Starting to use "soulseek" do I need VPN
  • True. Now I pay for VPN with port forwarding, so if I were to use soulseek again I'd just share. Back then I was in the same boat as OP and couldn't afford a VPN.

    Starting to use "soulseek" do I need VPN
  • Haven't used soulseek in about a decade, so things might have changed, but back then my workaround was this: I search for what I want, find a person who's sharing it, and if their library was good I'd allow them to see my library before downloading from them.

    So basically I'd share with folks I downloaded from, but not the general public. Not foolproof, but drastically reduced chance that somebody with a well-curated library was there just to prosecute.

    TIL on 29 April 2013, scientists reported that during spaceflight microbes seem to adapt to the space environment in ways "not observed on Earth"
  • Either adaptability/organizational ability, or some form of chaos. Under the specific environmental conditions of earth, one set of outcomes are favored, but under other conditions different outcomes are favored.

    And the interplay of these outcomes and mutations can result in novel adaptations. Or something like that ¯\(ツ)
