Godspeed to them.

They might, if they think they’re cheated out of money

Look how hard it is to make folks switch from discord to matrix. All that fracturisation is exhausting.

Damn. Didn’t know that happened or was even possible.

What DDoS?

Would it be feasible to have/create something similar on I2P?

FYI: What you call a “Beamer” in German you would call a “projector” in english. I would edit the post, or else people will think you want to set up star trek technology. ;)

German term for projector.

Every pirate should have a library card.

Lol, true. Although that doesn’t include the provider fees, etc.

You never know how long these sites are able to stay up in the future, but it’s still way less than what I’ve payed on patreon over time.

Nope. Usenet is quite safe legally, afaik, since you’re not uploading/seeding anything. IANAL, though.

I’m not sure about anything, but the client, as I’ve been usenetting without thinking much about stuff for almost a decade now.

• eweka.nl (share your access with friends and family - I’ve shared mine with like 8 people some time in the past)
• nzbgeek (lifetime API access was like 30€ - well worth it), I also know about nzbplanet, but I don’t have a premium account there. You can try these out without paying to see if their offer suits what you’re looking for, but you won’t get API access of course and you’ll be limited in the downloads.

Last, but not least: sabnzbd is the gold standard for clients. Runs on everything: from a raspberry pi to your Desktop PC.

• It requires your phone number

Not anymore, right? Or does it still need your number for signing up?

You forgot to mention how democratically chosen its’ members are.

Wouldn’t this worsen ringing?

I tried this once and decided thhat it’s too risky. Do not do this.

Rsein printers are not for bedrooms. You’ll constantly smell that stuff and think that you’re poisoning yourself. Also: spills will happen and you don’t want that stuff spilled on your regular desk or on some object of daily use which then needs to be put out in the sun, just to be safe.

Some reporter(s?) in Germany found that all the forums for CSA actually host their material in the clearnet, i.e. on Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. (since TOR speeds are shit and those people don’t watch SD videos anymore).

The police could have demanded data from the uploading accounts and that the material was taken offline. They refused to do so, in order to “catch more criminals” or something like that.

So, their “think of the children” is exactly as in the spirit of Helen Lovejoy as it seems.

They allegedly also advertised that newegames, like TotK was running better on the EA builds and there’s the suspicion that the yuzu team also distributed the keys via torrents. All of these are just allegations, though.

But did yuzu actually break DRM? I thought that if I dumped my own game and keys with a modded (1st gen) switch and feed all of that into yuzu, nothing illegal would be going on.
