Feature a game or utility or OS of the day/week, with commentary on it?

To set the flavor of what you want in the /c, subject to change, pending what the contributors actually want instead…

First of all, I’d recommend that you don’t do that if the creators are still active.

The small timers/indies NSFW creators, especially selling the ones selling their stuff indirectly on Gumroad, have a tough time making a living and creating content without having to battle their own pirated material.

If you enjoy their content from your favorite indie creators, and want to see more from them, please financially support and promote them.

If you do upload some indie content, limit your uploading to 1 or 2 pieces, as opposed to entire siterips, please credit the creators, include links to their content, and encourage downloaders to support the creators.

On the other hand, if the creators have retired or gone out of business, go for it!

I guess find a general torrent site, or appropriate specialty torrent site. That or upload to an infested downloading site and post that address in one of those forums where those infested download site links get posted? Yeah I know, use JDownloader…

Most general torrent sites have NSFW/XXX content.

You can also upload the content to archive.org. It will quickly be flagged as NSFW and excluded from searches, but at least it’ll be archived. You can post direct links to your uploads there in appropriate forums and other communities.

When all else fails, there’s YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwVbRQceKdUBQ8cDHlBXMoZvLLYqcLsoy

Just about everything. I do see recent anime episodes on there, so it is reasonably up to date.

I recognize Chinese and Japanese content too.

The search in the eMule program is the way to go.

Just don’t expect blazing fast downloads because often it really is just one source on someone’s PC somewhere.

Maybe you want something like a command line torrent client?

Get a filepath list of all the files you want to torrent, and use a text editor to paste the torrent executable and arguments to turn the file list into a script file, then run it?

I understand that Deluge can be operated via command line. https://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?t=47831 I’m not sure whether that works on platforms other than Linux.

You should probably talk to the tracker admins about before you do this so that you don’t get mistaken as some kind of attack.

“Stars!” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars!

A 4X game for Win 3.11 that was set up for multi-player by email and ftp turbo.

Fantastically ergonomic use of early GUI features.

You could design your own alien race and ships, the default races were well balanced, but all played very differently.

There’s a migration program to transfer torrents from utorrent to qbittorrent.

https://forum.qbittorrent.org/viewtopic.php?t=3224

I remember using it way back when, and they’ve kept it updated.

I’ve had good luck with eD2K/eMule for older shtuff.

That doesn’t work well automated torrent setups though.

Also, YouTube frequently is the answer for many documentaries and straight-to-video shtuff

As a follow up, possible Iranian malware be damned, this turned out to be the smoothest running version of the game that I tried.

BitDefender didn’t find anything, but of course that doesn’t mean anything after you have the app installed.

Others that I tried had Chinese stuff on bootup, and stuttered when running.

Time to buy shares in VPN providers?

RPCS3’s website says GoW3 has problems with this emulator.

This title is currently not considered “playable”, as the hardware requirement is too high. But it can be played from start to finish with decent performance on a good CPU, especially if you use the game’s patches.

Ban non-union delivery and non-union warehouse distribution centers.

I did find an APK on some outfit called apkvision.org, installed it, but it had something something about Iran, so I probably now have Iranian malware on my phone. 😓

Predicting he’ll call Mexico an “American protectorate” or some other bullshit before/during/after he invades.

Yes.

To be fair, $1.9 billion + $665 million in civil penalties is a good sized fine for laundering $881 million (that the Feds know of).

I’m sure HSBC won’t make that mistake again, unless the profit motive overrides the risk again.

Flud looks proprietary and has ads.

Libretorrent works just as well and is open source.

Only if they follow up by shutting down gun stores because they’re aiding and abetting terrorist organizations by knowingly selling ridiculous amounts of arms that ultimately wind up in terrorist cartel hands.

“Quotations from Mao Zedong” the official name, and PRC nationals probably get deducted social points credits for calling it anything other than that.

But the fact that it’s published as a “little red book” fails to escape the obvious reference, if you’re familiar with Chinese history, and the Cultural Revolution.

One quotation from a French newspaper, even a respected one, doesn’t change that.

In fact, given the Chinese Communist Party’s control over education, I question what the “Mandarin speakers in Rednote” actually learned about the Cultural Revolution and its awfulness. Likely a similarly filtered version to what the Japanese today learn about what the Imperial Army did in WW2.

The picture of people across the globe doomscrolling religiously through the “little red book” on their phones without knowing where it came from is subversive(?), ironic(?). I can’t think of a good word right now.

The irony of the name which translates directly “little red book” is it’s the indoctrination document for Mao’s Communist China

Mao’s “little red book” of his quotes and philosophy was especially visible during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, where Mao’s followers became like a cult, reading the little red book every day, destroying historical artifacts and archaeological sites, property of alleged non-Maoists and non-conformists, and imprisoning the professional class in camps for “re-education” as farming peasants. Local massacres of “undesireables” as well as mass starvation from failed farming policies, led to millions of unnecessary deaths.

Think Communist Taliban taking over a country the size of China.
