The people using Reddit for its data have the easiest time scraping it for its data since they don’t need API access to post, comment, or moderate; it’s unfortunate that Reddit management continues to degrade the experience of the average user just to make it slightly harder for that scraping to occur.
Isn’t the current TPB distinct from the original; made to look the same, but run by different people?
While most space games admittedly only overlap somewhat in the context of space dogfight battles, from what I’ve read the player is able to fly the ship between planets, space stations, asteroid fields, etc? Bit too FPS-focused and not enough economic-focused for my liking in contrast to Freelancer, but the games seem to at least share that in common.
I’m always on the lookout for more games like Freelancer, but it seems like a bad sign if they don’t want people seeing gameplay footage only two weeks from the game’s release date…
Problem with PBS is that each of their releases has an availability time limit, making finding their older content at optimal resolutions difficult.
Have you found a private tracker that works well for documentaries? I’ve tried TorrentLeech, FileList, MVGroup, and usenet so far, but my to-find list still has several releases I have yet to find in 1080p (despite most such documentaries having released since 2010). MVGroup is the best tracker for documentaries I’ve found so far, but they tend to upload lots of documentaries a tier below their optimal resolutions (ie 2160p documentaries in 1080p and 1080p documentaries in 720p).
Given only 24Mbps of download speed split between everything in one household, keeping things likely to be rewatched backed up not only saves bandwidth, but also makes having a 4K TV somewhat worthwhile.
Having only 4 Mbps up and 24 Mbps down, without Freeleech building a buffer would have been impossible, particularly when competing to seed torrents with people with faster internet speeds. In the case of TorrentLeech, the best option is to invest ~2GB of your buffer into downloading and seeding 100 10MB+ torrents, giving you 4 TL points per hour. In combining the gradual point gain with the rewards of the easily attainable TL achievements, after a month you should be able to accumulate 5000 points, enough to purchase 100GB of additional buffer from the TL marketplace.
The problem is that as long as the majority of Reddit users continue to not care about the actions of Reddit management, our spinoff communities are less likely to attract newcomers than their subreddit counterparts, which will continue to have a greater proportion of people. Another problem is that the division inherent to the Fediverse puts us at a disadvantage, as while most content is the same across platforms, kbin and lemmy users seemingly can’t DM each other and the potential of having several miniature r/piracy equivalents across different Fediverse instances (as kbin.social/m/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is admittedly harder to remember than kbin.social/m/piracy) leaves us divided where r/piracy itself will likely remain largely intact, unfortunately.
