Hey, quick question for anyone who can help me.

My Qbittorrent refuses to seed for some reason, I have really good internet speed and wanna help with seeding but it just constantly says 0 upload even though the limiter is set to infinite.

Any solutions?

Not sure where to ask this, so I'll ask here. Linking to pirate sites (not content) is okay here as I understand it. However my account is with Lemmy.world, which in its "rules" specifically states "Protect our community from harassment, malicious or illegal content". Would I technically be at the whim of Lemmy.world by linking to pirate sites, or do I have some leeway here?

This kind of Piracy (not to be confused with the whole ship plundering one) is not a crime in most of the World, rather it's a Civil Law affair, so roughly in the same basket as breach-of-contract.

I suspect the whole "illegal content" stuff is about things like child porn or bomb making instructions, not breach of copyright.

There's links to the restricted Piracy subreddit now which need to be replaced i think ? Like this one in the FAQ : https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/n62da6/how_do_you_guys_know_if_a_virus_warning_is_a/gx4whhz/

Fellow Pirates, passing Tor via VPN, takes all sense on being on the Tor network. Otherthing is that if you re using mullvad VPN client you are assigned the mullvad DNS.

Jus a few dits

Anyone know of any active TTRPG book sharing community? Mine have all gone dark over the years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Apologies if you're asking for something different but I recently discovered https://annas-archive.org/ which is great for books.
