Stealing is good so it’s really just semantics isn’t it

I’d say it depends, really. Stealing is neutral on its own. There are cases where it’s bad and cases where it’s good. Piracy is just good on its own merits. There is no way in my mind that I can possibly frame it negatively.

Furthermore, bananas are good and so is peanut butter, but despite the fact that I often eat them together, they are not the same thing. And differentiating between them is hardly a petty semantic argument, though technically it is semantics.

The first bit of flavor text in the game is someone complaining (justly) about how the Soviets give everyone free healthcare while the Americans have the privatized Trauma Team™ that’s pretty likely to just let you die and harvest your organs.

Now I really want a Cyberpunk USSR where you just use your cyber strength to help build rockets and venture towards the stars.

The “American” (USA no longer exists) healthcare is even funnier than that IMO. If you have enough money for private health insurance, the health insurance implant in your body will automatically calculate the cost of curing you when you get sick or injured. If you can cover the cost, a private flying ambulance will swoop down and pick you up, and if not you just die and somebody comes by later to harvest your implants.

Also don’t use uTorrent, use qbittorrent.

It’s insane that piece of adware still has mindshare in the torrenting community.

Deluge is great too (and potentially easier to install from distribution repositories for Linux users).

qBittorrent should be packaged in most distros as well. I do prefer Deluge as well.

I’ve always stood by Transmission myself. Most distros ship it with the GTK interface, but it has a QT interface as well if you compile it yourself. I’ve only used the QT interface on Windows though.

I felt for sure it was unavailable on Debian stable, even checked first, but I made a typo - you’re right, it’s available even there.

No, but apparently it runs fine on the latest version of Proton (https://twitter.com/Plagman2/status/1336777322607734784)

Deluge is good, but setting it up to use safely with a VPN is harder.

Transmission does the job and may also be available easily on distributions.

Deluge is probably better for gnome, xfce, and budgie users, qbittorrent is easily the best for kde users though.

uTorrent has crypto miners and adware, qbittorrent is open source and feature rich.

Either use a reliable VPN or a seedbox.

Proton VPN is fantastic (and has a free version), I can’t recommend them enough.

I used protonvpn for a bit, but they don’t allow port forwarding so it was really difficult for me to seed anything. Have you had any luck with this?

permalink

Honestly I can’t remember the last time I needed to mess with port forwarding, I’m pretty sure I just added an exception so the program that needed it wouldn’t go through the vpn. Which works fine for games but is probably less helpful for seeding.

Using an IP blocklist if your torrent client supports can’t hurt. It doesn’t help as much anymore as it used to, but it’s so easy there’s no reason not to.
