Slimy lobbyist: Sure I'll hold your robe and... whoops how did that big wad of cash get in there?

No, no, it's 198.162.0.1!

Just seems like companies are making short sighted choices for cost reduction over thinking about the potential long-term repercussions for putting their intellectual property and untimely their fates, in the hands of third party.

Welcome to late stage capitalism baby! It'll only be a short stay though because these assholes are going to implode the planet looking for their next quick buck.

It's a rabbit hole indeed, I've already started looking around the *arr-verse and I can definitely say several of them are looking mighty fine already. And they really aren't particulary challenging setups either, unless you get into the whole self-hosted side with NAS's and reverse proxies and what not.

Truly a golden age for FOSS at the moment.

I just installed Jackett (a tracker aggregator effectivley) yesterday, it was a super easy set up and now my qbittorrent can check all the torrent sites at the same time and find the highest seeded file from practically every public tracker on the internet.

So I'd highly recommend this route. I also set up Jellyfin on my WebOS TV yesterday too, which was a bit more of a challenge but it works flawlessly so I'd also highly recommend Jellyfin as well.

Maybe take out a new domain name? New-pipe.net perhaps.

Quite often only 27.

If it's speed you're after try Titanfall 2, my son is really good and watching him play is enough to give you seizures it's so fast paced.

It should be, I fully agree, unfortunately we live in a digital panopticon.

Eeeeh, I could but Techland has long been one of my favorite little studios so pirating one of their games just doesn't feel right to me.

Also piratebay hasn't been relevant in years and is most likely chock full of all kinds of nasty malware now, try 1337x instead. They're probably the best of the lot now rarbg is no longer with us.

Dying Light, absolutely fantastic pakour zombie smasher with one of the best cities in gaming. Bought it originally (on a disc) many years ago and played it so much the disc died and I was inconsolable until Epic gave away the ultimate edition and I was finally able to play The Following DLC.

Now I go and look at Dying Light 2 on Steam and wish my stupid country wasn't so damn expensive, even on sale at 50% off it still costs almost as much as a brand new AAA game in the states. Regional pricing my ass, we always get stung so hard for tech down here.

You would think that, but the big banks made out like absolutely crazy from the derivatives and then got to seize a whole swathe of land they then sold on for even more money or kept for themselves and used to artificially inflate the rental markets while at the same time curb stomping their competition thus giving them a much larger piece of the pie after everything shook out.

The real own goal here is the poor saps who thought they were getting a cheap mortgage until the interest rates started going up and up.
