I would say “I run Debian, btw!” But you already knew because of the b.o. smell.

If you don’t have a solution when I get home tonight I’ll install this on Debian and explain how it went.

We should be able to figure out together how to translate that into getting it running on nixos, whatever that is.

Please bear in mind that even if you were to figure out a process for torrenting without a vpn in a jurisdiction with a law against it that you don’t want to bear the repercussions of, you still need to seriously audit and understand your own security practices.

Just last week, the guy who runs the website “have I been pwned”, which hosts a searchable database of credentials that have been found in data breaches, was phished and had to add the people on his mailing list to his own websites database of people who suffered from data breaches.

This person is a security consultant to many organizations all over the world and operates one of the first resources used to figure out the breadth and depth of an individual or organizations exposure to leaks.

There are many cases just like this ripped from the headlines example.

If experts in the field cannot guarantee their own security, it follows that you cannot do so either and you may be well served by thinking critically about your own capacity to perform the research required to accomplish the task you’ve laid out for yourself.

To put it more succinctly, and I have to ask that you read the following with as much kindness, understanding and warmth as possible:

You are likely not capable of figuring this out for yourself in a way that keeps you safe from the law.

Please be careful out there and make good decisions. Not everyone on Reddit or lemmy is an expert and many people don’t have your best interests in mind.

I remember a while back the European country air is incorporated in passed an anti vpn law to prevent people from using them to stream soccer games (?). In compliance with the law, air said it wouldn’t offer services to people in that country.

So depending on what country the op is in and how the company is complying with the law, airvpn might not be an option.

It’s funny, the thing that makes windows “easy” to use for big shops is the domain server and group policy. You start from the top and push everything down to client devices.

Managing a Linux shop without the redhat tools is absolute hell. A decade and a half ago the usual response to a Linux user was “you’re on your own and it’s your responsibility if a software problem impacts your productivity”.

Of course when I wax rhapsodic about how nice windows has become over the past years it’s because the ideas and capabilities of those tools for managing hundreds of users have trickled down to the individual user.

What sucks is that the user experience of windows has shifted towards that of tablets. So you get a powerful enterprise backend with key features removed and the interface of a cell phone.

Getting old ftw.

Watching windows develop has been astounding over the past decade.

There were already good tools built in but so much of the refactoring and adoption of practices and tools from other environments makes me want to use it.

It’s like a car with everything I want except it has a cvt.

Double post. Pay no mind.

It’s maybe only marginally piracy, but yt_dlp can be used to automatically scrape channels and playlists.

Useful when you watch a lot of stuff that gets taken down.

No less safe than anything else I reckon.

That’s probably a bad idea.

Not only are you going from committing a crime in private to committing a crime in public, you’re putting yourself in one of the most vulnerable positions possible when it comes to computer security (every few months there are new attacks developed specifically to target users of free public wifi).

Even if that wasnt a problem to you, businesses often have content blockers and traffic shaping to prevent you from torrenting and when they don’t you’ll be competing with everyone else actively streaming video and audio to their phones as well.

It’s also trivial to figure out who’s torrenting on public wifi and has been for years.

If you’re truly concerned about this new law then public wifi isn’t the solution.

E: and if all that doesn’t convince you and you go through with it, you’ll be causing a problem that will actively make people look for you so the wifi isn’t completely jammed up.
