Im so confused as to why this is titled “Lemmy Edition” but all the hyperlinks lead back to the privated reddit sub. Maybe I’m missing something. I’ll just stick to the rentry link but I’d think it’s better off to just remove this to avoid confusion.
hello, comrades. thanks a lot for your effort. just to be sure, is this community maintained by the same staff from r/Piracy? i deleted my Reddit account months ago and i can’t check it out myself… ^^U
I was the top mod in /r/piracy, so ye
aa, thank you for replying and confirming! :)
Myself I moved here only and don’t plan to keep /r/piracy alive. However some other mods are dedicated to being unpaid jannitors for spez, so :shrug:
that’s very sad, i’m sorry.
one may feel unsupported because others don’t have enough courage to leave Reddit, leaving you alone with this, which perhaphs is more difficult than moderating r/Piracy without mods.
Might even feel outrageous if they joined later only in case Lemmy is a success thanks to the people here, but i don’t know.
i find you people very brave and forward-looking, thank you all for your effort <3

Bit of a mute point now, isn’t it? :)
Hey all, so about 10ish years ago I used to torrent a few things, nothing heavy like games or programs but just TV shows and what not. I got burned pretty bad, had my computer compromised and files encrypted. I was able to salvage most of my rig but a lot of pictures and files were lost to the ether. I want to get back into this but understandably I’m pretty concerned about it. Any tips on getting safely back into sailing the seas?
Why most of the links redirect to reddit? I dont want to open that website.
Thank god for Lemmy
I guess
Can XDCC / IRC be added to the megathread?
the first optimized settings image dont load
What are folks using to search these days? Google has become a proprietary mess and searches yield results in cookie cutout websites who all have the same format.
update: ripped.guide has returned to normalcy…
their domain seems to have been hijacked by a disgruntled former staff member who deliberately ruined the site. maybe you could add the site back? it was quite a useful resource.
It’s still there at https://rentry.co/megathread. A new pinned post will be made at a later date so everything makes sense.
Hey. I’m a noob pretty much. I was wondering if there is a way to test out TomTom Live traffic services on my Tomtom Rider 50. I bought it used, there’s an account on it. I’m scared if I reset it, that the map will be gone. And that’s 50€. I didn’t find anything so far. Only thing I find is the apk for the mobile app, but nothing for the actual satnav
The links under section 1 link to Reddit, may be an idea to host those elsewhere?
EDIT: I missed the link at the bottom, looks like it’s all on rentry.co
One problem. Mullvad, they stopped support for forwarded ports this month.
Ivpn stopped as well. Let’s hope this is not a trend…
When reading the reasons of mullvad to stop, my guess is that others will follow
Agreed. I think the only VPN providers that are able to keep offering port forwarding are those that log data and hand it to the authorities.
No, Njalla at njal.la offers port forwarding
With mullvad not allowing portforwarding, should we be recommending it?
About port forwarding, is it nessecary to download or just to upload?
I am no expert, but I think it does deal with both? Definitely upload, but I think that if your ports aren’t forwarded correctly then you won’t get as many download connections?
Came here to post this. If seeding is important to you, and I hope it kinda is, then you need port forwarding. So Mullvad is out, or at least I switched away from it.
Switched to what? Mullvad was a trustworthy reliable staple.
I go with Njalla for torrents until I hear anything weird about them
Seed or die baby
I wonder if they couldn’t have just switched to NAT-PMP port forwarding like Proton does.
Could you ammend the reddit links to point to old.reddit? The new design is just bad to look at.
