I’m honestly surprised CG has survived this long. Most of the other trackers I was on from that era are long gone.

Oink’s Pink Palace gone, What gone, baconBits gone, cheggit gone… I think the only two other than CG that still exist are indietorrents and empornium. I’m old now so the porn trackers no longer appeal to me.

Those were the halcyon days, for sure,

Soulseek is still kicking ass and taking names, bruh

If you’re on linux check out the Nicotine+ native linux client for soulseek

It’s definitely not easy, especially if you don’t have a seedbox.

I have gotten a good amount of upload, but that’s on torrents I have been seeding for literally years at a time.

What is a private tracker?

A private tracker is a torrent website that provides the same functionality as a public tracker but is invite-only. This means you need to be a member to view the contents of the site and download its torrents. A tracker can either be semiprivate, where you can create an account for free by just registering your details, or fully private, where another user has to invite you. Within a tracker, there is usually an extensive set of rules covering how much one can download, what kind of content one can upload, what precautions one must take when logging into the site, etc. Such rules and content vary from tracker to tracker, and go from rather liberal with little enforcement to ultra-paranoid and autistic

Private trackers enforce ratios, and good private trackers reward long-term seeding, which is part of why I like private trackers.

I’m very proud of my CG account that turns seventeen next month.

EDIT: No I don’t have invites, before anyone asks.

Usenet is an excellent suggestion. I wish I wasn’t too poor for it. I miss the days when it was included in an ISPs internet connection.

It’s definitely easier than trying to break your way into the private tracker game. Trash guides is top tier useful stuff.

Hell yes!

It depends on how your Plex server is set up. If you have SSH/SCP access to the machine Plex is hosted on, you could conceivably upload it through SCP, but I don’t think there’s a way through the Plex interface itself.

That’s Nostradumbass to you.

Yes, and as someone with a pricey cancer treatment at the moment which I can only afford due to Medicaid, there is a very good chance I will be one of them.

America will suffer an economic depression and become more isolationist which will allow the depression to continue unabated. Millions die of starvation and exposure.

I’d say those SMART attributes don’t look great…

Trump’s Social Media Site Quietly Admits It’s Based on Mastodon

Mastodon had originally threatened to sue Trump’s ‘Truth Social’ site for allegedly violating its open-source license.

OP should try Truth Social, I hear it’s technically a Mastodon fork…

Look man, I’m not the one hiding behind “You didn’t understand my joke on the internet through text which I was clearly being sarcastic, although, you would have no way of knowing that since it’s the internet, and sarcasm can be easily misunderstood, so ergo I am clever because you didn’t understand sarcasm… through text…” Like maybe if at any point you were willing to recognize that as an aspect of internet relations, it would be, but like I said, you’re just busy being a smug asshole for no reason other than “ha ha, I was sarcastic and they didn’t get it even though lots of people are actually serious about such thoughts.” You can’t get any more inane than shitting on people for that. It’s the internet, it’s text, you know this, yet still want to be a smarmy smug asshole who thinks you’re clever simply because you weren’t clear. That’s not clever, that’s just being an asshole to people engaging with the content as it was posted. “Ha ha I am so smart for being sarcastic and them not getting it in a textual medium where sarcasm is deeply hard to read” is the actual fucking cringe here, dude.
