more user information than mullvad.
Doesn’t seem to do port forwarding.
Us based.
Just about the only thing that would make it worse is kape.
Why would you not just pay cash for mullvad?
If you want to make a binder then do that.
You should wrap them in foil, vacuum seal them and store them in the freezer. Those things are harder and harder to find now, especially the rarer music cdrs and plenty of stuff needs them.
Run the md5.
Of course that only tells you that you got what the author intended, not that what they intended is “safe”
I am some kind of troll.
Again, you’re making what reads like an incredibly stupid decision.
You have a computer with your name on it, the vps you set up, in a country where your actions are legal and another with your name on it in a country where you reside and your actions aren’t legal.
You connect to the vps using a protocol that authenticates your identity.
Let me just walk through the steps to prosecute you for piracy or a different crime with much more serious consequences:
Through leaky dns, a tipoff, some transformer or just the usual 24/7 isp traffic analysis someone realizes you’re doing a piracy.
They get logs from the isp and if your bad dns doesn’t give you up immediately then they see the outlier ip of the vps. ISPs always cooperate, often the special relationship between companies that are allowed to operate critical infrastructure and law enforcement is enshrined in law.
Whois points them at the vps company, whose policies may require them to get a warrant or equivalent in order to allow law enforcement into your actual running vps but will absolutely comply with kyc aligned requests and laws.
As an aside, you may think that the vps provider could stand up against the cops for you, but they’re not doing that. No one is keeping their mouth shut for $3/mo unless that’s their literal whole business model. They’ll just find new tenants.
Anyway so now they know it’s you on each end and have an airtight piracy case. If that seems like a lot of work to do through for someone whose downloading SpongeBob, it is! Piracy investigations are often not worthwhile as crimes in and of themselves.
The cops will have a strong incentive to get you on other charges, so when they search your house they’ll be looking not only for the computer with your name on it but for anything that could be misconstrued as illegal or prohibited. Hope you’re clean.
But assuming you don’t have an unregistered firearm and pile of illicit drugs next to your computer they’ll still take the computer in for a snoopin. Assuming again that nothing is found but wholesome episodes of SpongeBob on your computer they will without any doubt find your /etc/WireGuard folder with all the config files. Oh, they go to the vps you rented. Imagine that!
In America the crime of setting up a telecommunications system for the purpose of doing something illegal is prosecuted as wire fraud. It might be called different things in different countries but the basic conditions for the creation of law around those actions were about the same everywhere: big money stealin’ using new telegraph technology. The specific technology may have changed but the law inevitably didn’t, so they’ll pile the wire fraud equivalent charge onto you.
I don’t know your country but piracy is probably a low level crime there compared to wire fraud. So instead of facing a fine or a few months for downloading a soccer game now you’re facing a big monetary penalty and many years in jail for creating a system of wire fraud.
Even the often times not very smart police can figure out how to do this. You can check this out by looking in your own countries cop arrest records and see what they’re jamming people up for when it comes to computer crimes. It’s usually the local equivalent of wire fraud when they can get it because the newer, computer specific laws are harder to convict under or have more lenient penalties proscribed.
So anyway, instead of literally building an illegal crime tunnel which is a much worse crime than piracy, spend the money on air or one of the other piracy vpns. You’ll be saving yourself a lot of headache and protecting yourself much better than you did with a home built system.
I took the time to write this out much more explicitly after being told to fuck off because you’re making an incredibly stupid decision. I don’t want you to feel stupid, but I want you to recognize that you’re pursuing a more difficult path that opens you up to much more serious charges and which you are not even capable of getting up and running at the moment.
Just think on that for a second.
You can’t get your illegal crime tunnel working right and you’re asking for help with it on a public forum.
It’s good to try things for the sake of learning. I would strongly advise against trying to learn by doing illegal things and asking for help in public in the strongest possible terms.
Go get a piracy vpn service instead. It accomplishes your goals and keeps you safer than your home grown would if it were working.
That’s stupid.
You have a computer with your name on it in a country where what you’re doing is legal and you’re connecting to it using a process that authenticates with a shared secret from another computer that most likely has your name on it in a country where what you’re doing is illegal.
You’re not fooling anyone and by creating your own crime tunnel with your name on both ends of it and I’m gonna hesitate to use specific legal language to describe the new, more serious type of crime you are now committing because it’s different all over but there’s almost always a type of wire fraud that covers this because banks all tried to do it when different kinds of electronic transfers popped up.
Just use air like a normal person.
You mean the audio lessons? They’re on mya.
The supposed gnome workflow is for keyboard users to go fuck themselves.
Don’t waste time learning the gnome way of doing things, it’s not gonna remain consistent long enough to let you reap any benefits from that knowledge.
Choose a db you’re comfortable with, create structures in it that represent your files and their location in your filesystems, add more structures that represent metadata and then query it when you need to find things.
It’s what phones do.
The client saves them.
If you have a lot of crap in small files it might be time to stop depending on the directory structure to navigate and switch to a database.
Oh fuck I didn’t actually answer your question! Sorry!
You want the two major private trackers for music. They both have active communities and all kinds of groupings of releases.
You have to have the cookie for squid dot wtf first. Go there.
You have two problems, curation and piracy.
Piracy is easy, get into a few good private trackers or download from YouTube or use soulseek (carefully!).
Curation is harder and if you don’t want to do it yourself you have to make friends with people who are into the same music as you or use the tools of feed based services like Spotify to dump into your piracy rube-Goldberg contraption.
It’s worth not doing the latter because you will end up failing the Dow Jones and the Industrials test if you just stick to only what the machine gives you because it’s what you like.
Go make friends with people and enjoy music, a collaborative hallucination unique to humanity, with them.
Probably a good idea to turn off dht and pex
