Sailing the high seas

[(Anonymous)]

I'm seeing a bigger and bigger push back to pirating shows and movies, but how is that even done these days? Are torrents still a thing and if so, how and where? Like, is the pirate bay still a thing? What clients and VPNs do people use these days?

Or are the kids these days using something else entirely?

Re: Sailing the high seas

[kaijinscendre]

I use (one of the many) sites that stream TV and movies.

Re: Sailing the high seas

[(Anonymous)]

I'm still getting everything via DC++, and have been since the 90s.

Re: Sailing the high seas

[(Anonymous)]

How does that work for media? How do you find specific shows/movies and are there any security concerns?

Re: Sailing the high seas

[(Anonymous)]

Most people have files shared and the rooms are titled with their specialties (e.g. anime, music, movies, indie, games, etc etc) and you just use the search function to see if anyone in the room has what you're looking for. I typically spend my time in rooms that measure their share in the tera- or petabytes, so I don't have a hard time finding anything, really.

As for security, I've never heard of any issues or had any myself. DC++ is front-loaded on effort, so most people, including the lawyers, give it a miss and the rooms will kick out and ban anyone trying to get malware in there.

There's a megathread with all the info you could ever want om the piracy reddit

Re: Sailing the high seas

This is not a bad place to start. These days, there are a lot of streaming sites that are free, but not all of them are terribly reliable. I recommend using a VPN and an adblocker.

Re: Sailing the high seas

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, was gonna recommend the same. I stream, I do not use a VPN (maybe I should? I'm less worried because it's just streaming, not downloading, but maybe I should be).

Re: Sailing the high seas

[(Anonymous)]

Well, the OP mentioned torrenting which is why I recommended a VPN. For streaming only, it's probably okay? I don't really know, tbh.

Re: Sailing the high seas

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, you want to get a VPN for those sites.

Re: Sailing the high seas

Oh wow, thanks. I'm not on reddit so I didn't even occur to me to check there!

question for the crocheters

[(Anonymous)]

I know we have at least a couple.

Are the fancy expensive hooks worth it? I'm using the aluminum ergonomic susan bates and they're fine, but I feel like I'm being brainwashed by crochet groups into wanting to buy the tulip or clover or one of the fancy ones because they all talk so highly about it.

Re: question for the crocheters

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, it's 100% what is comfortable and ergonomic for you, plus being a material that works well with your thread.

Re: question for the crocheters

[(Anonymous)]

If the susan bates works for you, then that's all you need, honestly. Like... I keep seeing Furls hooks get raved about (and they are PRETTY), but I have cheap hooks that work! Some of the ones that aren't ergonomic that I've added silicone beads to the handles of, on the smaller sizes, and then an ergonomic handle set on the inexpensive side that a friend gave me. And I can make all the same things that someone could make on a more expensive or attractive hook.

Re: question for the crocheters

[(Anonymous)]

I have arthritis, so I did upgrade my hooks to more ergonomic ones and my hands and wrists appreciate it. But I crocheted for years with an inexpensive set, and I wouldn’t have changed it just because the others look prettier.
Save yourself some money and don’t change unless you have to.

Fanvid recs

[(Anonymous)]

If anyone has any fanvids they'd like to recommend/promote, please go for it! I love a good fanvid.

Re: Fanvid recs

[(Anonymous)]

I'll just dump these here, shall I? I don't watch a lot of FMV but I have a hodgepodge collection of favorites that I've collected over the years.
