You would reuse the same password or use the same password with slight variations. I would also often see passwords written down on sticky notes. People sometimes has different passwords but stores them unencrypted in password.xls or something similarly named.
Thank God for password managers these days. I haven't refused the same password for many years now. I generate three random words with a number and special character for all my passwords.
Appreciate the well thought out reply. I came to Lemmy for good discussion like this. It makes me happy to know that people with suffering points can still have a conversation on the internet without turning into a flame war or downvoted brigade. Appreciate you.
I would just keep my PC on 24/7. Did that for a good decade before I built a server. Now the ARR stacks make torrenting on private sites effortless.
This is one of the main reasons Republicans don't like education. They want to dismantle it and go to a charter system. That way they can profit off education and keep people stupid.
Running qBittorrent over web UI was a game changer. I was running it off a personal PC for the longest time (usually my newest gaming machine) but finally built a dedicated server.
Having a small community is a blessing and a curse. Reddit grew too large of a user base, and the quality of interactions took a significant decline around 2015 or so. I'm hoping Lemmy (and federation in general) can bring back what I found special about Reddit around 2009-2010.
I see some of the issues that Reddit has (one-word or low-effort comments, people not reading the article, atrocious grammar/spelling), but it doesn't seem to be the norm. I've been visiting Lemmy for around a year but have finally decided to stop using Reddit and become active over here.
Is every person being sent back a rapist of a 12 year old or are people getting caught up on the system? Either way, I'm all for sending the rapist to prison at our expensive. I don't want to send them back to Afghanistan where they certainly will have no repurcuasions for raping a 12 year old girl. I think rape isn't okay anywhere in the world. I dont support sending immigrants back, because I don't support rape.
The need this came out of COVID and a lack of people wanting to go out. It's was a decent way to keep business open who would otherwise have to lay off all their staff. Once COVID ended, I assumed it would go away. However, money talks.
My wife was just saying how she thiks GPS is soon going to have a VIP tier to give you the best routes and the longer routes go to the people who don't pay (but still have their data harvested).
Lots of leechers and decent amount of seeders. Content is decent for a general tracker. It's a mix of scene and p2p releases. Moderation of uploads was an issue initially but doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. You could do more much worse and this is a great spot for anyone looking to enter into the private tracker world.
Biggest negative is that it is pay to leech. I get that they need to pay the server bills but they go real hard asking for donations. Also, the sys op had it out on Reddit a few months (maybe a year) back. Not sure what came of it or why, but it definitely caused a stir.
I don't think their core values necessarily align with mine when it comes to piracy. Pay to leech is only found on low-mid tier trackers for a reason. It brings bad user and keeps away the advanced users.
It would be betterest if we could organize this on a large coordinated scale. God help any AI that has been trained on any social media website. It's just not good quality data a large percentage of the time.
It's state sponsored capitalism and China has pumped a ton of money into BYD to get them to where they are.
I can see them giving larger tax breaks to companies in the US, but current administration is all in on tariffs as the way to increase our domestic production. It doesn't make ours any better or cheaper, just everything else more expensive.
I think it's the older way around. There are really only 3 or 4 countries where using a VPN to pirate is needed. I'm just willing to bet you live in one of those countries.
