Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know? - eviltoast

I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    piracy is a latter.

    at the bottom there is the person getting a pirated ware physically from someone who copied it.

    then steps later there is rapidshare or whatever filehosters still exist.

    more steps up are public torrents and trackers.

    then there is forums that use a variety of sharing technologies like (private) torrent or hosters.

    nzb is next.

    then there is irc - which at best is linked to some of the outer ring ftp servers.

    ftp servers run by currygroups is next. and they leech from

    the core of scene ftp servers.

    sure i missed exotic outlets of the piracy latter like ondemandpiracystreaming, ssd-by-snailmail and so on… we all agree vpn is key. i think irc always has worked better than torrent ever and being easier to access thab nzbs.

      Sure, the magic of torrents is that it’s hard to truly take down. If 100 people are seeding something, good luck getting them all to stop. The next best option is to stop sites from hosting the torrent files that help you connect with seeders. But, now we have DHT that is like torrent sites automatically being peer to peer. Shits unstoppable.

      But, ftp has great benefits as well for sure. Not to downplay that.
