That’s the problem with using a VPN ‘everywhere’ as some people say. I quickly became sick of being captchaed to death, so only for torrenting now.
My code misses Dunkin as much as I do apparently.

Missed you but are there any other self-hosted or similar communities in the area?
Steak and eggs at a breakfast spot near me is $20 (plus tip). To add insult, it’s a “touristy” one, so while the food is good, they definitely up-charge a bit, say $1-2, on most things vs places off the beaten path.
So….why am I buying a ‘meal deal’ for $13-15 at McDonalds again? I might as well go and fork out a few more bucks for table service and better food at that price point.
Dynamic pricing inbound.
The charging for packets thing is the one thing that irks me nonstop especially the employees that stick by it. Unless they’re getting penalized, why do you have to gatekeep an extra BBQ sauce for 25 cents?
Sure, keep them behind the counter so people don’t grab 20 but asking for 1-2 extra shouldn’t require a surcharge or separate transaction.
The one who’s gonna give it to ya.
I’m surprised that more people don’t know not to FAFO involving Target. When a company has a lab that’s sophisticated enough where LEOs ask for assistance on unrelated investigations, that’s never a good sign.
A few articles I’ve seen in my feed show how more successful ones hire essentially VAs to respond to messages and chat for $18+ hour. It’s really quite amazing.
I only have a ZNC bouncer and a copy of the lounge running on a VPS nowadays. Mainly kept around for some ebooks, and IRC only stuff like trackers. If I tried to actually pirate, I’d blow through the VPS’s monthly bandwidth cap.
Currently in the middle of a cutover between Flickr/Dropbox/iCloud mess to Photoprism. Immich, I’ll keep in a test instance with a decent chunk of duplicate files but I’m not too keen on how it, along with others, disregards your file structure.
I was looking at that earlier and grabbing an S3 bucket or setting up MinIO does not appeal to me. I think I’m just burned out from IRL work.
Been using Real-Debrid for years now on/off without any issues. There’s plenty of telegram channels that run them as well if you look.
Lazy piracy with YouTube for me, VPN signup and burner account. Am I happy with their business practices? Nope, but they play too much cat-mouse with the blockers that I’d rather they take my ~$1.17/m and left me alone.
It comes down to where the copyright material is stored. The actual media hosted by torrent users is by the users and as we know over the last 15 years, that backfired entirely. So the easiest way is to take down the tracker.
The files for NZBs are hosted on newsgroups and while obfuscated, is much easier to automate DCMA notices to. Also, the good NZB sites (like private trackers), are tightly controlled so their files are rarely hit vs a lot of ones who have open signups.
