I paid a one-time fee years ago for Adobe Premiere Pro, but when they moved to subscription-based service I lost access to my old edition of Premiere. It's like pulling teeth, I get so close but I'm so far.

Howdy maties, what seedbox providers do you use and what should be avoided when looking for one?

I want to get rid of my vps and get a dedicated seedbox, they seem to come nowadays with one click installs and the sorts, a vpn would be nice to have if needed, what do you look for when choosing a provider?

So...yeah. Looking at file size, it clearly beats older 264 or even 265. I don't mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients, I think the size difference in size might be worth it. But not sure which groups I could focus to look for these AV1 releases, seem they're quite scarce still?

I'm new to Soulseek, just downloaded a bunch of music I like. I want to not be a leach and give back to the community by sharing the things I downloaded, however Mullvad doesn't allow port forwarding. Is it possible to share files on Soulseek without having open ports? Does everyone who shares stuff on Soulseek use no VPN/a VPN with port forwarding?

Since the Plex announcement that their integration with tidal is ending, I'm considering what my options are. I'm aware the the *arrs but is there anything that will recommend music?

What do all you die hard pirates do to discover new bands?

It seems animesuge.to, anix.to and aniwave.to closed down with the exact same message, though there may be a few other sites that closed down in a similar way.

I've never known so many shutdowns inside 2 weeks as the last two have been. Even websites pirating manga were shut down. What happened? What's with this massive legal wave of shutdowns, and why now?

Not sure if I used the correct terms but what is the difference in security and privacy between downloading from a public wifi (or a closed wifi; with password) and mobile hotspot (sharing 4G/5G data from your phone to your computer)? Which one is recommended or does it not matter?

I know of my anime list and anilist and using the MALsync extension but i cant find a website with an extension that has both anime and non anime shows

Is this as much of a pain in the ass as I remember? Do I still need to patch the download and then block Adobe in my hosts file, or has the process changed?

The last time I tried to do this, I actually found zero torrents that worked. All of them gave you keys that had long since been banned by Adobe. I'm on Mac if it matters.

Anyone in here know anything about this? I posted this morning, but that vanished. Odd.

I think a common factor on why torrents are having a resurgence and illegal streaming services are getting more traction, is subscription fatigue. Subscription fatigue doesn't only contain itself to streaming services, movies or music, nowadays you're also expected to subscribe to every app you download. Whether it's a meditation app, a budgeting app (looking at YNAB that went from a one-time purchase to a really expensive subscription model), the Adobe suite, the MS Office suite, your Peloton bike that you've already paid hundreds of dollars for (referencing the earlier article on them establishing a startup fee for buying used bikes), or a podcast app where the money doesn't even go to the podcasters themselves.

Is there a peak for this? I feel like subscriptions are becoming more of a rule than an exception. Having the ability to directly purchase digital goods seems more like a thing of the past. It's just so stupid. But apparently people don't care? They just keep paying for this? Apparently it's still worth it for companies to establish a subscription model, even if there are no benefits for the customer, just the company. What are your thoughts? What can we do to stop it?

Basically the title 👆, but I'm mostly interested in any of these; Axel Armani EA automation bot, Alpha Striker SMC King V2, FundedEA Deluxe, FXCrusher TradePilot, and Blue Edge Titan X. Feel free to recommend any others.

Thx in advance!

Most of the time I'm able to find the games I want, but now that I can finally afford a Vita and will be ordering one at the end of the month and homebrewing it, I realize I don't have any games except for PSP and PS1. The sites I know of that are safe don't seem to carry them. Not even nyaa outside of a couple of random things. So help?
