Of course it is with age. No mammals are born lactose intolerant. We drink milk as infants.

Almost universally, all adult mammals become lactose intolerant. We humans are lucky for those of us who tolerant.

The conspiracy is growing.

No, dude, they are making fun of themselves. The joke is Dull has access to revise the changelog, hid an oopsies, then “self reported” and wrote “literally 1984” on it.

Left side, original patch notes: “Fixed our rate limiter that DullBananas broke”

Right side, DullBananas revised version: “Fixed our rate limiter <full stop>”

“Literally 1984” because they are censoring the TRUTH.

Is this site in any way actually “fucking with” GOG? They use their name, but if they are providing DRM free installers, what difference does it make that you get it from there or a torrent? I don’t think GOG notices or suffers.

I used Nord proxies when I still used uTorrent, never had issues. I’m definitely hardwired, and my isp is shit, don’t get me wrong, but the only change I can see is qBit and proxies. I tried every server they had available, and the issue just stops when I don’t use their proxies. Maybe I should try proxies from some other service, but I’m not really in a place to shop around… and I don’t know that free vpn services have proxies that you can try.

I also say “stops every few minutes”, I should clarify, it stops and doesn’t resume. I have to close qbit and reopen.

I don’t know enough about ovpn or wireguard to know how that would help me… Is that not a VPN/tunneling that you have to have both sides to use? So I would go to a server that has another VPN running on anyways?

I have qBit bound to my VPN (Nord), but it basically stops every few minutes. So I had to stop and use killswitch.

This, I think, is actually an issue with qBit. But maybe it only ever happens to me.

“extremely expensive” is a bit of an overstatement.

Youtube proper, not the rest of Google, is tens of billions in the black, annually.

They reached this level of control over the market by running without video ads for a long time, forcing competitors to close out or not even open into the market without similar money backing. Turning around now and forcing tracking and ads should open them up to antitrust suits.

It’s all arbitrage. If you can afford YouTube Premium’s price, and don’t mind the tracking, go for it. But all this ad blocking and alternative front ends MIGHT come to half a billion annually. uBlock has around 15 million installs, each installed user- assuming all separate and unique and blocking YouTube- would have to deny YouTube $1000 annually for it to be affecting their revenue.

They can see the percentage of people who watched that part of the video, as part of the video analytics. This doesn’t track the user, though, at least not if you have history turned off, or are using another front end.

Do you use a proxy server through the settings, or just turn on your VPN and run it while torrenting?

I use Nord, and with the former method I was having issues. I reported it in an issue on the GitHub, and even contacted Nord for support. Now, there does seem to be a lot of down time with the regular method, but with the proxy (“better” method normally) there was times where it was exactly as you described- tons of seeds or leeches, but no connections, uploads, or downloads across the board.

In the execution log, there was an error that’d pop up repeatedly. I can’t remember or see at the moment what that error is, something about SOCKS5, the proxy connection. But after popping 5-10 times, that’s when everything would hit zeroes. I would have to close and reopen qBittorrent to get it to start again. When I used uTorrent before, I never had these issues, so I was thinking about moving on to some other torrent application. Wanting to stay with Open Source programs kept me for now.

They are from Hexbear, so they are just butthurt about Xi being insulted.

Yeah… We can look through modlogs and call out your bullshit, too, you know. Calling Xi Jinping Winnie the Pooh isn’t remotely racist nor transphobic. It started in China, from Chinese people, to a Chinese leader. It has nothing to do with race nor sexual orientation, nor is it even remotely close.

Your stupid accusations make so much sense when I see you are from hexbear, though 😂

I thought the FMHY lists showed sites that hosted themselves, not just peer posted files. If this was happening regularly with such a site, I’d eject it, too.

Also, the information provided sates plainly that this is far from the first time, but their lack of response or efforts to stop malware is what triggered the removal from the list. FileCR should plainly not be on the trusted list.

That is such a great image for memes, I’ve never seen it before.

This was me for a long time, and a pretty big symptom of depression.

Not just ISPs, the end user and other peers in the case of torrenting also will not know who or where you are.

Getting to regions blocked content is a bonus that most VPN services will provide.

Great, now there is porn here now. Welp.

Wrong answers only?

A meme.

They bundle them together because they want people to buy more. This is why the ad-free only tier disappears and it all costs more.

Yeah, he’s the guy with the purple magic wand.
