This community actually isn’t about piracy but about a video game called „Piracy” where you steal intellectual property
There are no pirates here officer
I am hypothetically asking what’s a good laptop in that game cause am looking to buy.
Lenovo 67Z ACAB edition with GFY upgrade
I walked into that one.
13 ft Sunfish with Lateen rig. I’m thinking about swapping it to a Bermuda rig just to try it out.
Wat?
Just a standard issue Lenovo, Linux, and a VPN. Nothing too wild or likely to stand out lol.
I hope you have a kill switch.
I do! And I set QBittorrent to only run through the VPN connection 👍
Which one(VPN)?
I use Mullvad personally, but probably any of the major ones would do the trick.
ProtonVPN, IVPN, Mullvad or Windscribe. Stay with the ones that are independent. Stay away from the ones with sketchy parent companies such as Express On and Private Internet Access.
It’s also worth looking into a project called Gluetun!
Best of luck.
I am on proton right now. I was looking into spn from portmaster, I will also check out gluetun then.
I use a Synology nas which has official support for docker / docker-compose to run my arrstack and has n+2 btrfs redundancy. Then for running Plex and jellyfin I use an Intel nuc10i7 with quick sync with the nas media folder mounted over the network but using a direct gigabit link between the 2 so that the traffic stays off my switch.
I could have gotten away with doing it all on the nas if I forewent ECC in favor of quick sync, but my first priority with my nas is keeping personal artifacts safe so I went with ECC.
It’s not so much about what hardware you use, but in how it is configured.
Pretty much any system hardening, privacy and anonymity resources will help here.
You know people rave about pixel and graphene os. I was just wondering what other such devices people use.
A Dell laptop
An old gaming desktop
Same. It’s an old shitbox I need to junk and replace but I’m a cheap bitch and it still works well enough so the bits will flow.
I am also working with a potato.
I don’t like running pirated binaries, so don’t pirate on the desktop directly. But I do run a server in my homelab which hosts Jellyfin/*arr’s that me and my partner stream from on our desktops, phones, TV etc.
So do you use vms or sandboxie( I use classic and edited config manually by docs) to run bins?
Pixel 6a, GrapheneOS. Soon EOL, I would buy a 8a if you dont have a Pixel.
Novacustom Laptop with Coreboot and Fedora Kinoite.
Browsers: Mull on Android (DivestOS repo), Firefox RPM + Arkenfox on Fedora.
Torrent apps: BiglyBT on Android (seems to be the only one reasonably updated with support for seeding?) and the legendary qBittorrent Flatpak on the Laptop
I have 2TB of storage on the Laptop NVME but my VPN stopped providing port forwarding, so seeding only works to people with open ports. Nonetheless, I seed until share ratio 5 and then often delete the stuff.
Not on the phone, as I have storage issues 🥲 128GB is NOTHING
Mull has issues I use it with jshelther on default. For torrent aria2app or libretorrent works Share ratio only 3.
Why jshelter? Used it but dont remember the use case. I use UBO and Noscript, together with “Cookie autodelete” (as mobile has no support for allowlist websites delete all others), Bypass Paywalls Clean
You are using noscript then you probably don’t need jshelter. Just search creepjs github. Jshelter helps with fingerprinting and a bit of security. Everyone has UBO(I hope).
Aria does torrents too.
Yes Aria does torrent download and has support for an “upload” notification and finding good seeders. But I have to see if it supports seeding.
I just use libretorrent most of the time for torrents on phone and aria for dl (it’s sort of a habit.)
Aria2 is just for download right? biglyBT is updated more recently and also opensource for a long time, so I trust it more. But the UI sucks.
I can swear the pixel 6a still has at least 2 more years of security updates not sure if that’s considered to be soon eol but yeah that’s a solid setup
