  • More of a generic answer as I don’t know the situation there, so hopefully someone local will come around and chime in.

    Unfortunately we live in a world where it doesn’t take much money for the movie/music industry corporations to sway the politicians in any country.

    So what may be legal today, could very well not be a week, month or year from now and you’d want to stay on top of news like that.

    As a general rule of thumb, I’d suggest using a solid VPN, if you’re uncertain about the consequences. I switched Mullvad (would I recommend it? Sure, but only if you’re ready to actually pay for it) and used to use Nordvpn (it’s ok, seems to have become bloated, but sometimes with cashback deals it’s essentially free) and there are plenty more out there depending on your level of comfort in quality of service they actually provide.

    Now if someone can confirm what the situation is actually like, it could be anything from “I’m gonna need a n-th NAS with xxx TB capacity to seed all this” through “oh no, another email from my ISP, I need to setup a filter to send these to trash directly” to “who’s that knocking on my door at this time of the day”. In the end it all comes down to your appetite for risk.












  • I posted that I liked voyager, though it’s missing some features that are in sync (most importantly to me, being able to block community without visiting it) may have been me I guess?

    I don’t care for the formatting stuff, I rarely post, but thunder has the above mentioned so that’s nice. What I instantly hated about thunder after trying it just now was that I can’t scroll back up a feed without it jumping posts in a weird way. Not entirely sure what the problem is but it’s very distracting.

    I’ll try put thunder for a bit, guess I’ll just need to show funny stuff to my wife as soon as I see it rather than trying to scroll back up to it, until I can figure out why it’s doing it or it gets resolved with an update.

    Edit: well that’s bizarre, just opened thunder again after posting this from voyager and I’m not getting the scroll backup issue.

    I’ve stuck with sync since July or whenever it was released and got the $20 adremoval thing. Switched to voyager about a month back now and, inspite of missing a few nice to have features, I now wish I had spent the money donating to them instead.

    I might keep an eye of sync updates, but it’s a bit of joke at this point.
