Fuck Twitter for doing this shit. Musk should just jump in a hole with all his money as we bury him with it, Sunset Riders style.

All addons don't won't work on any Addon/extension page, across all browsers. I don't know why, but if I had to take an educated guess, it's so extensions can't make you download malware addons.

That said, on firefox, you can enable any extention to have thar privilege.

I'd rather not use products made by companies that influence voters and led to a genocide. Sorry I have moral standard.

Enjoy Facebook.

Programming languages isn't adware made by a company that has horrible track records for respecting privacy. If you love Facebook so much, stay there and take your sealioning with you.

I personally use AirVPN. I detest the software client. It's open source at least, but it feels like it was made for Windows XP and just ported forward.

That said, it supports Wireguard, so making my rpi log into the VPN anytime it goes offline is simple. Same for my laptop and phone.

Decent rates, good ways of dealing with per-device things, easy to lend the account to people who need a VPN, and often has sales.

I have tried a seedbox before, but the bottleneck is the last mile of my home internet. I just have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ hooked onto my router via ethernet. I just log onto qBittorrent and tell it to go as I sleep, and turn it off when I wake up. The downloading is done already onto a spare laptop drive I have, and then I watch it via Jellyfin or sneakernet it over to a friend.

I won't say a seedbox is useless, I think it's great, but due to how my living works, it's not great. I've waited several minutes for a few PNGs to download, game updates often take hours. Not even counting how the actual fucking wind slows down my internet, due to the copper wiring being on poles like electricity. And I live in a place with so many windmills due to the natural features of the land creating daily wind storms from 4 PM until 7 AM.

I really do appropriate the advice however!

My internet isnt fast enough, My average download speed for the entire place is maybe 18 MB/s, and 0.5 MB/s upload.

Torrenting helps solve the problem as I can just tell it to download in chunks and then turn it off when I need more leg room on my copper wire internet from 2003 that AT&T doesn't change.

I have some of the slowest speeds where 4G Data is a massive upgrade, so when I need to offload some jpgs to discord or something, its faster if I just send them to my phone and upload that way.

That's it mainly. Port forwarding improves my torrenting enough to where I get better reliability.

Wonderful software, easy payment, great rates, but lack of port forwarding is a major fallback. I understand it was due to a very minor chunk of bad actors, but that minor chunk was hosting CSAM and other horrible internet-accessible things, and no way to track what traffic is where, means they had to remove the feature for the 98% of good faith users.

But I almost refuse to use AirVPN's software. It's so... weird. I'm thankful they support wireguard with zero issues, so I can just use the default network manager and apps for Linux/Android, but that client interface is so backwards compared to Mullvad and iVPN.
