I have a cheap 2 bay synology NAS that acts solely as a backup server for my main NAS in an offsite location as well as a USB drive locally.
Backups run every night with duplicacy
I exclude media files (movies, TV shows,...) from my backup routine due to the sheer amounts of data accumulated over time and the fact that most of it can be re-aquired using public sources in case disaster recovery is needed
I never fully disconnected to my inner child, had a brief period of my life where I tried to act all mature and pretentious and suppressed some habits but slowly diverged back to my natural self.
Today I can confidently say that I am a productive and respected member of society while keeping my inner child up and I'm very very happy with it! So in my eyes it's possible to be both in today's world
I remember reading an announcement from the main developer that he isn't able to find time to work on that project not too long ago, so not sure if it is a viable option for the future. Definitely a cool project though.

When I was younger I pirated because I didn't have any money to spare for digital media. Today I have a stable income and can afford all these things but I still pirate because it's just more convenient in many ways.
Whenever I consume something that I really like I 100% support the artist / developers mostly by buying this exact product and / or some merch or by going to their concerts (if it's music related)
To me piracy is just a way of freedom. Which includes to respect other people if they like or dislike spending money on certain things. In my eyes we should not split this community in such a way because this would kill the essence of freedom to make your own choices
I don't really get this article to be honest.
An attacker doesn't need vscode to expose your closed off network, there are many more terminal tools that can be used for various kinds of attacks, especially if the attacker can smuggle in his own executables, as it's assumed in the post.
Neither do I like Microsoft nor vscode but to me it looks like the tunnel thingy can (and definitely should) be blocked off easily and it seems to be even documented by Microsoft.
Just show them a picture of a homeless person next to a beautiful celebrity and ask them with whom they'd like to hang out with.
Depending on their age they probably are already familiar with the concept without realizing it
When I started to get into private trackers I did the following, which worked out really well in my case:
- Basic research (back then mostly via re*dit) on what the most popular trackers are and select the ones I want to join
- Be prepared that being part of private trackers also means that one has to contribute back to the community by seeding
- Hang out in their irc or discord channels and either wait for open invites or just be nice to other people and get invites from them (just trying to be part of the community)
- be patient, it took a few days to get into the first one and after a month or two I was already in all of the trackers I wanted to be in
It was actually not much effort, I had to go through only one interview which was easy to prepare for and not very challenging. All in all it was definitely worth it and I'm glad I brought up that little bit of patience
Wollt nur ne Erinnerung da lassen, dass morgen Tag der Bratwurst ist. (ich feier mit meinen kumpels rein)
Headaches can be a bitch and I wish you all the best that you get rid of them.
I luckily am 99% headache free except every 3-4 years I have cluster headache episodes that last around a month (usually late spring / early summer) with up to two attacks a day and 1-4 hours per attack with indescribable pain.
Wait, aren't seed boxes just VMs that run on the infrastructure of some internet hoster that doesn't give a crap about the users utilizing it for torrenting? But AFAIK on most seed boxes the user needs to configure the VMs themselves to some degree. So it acts as some beefed up proxy server to torrent stuff without you compromising your own ip address + you have access to high bandwidths and some tb of storage to store your downloaded stuff
