But I'd be lying if I said my mind is freed of these thoughts, although I know I would just not go there. There are a lot of things that stop me. And it's so difficult for me to explain this. I'm strong, I know that. I have to be stronger, I know that too. I'm constantly working on that, on me. But I'm also really tired, and I always think about death, and I wish for my life to be short, because I don't want to be here. Typing this made me break down a bit. Thank you for the kind words! It is greatly appreciated.

You will often struggle with older content and so on.
I would recommend anybody interested in torrenting to find their way into private trackers. I mean, considering we're in an invite only website, I don't feel like I gotta explain how much better private trackers are. What you see on public trackers lands on private trackers first, and more often than not, that content ends up being butchered in many ways (i.e. bad movie/show encodes). Not to mention how easy it is to run into malware when it comes to downloading apps. It's just better in a lot of ways on the other side.
A good place to find your way in is on /r/OpenTrackers. We'll probably see a couple openings this week because of this shutdown.
EDIT: Sorry, I meant /r/OpenSignups.

Comment on Another one bites the dust! RARBG abruptly shuts down in ~tech
Immortal LinkHello guys,
We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site.
The past 2 years have been very difficult for us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications,
others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all.
Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES.
Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe hit us pretty hard.
Inflation makes our daily expenses impossible to bare.
Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket.
After an unanimous vote we've decided that we can no longer do it.
We are sorry :(
Bye -

What's the best way to save/store money?
Lately I've been thinking about withdrawing most if not all my money off the bank and investing in a safe box, but I'm not sure how wise of a decision that is. How does everyone here go about...
Lately I've been thinking about withdrawing most if not all my money off the bank and investing in a safe box, but I'm not sure how wise of a decision that is. How does everyone here go about that? Do you keep your money in the bank? Do you have a safe box at home? Why one over the other? Do you invest some of it, say in things like cryptocurrencies/stocks? What would you recommend or advice someone to do in regards to this if you could?

Probably my fault for adding no context to it, I thought people were familiar for the most part...Lol, I posted this here on the day she released her latest crack but it was deleted quick.

I don't remember how it happened or what I did after it, I just recall my webcam turning on without me doing anything that would cause it and the person who did it was actually speaking to me and threatening me with things. I think this ended up making me quite paranoid or something. It opened me up to the world of hacking and I guess I learned a lot about security, privacy and so on. To this day I'm still learning and practicing.

Comment on Which web browser do you use? in ~tech
Immortal LinkSo this will probably sound crazy but I have a bunch of web browsers installed on my PC. I just like to try them all. I mainly use Firefox though.

Everything else:
Firefox Developer Edition
LibreWolf
Tor Browser
SeaMonkey
Waterfox
Brave
VivaldiThere may be some others that I've forgotten. This is on Windows. On Linux, I just have Firefox. On my Android too which also comes with Chromium by default (GrapheneOS).
Whatever I do, I always come back to Firefox. It's just superior and the best there is. If you're not bothered to mess around with its settings to "harden" it and whatnot, you can't go wrong with LibreWolf. It does most if not all that stuff by default, and in a way it's similar to Brave.
LibreWolf and Brave are both browsers I'd install for anyone on the go, or when I'm not using my own computers and I'd like to do whatever online. To this day people always trip out when they realize they never have to face ads again anywhere.

Languish Arts / Woeful Studies by Ka is my second favorite this year. They're released as separate albums (on the same day) but I'm sorta counting them as one.

Comment on Lupe Fiasco presents “Rap Theory & Practice: an Introduction” in ~music
Immortal Link“Rap Theory & Practice: an Introduction” is an exploration into the underlying fundamental functions, structures, and principles of rap.
Wasalu Jaco, professionally known as Lupe Fiasco, is a Chicago-born, Grammy award-winning American rapper, record producer, entrepreneur, and community advocate. Rising to fame in 2006, following the success of his debut album Food & Liquor, Lupe has released eight acclaimed studio albums, his latest being Drill Music In Zion, released in June 2022. His efforts to propagate conscious material garnered recognition as a Henry Crown Fellow, and he is a recipient of an MLK Visiting Professorship at MIT for the 2022/2023 academic year.
No, but I will be... I think! Fingers crossed.
