I agree we need to get rid of all the bullshit you mentioned - but I don’t think giving up our anonymity or more gated communities (like facebook, twitter, instgram and all those fucked up places) are the solution.

All good advice. I used to find a lot of stuff by entering “site:rutracker.org” behind my query in my favorite search engine - don’t know if that still works but I never needed an account there…

Remember to donate to them tough - and btw. they are actually running their services for radical left activists, not filesharing… so I guess it would be cool to please not strain their servers too much.

I want to leave Windows behind… abcde seems the way to go for Linux.

On Windows I use EAC, it’s great but requires a little work to set up. There are a lot of tutorials for it if course.

I’d prefer my internet free…
