I am curious how many times have you gone to court? You obviously have access to internet or else you would not be here, you are on one of the more private places on the internet (fediverse) sure so the likelihood of “them” finding you on here is slim. If you are concerned about your privacy on line as I am sure many of us on Lemmy are look into getting an internet connection to your home, accept that you will have to pay taxes and invest in a really solid Pihole or Adguard home setup.

I started with pihole years ago, and when I was still on reddit people started switching over to Adguard home because they thought it was better. I still see people saying they are switching to Adguard because it does one or two things better, I just find out how to do it with pihole sure there are things pihole doesn’t do that Adgaurd home does but I am of the understanding there are things pihole does that adguard home does not do.

Open source it do not go with Adobe, unless you absolutely have to.

I am a fan of the *arr apps like https://sonarr.tv/.

I am going to guess you are not using linux so I bet the windows and mac installers explain things a lot easier than what I have running on a raspberry pi.

I was a Mac girl back in the 90’s and there were not many of my friends who also used Macs, so pirating was not much of a thing until I discovered emulators. I really enjoy NES games particularly Super Mario Bro’s 1 and 3 so I had emulators to play those. My parents would not let us get a system until I was in like high school, but I also became disabled before grade 8 so I got a Windows laptop and let me tell you did I ever pirate stuff then, in the early 2000’s.

Then I grew a conscience thinking artists made money from sales of their music, and I started paying for stuff. I understand things so much differently now a days, so I have gone back to the high seas!
