Goddammit!

 

Why won’t Nintendo just FUCK. OFF. with this crusade of theirs??!!

 

 

 

 

(And before anyone mentions it, yes, I’m aware as to why they don’t. The question was rhetorical.)







ProtonVPN also has port-forwarding.

That being said, last time I tried it, their Linux GUI was abysmal, though I hear they recently did a revamp. I haven’t used it yet though so I can’t speak on it beyond that.

Just something to keep mind.

 


Edit: Syntax.


My reasons for pirating varies by the context, however. Sometimes, I’m pirating something for morals & freedom, while other times it is because I would rather pay money for it but the only option is a DRMed one (and yes Steam is a form of DRM if it requires Steam to play), whilst other times I just pirate it because I don’t wanna pay for it.

So, yes, depending on the context, someone can be a pirate for reasons other than “pirate”.

Bottom-line is that while I agree with you that people shouldn’t kid themselves if they’re just being a pirate for pirating’s sake, I think you also shouldn’t ridicule others who are pirating for less-selfish motivations, at least during instances when that is their sole, or at least primary, motivation.

 


Tl;dr – Shit’s complex yo.




I know this is an old comment I’m replying to, but what about AirVPN? They don’t seem untrustworthy and/or a honeypot.

Are they? :/



Exactly, which is why I

  1. Use a VPN server specifically configured for P2P,

  2. Use port forwarding on said server,

  3. Only have three torrents active at a time so as not to divide my bandwidth too much, and

  4. Typically seed for weeks at a time so as to give the ratio time to build at such low speeds. (I typically try to seed up to 10.0x, but you know, with old seeds, that’s not always possible to do even with weeks of seeding. :) )

 

Seeding in this way may not be very effective, but it makes it at least feasible.


and very unlikely to ever take up your bandwith

Are you sure about that? Not all of us have fiber, you know. For instance, I have like 175 Mbps down, but only like either 2 or 10 Mbps up. (I can’t remember which. Lol.)


Never said there weren’t good FOSS substitutes; I was merely responding to what you said.



Inkscape is a vector editor, and OP didn’t say whether they used CS5 (which is a suite of different software applications) for only vector graphics.




True, but you need to build that yourself, and as I am but a smol helpless Linux newblet, I do not have the knowledge to do that.


I only ask because I have some members of my family transfer money between them, and it’s usually a high amount like that.





AFAIK Proton is the only one, or at least one of the very few, in the market that supports Port Forwarding. Mullvad got rid of theirs, which frankly sucks because although my experience has been (mostly) great, I’ve also heard great things about Mullvad, and it’s best (and nice) to have competitive alternatives to choose from.


Did you even bother to look? Your post makes it seem like you didn’t and just want to make other people do it for you.

The MegaThread is clearly labeled and conveniently divided into categories, and any source that is ranked as a GOAT source is clearly marked by a goat icon.



Gross.

Welp, I sure hope either we stay on the winning side of the cat-and-mouse game or a lot of creators jump ship to other emerging platforms (not that there are many), because it’d be a damn shame to have to stop watching some of the creators I enjoy watching. Many of them are damned talented folks IMHO.

I’ve heard good things about Nebula, but sadly a lot of the channels I watch are not quite on there yet. Also, I’m broke, so there’s that. Lol.



Of course. :) I love learning about etymology and stuff, but I understand language is an evolving phenomenon so I try not to be a dick. Lol, hopefully, I succeeded.



I really hate to be “that person”, but..........it’s “run of the mill”, not “run off the mill”, friend.

It’s a term from the late 1800s that refers to “manufactured goods not graded or sorted for quality—that is, a mill’s products before they’ve been separated according to what will sell for how much.” (Source for quote: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/where-does-run-of-the-mill-come-from)

Seriously, I’m not trying to be a grammar nazi here. Unless of course that was just autocorrect being a dick, in which case I’ll go walk off a cliff now… :/



“If I have to be miserable, so does everyone else.”

Yup, that’s the kind of mindset a lot of these kinds of people have.


This is why I keep a physical backup of all my emulator installers on an external hard drive. They get rid of some emulators, I still got my personal copies!





Does anyone know of a half-way decent FOSS alternative to Kega Fusion?
To start off, I just want to say that Kega Fusion is a *wonderful* emulator for pre–Sega Saturn emulation. However, the fact that it is not open-source concerns me. What if something happens and the person is required to take it down? (Not likely after 14 years but still...) Or hell they just decide to take it down for whatever reason. (Again, not likely after 14 years, but *still*...) I still am using it, but it would also be nice to have an alternative if the worst were to happen, or hell just in case there's a person out there who would prefer a different emulator. Unfortunately, the Megathread is kind of...lacking in this department. In the Sega subsection, it lists three emulators: two for the Dreamcast and one for the Genesis / Mega Drive and below. So, yeah, does anyone know of any alternatives we could add to the Megathread? (On the same note, I'd also like to add that [Yabause](https://yabause.org/) seems a decent enough emulator for the Saturn, none of for which are included on the Megathread. (Not sure if my syntax was correct there... :/ ))

Is the SNES emulator Snes9x no longer trusted?
I remember back in the day the emulator Snes9x was one of the best emulators for Super Nintendo emulation, but it's not on the Megathread. Is it no longer trustworthy or was it just missed? Sorry if this was already asked in this community. I would've searched but Lemmy (or at least my Lemmy instance, I suppose) doesn't seem to have a search function for intra-Community searching. Cheers.

Megathread seemingly has a contradiction. What am I missing?
- In the Megathread, section 3-12 (*Unsafe Sites*), under ["All Purpose"](https://rentry.co/megathread-unsafe-sites#all-purpose), the first entry is 1377x-to, reason listed as > Fake clone: (Crafted with cunning intent to ensnare unsuspecting users through deliberate deception). - However, in the Megathread, section 3-1 (*All Purpose*), under ["Torrents"](https://rentry.co/megathread-all-purpose#torrents), likewise the first entry is 1377x-to.   --- **Edit**: Lol, got the characters mixed up, I guess. Whoops. Well, to all the people being nice about it and kindly letting me know, thank you very much! To all the people being dicks about it (concerningly a *lot* of you it seems ಠ_ಠ), maybe learn a bit of humility. Some people mix up similar-looking characters in their heads. It's a thing that happens.
