You would reuse the same password or use the same password with slight variations. I would also often see passwords written down on sticky notes. People sometimes has different passwords but stores them unencrypted in password.xls or something similarly named.
Thank God for password managers these days. I haven't refused the same password for many years now. I generate three random words with a number and special character for all my passwords.
Jackett can be run on any computer. It doesn't need a server or any serious hardware. It can probably be run on a $20 Pi. It's just allows you to interact with trackers via API calls.
I use Prowlarr via Docker now a days. It's provides a much better experience to interact with othe instances of ARRs.
Appreciate the well thought out reply. I came to Lemmy for good discussion like this. It makes me happy to know that people with suffering points can still have a conversation on the internet without turning into a flame war or downvoted brigade. Appreciate you.
Bernie is too liberal for all those big donors who pump up the Democrats via Super PACs. He might get in the way of them profiting off the American people. Bernie would have been the best choice for this country at beating back the MAGA movement before it became what we have now.
This is one of the main reasons Republicans don't like education. They want to dismantle it and go to a charter system. That way they can profit off education and keep people stupid.
Running qBittorrent over web UI was a game changer. I was running it off a personal PC for the longest time (usually my newest gaming machine) but finally built a dedicated server.
To answer the question, I don't think they should be used for anything. Keep a small stack for a rainy day and get rid of the rest. There is a reason they are all it thrift stores and being given away for free. Their are much better alternatives out their for storage. Unless you are a hoarder. Then, just add them to your pile of crap you will never use/need again.
I have burned thousands of CD/DVDs in my life but maybe only 10 in the past 15 years or so.
Having a small community is a blessing and a curse. Reddit grew too large of a user base, and the quality of interactions took a significant decline around 2015 or so. I'm hoping Lemmy (and federation in general) can bring back what I found special about Reddit around 2009-2010.
I see some of the issues that Reddit has (one-word or low-effort comments, people not reading the article, atrocious grammar/spelling), but it doesn't seem to be the norm. I've been visiting Lemmy for around a year but have finally decided to stop using Reddit and become active over here.
Is every person being sent back a rapist of a 12 year old or are people getting caught up on the system? Either way, I'm all for sending the rapist to prison at our expensive. I don't want to send them back to Afghanistan where they certainly will have no repurcuasions for raping a 12 year old girl. I think rape isn't okay anywhere in the world. I dont support sending immigrants back, because I don't support rape.
Pay to leech refers to paying to download without contributing anything. It's a pretty common phrase in the piracy and specifically BitTorrent scene. It's not ONLY pay to leech, but pay to leech is an option.
You will notice that the higher tiered trackers do not give this option out for donations.
Listen you have to pay the bills. I get it. I don't think your site is terrible by any means, but their are some things I don't agree with. It's your site. You do whatever you want with it. It's obviously successful.
I'm just offering my opinion. I've been around the block and have been an admin of a tracker before. I've been using private trackers since before Oink was around. I've seen my fair share of terrible sites and amazing sites. You run a good entry level tracker but don't assume everyone is attacking your. It's just 0s and 1s. Much love.
The need this came out of COVID and a lack of people wanting to go out. It's was a decent way to keep business open who would otherwise have to lay off all their staff. Once COVID ended, I assumed it would go away. However, money talks.
My wife was just saying how she thiks GPS is soon going to have a VIP tier to give you the best routes and the longer routes go to the people who don't pay (but still have their data harvested).
Lots of leechers and decent amount of seeders. Content is decent for a general tracker. It's a mix of scene and p2p releases. Moderation of uploads was an issue initially but doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. You could do more much worse and this is a great spot for anyone looking to enter into the private tracker world.
Biggest negative is that it is pay to leech. I get that they need to pay the server bills but they go real hard asking for donations. Also, the sys op had it out on Reddit a few months (maybe a year) back. Not sure what came of it or why, but it definitely caused a stir.
I don't think their core values necessarily align with mine when it comes to piracy. Pay to leech is only found on low-mid tier trackers for a reason. It brings bad user and keeps away the advanced users.
It would be betterest if we could organize this on a large coordinated scale. God help any AI that has been trained on any social media website. It's just not good quality data a large percentage of the time.
It's going to be pretty hard for people to fight for their rights when their stuck in a prison in El Salvador. With no due process, people will get shipped off before they have a chance to plead their case.
It's state sponsored capitalism and China has pumped a ton of money into BYD to get them to where they are.
I can see them giving larger tax breaks to companies in the US, but current administration is all in on tariffs as the way to increase our domestic production. It doesn't make ours any better or cheaper, just everything else more expensive.
