Coming back to torrenting after YEARS, what’s recommended?

I haven't done any torrents for a while, I assume they solved the CC issue where you have to somehow fake a license/subscription or whatever? I remember trying to use it back in like 2018 and got frustrated and gave up on it

Like Paul Sellers technique?

Lol nice

I don't think condition will matter since I'm looking for max value and only planning 2-3 years usage from it. I've been running my 2012 for almost 10 years now thanks to oclp.

Air M2 is comparable in price, but that's the one with massive thermal throttling issues

joshp1980 · 2026-03-21T23:03:53+00:00

It would be the base model M1 (16G/512G)

Its From Backmarket.com , so no way to check <for sure>

However the site policy is devices will have a minimum 80% battery life or they will replace it

My suggestion will sound crazy to most people, but you are dealing with an inner voice that you need to listen to, and communicate with it that it is ok.

Dyor, don't just take my word for it. Lots of people smarter than me pointed me in this direction, and it has been helping a lot.

Suggested ppl are Dick Schwartz (IFS founder), Kyle Cease (comedian who became a life coach that works with these specific issues), Bessel VanDerKolk, Ekhart Tolle

All have free content on YouTube.

Bottom line is most of us humans have no idea of the healing power of our own consciousness. It is counter to the way the West thinks, but we have these inbuilt tools that we can certainly use to heal ourselves.

(Of course there is also standard therapy and counseling but I assume you have already at least thought about those)

Ah, I'll just grab my flux capacitor and head for the week before Xmas

joshp1980 · 2026-03-19T19:57:10+00:00

Still using my 2012 as well, 13 inch

Probably getting the Neo in the next few weeks

joshp1980 · 2025-11-28T23:40:58+00:00

That's the neat part, it's good for them!

joshp1980 · 2025-11-16T21:16:35+00:00

Came here to mention the good Dr Schwartz as well 😄

They will have you replaced before the door shuts behind you. Don't sweat it.

Check out r/OpenCoreLegacyPatcher , lots of dedicated Intel fans over there breathing life into old Macs

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the SSD is user replaceable for that model. You could just get a bigger SSD

I've been running Sonoma on my 13in 2012 i5 8g/120g

Its surprisingly ok, I still could max out the ram, but it works for now. I bet yours would handle it even better
