  • What is your go-to sites after torrentgalaxy went down?

    Jump

  • Or Real-Debrid instead of Qbittorrent if you don't mind paying ~$3/mo USD for the convenience of 1Gbps download speeds and no seeders to rely on.

  • What benefits does Usenet have over Debrid? I've been meaning to try it for years, but after finding out about Debrid services, I don't see the point when I can have a 1Gbps direct download to any torrent I want, without having to rely on seeds.

  • Nintendo Switch 2 Smashes Records with Over 3 Million Units Sold in 24 Hours

  • It's crazy how quickly everyone forgot about the Wii U.

    History is repeating itself. One all the hardcore Nintendo fans who buy every console have a Switch 2, sales are going to fall off a cliff.

  • Is Dying Light 2 worth it?

    Jump

  • Agreed. The ray tracing effects are pretty but that's about all the game has going for it.

    If you want a good zombie game sequel, play Dead Island 2 instead. It's slightly shorter than the average game but it's much better than the original.

  • 1337x.to has treated me well for the past few years. I love the active comment sections. It's just like TPB was in the early days.

  • sigh* Speaking of which, that reminds me of when I finally played Portal for the first time. Everybody was talking about how hilarious and amazing the end credits were...

    Imagine my disappointment when finally beat the game, only to find out they the "hilarious song" was just Still Alive, a tune I had already heard thousands of times before, thanks to all the memes.

  • Tankies aren't Marxists lol

    They're more MAGA than anything. I've spent quite some time on Hexbear and .ml. I've seen it with my own eyes.

    They're pro censorship, anti-free speech, anti human rights, and constantly talk shit about "liberals". Sounds like a hard authoritarian right to me.

  • Ha! FWIW I didn't find out what it did until well into adulthood, long after my parents got rid of that PC.

    As kids, my siblings and I would push it for fun, having no idea what it did (other than make the number on the 7 segment display change). Never even noticed a difference but then again I was 6 when we got that computer.

  • Maybe; did Packard Bell produce upright PC cases in the early 90s? I thought they only did horizontal cases but I was like 6 back then so I'm just going by what my mom said to me.

  • Now this is immersive

  • I went to one of these for the latest Indiana Jones film and immediately regretted it. The seats move way too much, and often during scenes when it doesn't make sense for them to be moving. I'm talking several feet of movement; the fuckers should have seat belts.

    Also for some reason there was a strobe light to the left of the screen and it kept randomly going off for some reason. Never figured out what that was about...

  • Don't remember the brand but it was a Win 3.1 machine from Sears. It had a turbo button.

  • why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't?

  • They only work for me if I take a much larger dose than what the label suggests, but I fear for my liver.

  • Amazon Fire Sticks enable “billions of dollars” worth of streaming piracy

    Jump

  • Yes except simpler because you don't have to build a library of content. The plug-ins do it for you.

    A Debrid service downloads torrents and uploads them to various file hosting websites, allowing you to directly download any active torrent at speeds up to 1Gbps. If the torrent you want isn't in their database (because it's less popular), then it behaves like a torrent client, except since it's running on a server you can shut down your PC and go about your day as it downloads in the background. Most torrents with at least a half dozen seeds are usually immediately available for direct download.

    It doesn't really protect your privacy, per se, but it gets your ISP off your back because in most jurisdictions they don't care how much you download illegally, so long as you're not distributing the files, like you would with a torrent client. (Sharing pirated files is how they get you.)

    The bad news is that these services also hit and run, so by using one you're not helping the health of the torrent. I wish they didn't do that, but I'm so used to having any file I want delivered quickly that I'm willing to sell part of my soul to have the convenience.

  • How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ?

    Jump

  • That's why I like Perplexity; I can just check the sources it used for accuracy. Unfortunately they have a garbage privacy policy, but I use a private DNS with good tracking filters so I'm only mildly concerned.

  • Stremio is basically Netflix for torrents. Its interface is similar to the popular steaming apps.

    Upon initial install it just looks like another paid steaming app with prices on all the content; the secret is to install plug-ins that allow you to steam torrents (Torrentio). Pair it with a Debrid service (like Real-Debrid) and you don't even have to wait for seeds. The show/movie starts playing instantly, just like the paid streaming apps. Like a Library of Babel for media, except it's real.

    And the nice part about having a Debrid service is that it works any torrent, not just TV/movies. I have gigabit internet, so I can download literally any game I want in under an hour, even 100+ GB AAA titles.
