ACE sure did go downhill since they released Ace Stream.

That’s technically within your legal rights I guess, just like (depending what the fine print says) it’s within their rights to throttle all your traffic one way or another to a low speed including the stuff you actually need to go faster. The places that always have low speeds for everyone are like that because they’re designed to cater to people who don’t give a shit about what their fair share might be and just want to max out their connection. Those services are fine for torrenting, useless for everything else. Windscribe isn’t one of those but it could become one if enough of its users think like you and insist on it.

Hopefully they’ll set a soft 2TB limit or something before they do that, though.

Them calling it “unlimited” when there’s a limit is wrong, but so is using all of the available upload bandwidth 100% of the time on a cheap home VPN service when you consider the current market prices for data transfer. Mine’s limited to 2Mbps. Seems fair for $7/month or whatever it is.

Edit: Oh right it was 2Mbps. I spent 20 minutes surveying datacentre prices around the world to come up with that number, but bandwidth prices vary widely and might’ve changed by now.

Port forwarding lets you connect with other hosts peer-to-peer which a VPN would otherwise block if both sides are behind one. For torrents you’d get more peers (which doesn’t matter if you’re just downloading the latest and most popular stuff) and be able to seed more effectively.

The requirement for port forwarding narrows that down to AirVPN and Windscribe, which is an unfortunately small set of choices.

The Pirate Bay is perfectly fine for that sort of thing.

Welcome to 2014

approx $6.84USD

Huh. So definitely not worth it then. Just buy a space heater instead. When I did it a few years ago I got $500 out of it, but it cost me a $350 video card which died soon after.

Firefox (with good settings, or Librewolf) + uBlock Origin + Decentraleyes + NoScript (with default permissions removed) is probably > 80%.

I also don’t want to be running an antique OS… Just a debloated one.

This is not a Windows forum, so I feel justified in pointing out that in that case you should probably avoid Microsoft products entirely.

Since you’re already on btrfs it’s probably better to actually use the features it has to expand your existing filesystem to cover both drives.

But if you just want to mount it somewhere and not worry about figuring out anything complicated, what I did is mount my big new cheap disk at /home/bigdisk and then have symlinks pointing to it such as ~/Videos -> /home/bigdisk/Videos.

So the normal “I just want to watch netflix” price has gone from $8 to $18. A 125% increase.

From each according to his wealth, to each according to his payment.

Has anyone checked for correlation between having a taste for capsaicin and not chewing your food thoroughly?

Quick, somebody give that man $350000

Personally I’d put a higher priority on stamping out that use of “porn”.

The vast majority of papers that make serious errors and draw the wrong conclusions are never retracted. The sort of people needing to be told to check whether a paper was retracted before citing it are not likely to produce much that’s of value even if they do so.

Is there some way we can use piracy to purge AI sites?
