I would like to add. Don't use drive/dropbox/etc unless you encrypt your data. Those providers have been node to re-encode/compress/delete content to save space or because of DMCA.
Good guide! Thanks! Upvoted.
But, unfortunately, also highlights my biggest complaint with private trackers. Time! I could spend hours fracking with private trackers or an extra hour working and just pay for the couple things I can't get on public trackers. I have always just paid...
Trash. I tried to download a few TB of images on it and it has horrible performance.
- It trashes spinners
- it's garbage collection is delete everything. No joke when you have more than x GB they just delete everything to reclaim disk space. I ended up using ZFS volumes and just nuking the disk as it was faster.
- Networking code is garbage with no limits.
- CPU hog
Pretty sure this is fake. I tried to get them when this was released. It is garbage.
Anything by a company in the S&P 500. No reason to pad corporate earnings.
E.g. Minecraft years back no. Minecraft now that it is owned by Microsoft. Go for it.
If you are more technical I have used their command line interface https://archive.org/developers/internetarchive/cli.html
The ISP logs what IPs are assigned when.
I did mine at an Airbnb. It is a home address but not mine. Make sure you're on a resedential IP though. You can often tell them your using a VPN and there by never share a real IP.
I have never trusted private tracker security who usally depend to security through obscurity which is BS.
Wait mozzila still has port forwarding?! They run on mullvads servers last I knew https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/07/we-test-mozillas-new-wireguard-based-5-mo-vpn-service/
2nd this. I run archivebox docker flavor on my media server and have done so for years. Everything I bookmark is automatically offlined.
I stream music off of YouTube a bit and I can tell you the poor quality is notable on good speakers for certain artists/songs. It is jaring enough at times it breaks my focus and I switch to my local collection.
