    It took me years to get into my preferred tracker. Indeed interviewing with a tracker that had open interviews was the way I got my foot in the door. After you get into your first tracker you need to follow their rules, build a good ratio, and upload some torrents to gain access to their invites forum. Get invites to other trackers to gain access to their different set of invites, repeat until you've reached your target tracker.

    Sometimes trackers can be very paranoid and will deactivate or limit your account if you invite someone that has an IP that implies you don’t know the invitee in person. It’s often a strict stipulation that invites aren’t given out so freely.

    I was thinking of a locking and rotating cuff around one of the ends that selects the voltage. But that increases the manufacturing cost significantly.

    Also if you have two GPUs on hand you can run Windows in a VM with GPU pass through. Although it’s possible some anti cheats won’t like running in a VM.

    I'm not an expert here. I do have some first-hand experience getting non-compliant and mentally unwell people to leave a space, and the key there was being both annoying and patient.

    I think if you are willing to wait them out they eventually can't do anything but leave. Don't corner them. Make escape easy. I also suspect the social effect of seeing a solid block of thousands of people asking you to leave will help. You'd need good leadership. When people self-organize and ask ICE to leave it ends with aggressive people screaming in their faces, threatening them with their bodies, and escalating towards greater responses of violence.

    I'd much prefer this to the alternative where people show up armed and ready to fight. What happens when they call the bluff? Are you going to start a mass casualty event? Massive non-violent actions leave you with a cause more people are willing to join. More people need to practice pacifist anarchy.

    I’d say his channel is an example of private equity not ruining something. The style has changed a bit, maybe in a way that people won’t like, but the content is still good.

    The huge crowds of people I’ve seen marching in Minneapolis should escort ICE out of their city. Protesters have been saying things and shown up, but actually doing something will get people to feel the agency they need to keep going.

    They can do this non-violently. What else are you going to do when you have 100,000 walking you out of a city and holding a perimeter?

    My guess is that at worst you’ll need to install a mod that removes whatever client-side restrictions they add for the law. This will probably hook into the existing “secure profiles” feature that servers can opt out of - and we are opted out.

    Do as you want but I recommend you don’t comply with unethical (and impossible to enforce) laws like this. If you’re really worried about how your Minecraft chat isn’t blessed by the government consider that neither are your communications on Tildes. They’re just trying to rack up “wins” by targeting larger platforms like Minecraft.

    Mullvad is the only good one. They don’t have any information on you. They assign you a random number and that’s your username and password. They don’t auto-renew subscriptions, instead offering you the ability to set up a calendar reminder. You can even just mail them cash to Sweden with your account number noted on a piece of paper. Their software works well on all types of devices. The client is FOSS. Their 3rd party audits usually go like this “Holy shit we’ve never seen anything this legit before. They really don’t know anything about their customers.” IIRC their VPN servers don’t even have storage installed.
