your best bet is probably just seeing if u have any friends with an account that can rip them for you or share the login with you

damn i get i was wrong but theres no need to throw around insults over it
thats fair i definitely get your last point, think the rest is probably down to our personal experiences with trolls/bigots. appreciate you taking the time to reply
how so? it seems like a handful of users are the issue on that instance, they’re clearly just looking for a place to spew hatred so when those users find out a instance largely made up of queer folk defederated with their instance don’t you think they’d be more likely to make an account on another instance and bring the hate here? i think unless the admin is supportive of that behavior it would make more sense to give them a chance to deal with that on their own before deciding to defederate
if there isn’t an overlap in userbase then i don’t see a reason to defederate, and if we did defederate then i think there would be more of a risk of brigading or harassment than there already is now. might as well leave the beehive alone so nobody gets stung
hey they dont pirate shit but they sure do have a lot to say in the comments lmao
pdf drm is already really easy to defeat (there’s online file converters that can do it in seconds), i agree on the rest tho i probably wouldn’t use it personally, libgen is great for anything academic and then for the rest, slsk has a surprising amount of books floating around
been using nicotine+ and it’s been pretty light on resources for me, on windows with ~2.8tb of shared files i’ve never seen it use more than 1% cpu or 200-300mb ram on my system. I feel you on the 1st point tho, I’m running mine off a laptop that I use for school work etc. and my shares are stored on a external hdd, so it’s impossible to have it running 24/7 even though I’d love to be able to do that. I think a nas is probably the best solution for big collections and thats what most of the slsk users with several tb of files use, but it can definitely be a decent investment of time and money
After reading up on this some more it seems like he has plans in place to have his brother maintain the service if he can't anymore, and even if he didn't, the service should run until his aws subscription ends. Seems like not too big of an issue even for those who don't use a client.
decided to check out of curiosity and couldn’t see the pref from the article listed in my config (im on 116.0), ~i’d imagine theres a chance it would work if manually adding that pref and setting to true but i have no idea where i could test it since i don’t use any sites that would need that pref to work.~
wonder if user agent spoofing would work, probably wouldn’t hurt to try that as well
