Happy to help :) I don't use streaming sites anymore but keep them bookmarked for exactly this purpose.

Doesn't seem to be any ads (using uBlock Origin).

Movie-web.app?

Only Apple Music, and only because it's ever so slightly more convenient for me than not paying for it. Plus, I enjoy discovering new music while I'm out on a long walk.

I'd say I'm about 85% private, 15% public. I'm not in any of the top-tier trackers so there are times when I'm looking for something obscure and won't find it on my few PTs, so off to the publics I go. Last night I found a DVDRip of an 80s show on TPB that I liked better (slightly better color quality) than the single WEBDL on TL. That doesn't happen often, but it happens.

My favorite tracker is CRT. Cozy, and I love older media.

Another unsurprising shot in the foot for Twitter... certainly limiting how much users can engage with content/see sponsored posts will make more money!

What on earth is this decision? Is there even one possible benefit for this, for anybody?

I hoped this wouldn't happen but saw it coming from a mile away, honestly. I think, as OP said in another comment, we're going to see the rest of the better VPNs (an already short list - what is it now, just AirVPN and maybe Proton?) slowly take away this feature as well.

My Mullvad subscription runs out in a few days. Think I'll be using the extra monthly $5 to upgrade my seedbox plan and ditch home seeding entirely.

There's also one at !trackers@lemmy.world but it, along with the few others I've seen, are all basically dead. I also miss r/trackers. :(

Torrenting with a seedbox for me. I'm aware of Sonarr/Radarr and other automation tools but I don't feel like I have the need for them. Some part of me enjoys the manual search and management. Never touched Usenet though it's in the mental "maybe try later" bin.

I'm most looking forward to RTD's writing. I really connect with how he wrote his characters in the first four seasons and I'm really excited to see the new ideas he's got in store.

You don't actually need to log in to download anything. Scroll down on the torrent page to where it says Info Hash. Copy and paste that string of characters into your torrent client where magnet links go and it functions just like a magnet.

Seedbox user here, can confirm, lol.
