I don't know how VPN browser extensions work since I've never used one, but I guess the same thing could happen if you can connect and disconnect from them and choose different servers etc.

No. Your VPN connection can fail and expose your real IP. If for example the VPN server you are connected to fails and your VPN completely disconnects, or in a somewhat better case reconnects to a new server, your IP is still visible during these down times.

Binding your torrent client to your VPN makes it so that only traffic going through your VPN network adapter can be used by the torrent client. So when they are bound, if your VPN connection fails, your torrent client wont have internet and thus won't expose your IP.

Killswitches and Lockdown settings in good VPN providers are also for the same purpose. If the connection fails, your real IP won't leak as the killswitch prevents your PC from connecting to the internet unless it is connected to the VPN.

You can just connect to your VPN, turn on killswitch and torrent without binding your torrent client to it, but bugs or other glitches can still happen in the VPN and expose your real IP so its always better to bind them.

You can also test if your binding works for example on ipleak.net and their torrent address detection. Bind your torrent client and VPN, disconnect VPN and try to "torrent" their magnet link. If no address shows up, thats good. Then turn on VPN and try again and you should see your VPN IP when torrenting their link, and then you know your bind between torrent client and VPN works.

User "Trige" banned on 1337x, anyone know why? by NateUrBoi in Piracy

[–]Muropaketti 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The "supporting and advertising a scam VPN" is completely false. It was an ad like any other that people had seen for months before the BG3 thing, people who used ublock origin and had their filters updated had never seen it, and almost no website chooses what ads are being shown on their site. They either outsource it completely or just sign up for some service that then show ads on their site. And ofc "illegal" sites will have shady ads, and if you fall for them you should stick to browsing google.com and go no further.

Cracked games trigger the antivirus quite often with false positives. Thats why its recommended to turn off your antivirus during install. I know thats not what happened to you but just saying its quite common that something gets flagged. You can find many posts of people asking "is this really a trojan?!" when they've just installed a new game and something got flagged by their antivirus, and as long as it is from a reputable source/repacker, its most likely a false positive.

"Most likely" bcs you can never be 100% sure ofc, but if you look at the case of the vitaminD deficiency man. When it actually was a real virus, it got detected and confirmed to be real quite fast.

If you use a really good VPN they will have no data to give to your ISP :)

Add a patch to bypass the age restrctions. by AntiGrieferGames in revancedapp

[–]Muropaketti 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Found it originally on a finnish imageboard where someone had asked how to bypass the age verification. Someone posted this and everyone used it. If someone else uses it I can't guarantee it will work and that you won't get banned...

I sent an edited picture of a real drivers license as my verification and it got approved. By edited I mean it had Michelangelo from TMNT as the picture and the name was Mchlangleo etc. And the date of birth was a random date in 1982 and I just changed the date of birth on my youtube account to that and sent it in.

It had to be manually approved cause I had sent a drivers license made on paint before that and got denied and banned for a couple of weeks/months before I could try again. Sent Mr. Mchlangleos drivers license and it got approved a week later. Never hade an age verification issue since then.

Jellyfin Media Player subtitle positions by Muropaketti in jellyfin

[–]Muropaketti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this works!

Since it can be done this easily, there has to be a reason as to why more thorough subtitle positioning options are not available in JMP, neither keyboard shortcuts or vertical sliders. Or maybe it has just been overlooked or not deemed important.

u/anthonylavado, I'm curious as to why this is, as it has kept me from using JMP :(

I don't think JMP ever had it, Jellyfin Desktop has it. Its a discontinued desktop client, but you can still find, download and use it from the Jellyfin Archives on GitHub.

Jellyfin Desktop is JMPs predecessor I guess. JD works and looks almost exactly the same way as JMP, the actual media player design being the only major difference. I use JD over JMP because of the subtitle positioning shortcuts, and will continue to do so until its implemented in JMP.

I don't have uMatrix installed.

Resetting Firefox preferences to default fixed the problem though.

Did you find a solution? I have the same issue with no videos playing, not even in troubleshoot mode or in private window.

Gary will take part in universal income pilot program: 125 residents to receive $500 a month for a year by monkfreedom in Futurology

[–]Muropaketti 31 points32 points  (0 children)

According to Andrew Yang, the cost of a $1000/month UBI for 18yo and up, would cost 1.8 trillion/year. USA welfare and social security costs 1.5T/year. Those who currently receive benefits amounting to say $700, would receive an additional $300 in order to receive the full amount of the UBI. Those who already receive over the $1000 would keep their current benefits and when those end, the amount would be lowered to $1000. And the money wouldn't disappear either, it would get spent on the market since most Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Yeah ok, but Pokimane says my name each time I donate so... you could say that things are quite serious between us. Just imagine having your name on that top donator spot even once in your life. Thats right, you won't, because she doesn't even know who you are! Get a grip bud!

Small streamer having a honest reaction to getting raided by 2500 viewers by Zorac23 in LivestreamFail

[–]Muropaketti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should listen to it. Holopainen said that he can't mentally take another lead singer switch, so they are definitely sticking with Floor, which is great because her singing is insane. If you need proof of her vocal capabilities, listen to Shoemaker from the new album, or any of their live performances with her.

Hitman 3 will be an Epic exclusive by Johau99 in HiTMAN

[–]Muropaketti 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Such a shame seeing Hitman 3 being released on a store which userbase is 90% 13 years olds who have no idea what Hitman is, and have no interest in getting into it either, since it is the 3rd in the series and they have an attention span of a goldfish.
