or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life.

It seems so stupid that I’m like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don’t want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don’t want to “sign up.”

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I’m not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that’s enough.

    How do you get “good” private trackers man. Either they’re all empty or just seem impossible to get into

      Open signups happen frequently but you have to be quick to catch them

      Opentrackers.org and r/opensignups (or r/trackersignups) are good to check once in a while

      MyAnonaMouse has open applications twice a week and the test is very easy

      Depends on which tracker. In general though invites and you get invites by association with relevant groups. Sometimes open registration occurs (though rarely) an other times the trakcer may do interviews.

      It mostly comes down to time and patience.

      By not torrenting. Use Usenet instead. Way safer and easier. Once I went Usenet I literally haven’t touched a single torrent in over a decade.

          Newsgroups.
          Basically (Its all afaik) bulletin boards and meant for groups juat chatting like we do here on reddit/lemmy.
          But they also host binaries that (when put together) equal a movie file. Kinda like a multi-rar file.
          Thwy usually have deals around black friday.
