    New game comes out

    It’s super popular

    No money

    Attempt to pirate it

    Get nothing in search results but shit talking about a horse. No downloads or anything.

    Where the hell do I get a torrent for Elden Ring and not just ?

      Get the FOMO out of yourself. Let the games pass a 6 months old test to check them up after the marketing and the hype turned down and see if the game is worth your time. You even get to play them after they were tested and the bugs had been solved.

      95% of the super popular games end being ok or meh after 6 months.

      • It was a joke about the horse in Elden Ring being named Torrent so searching “Elden Ring torrent” just results primarily in info about the horse. lol

        And also it’s Elden Ring. The game is still super fucking good even after 3 years. 🤷‍♂️

          Also Elden Ring was pirated pretty much at launch because of how simple and outdated FromSoft’s DRM practice are.

        Well in the movie he has super powers, so his vision no longer needs correction. So his own glasses actually are detrimental to his vision. It doesn’t make perfect sense, but that’s what’s depicted. Typically people do not honor this relationship, but OP did, which I find heartening.

    Yep – despite the death of Blockbuster et al., I still choose to 'rent my content. Pay no mind to the appearance of the apostrophe. Truth be told, I’d still be willing to pay for video rental if they didn’t choose to overcharge for HD versions. 3-4 € for a single watch of the film in blu-ray quality 4k would be perfectly reasonable, however the platform locks (no Linux etc.) due to DRM make that option not viable even if it did exist, as I don’t have any devices that could consume the content.

    bind the client, but also be sure that it’s locked down to force everything to go through the VPN as well

    preferrably with a VPN that will continue blocking traffic even if the entire VPN client is closed

        Or if you’re running qBittorrent (either the full version or the server-only one which is probably best for a server machine) you can just bind it to the network device of the VPN (in Tools->Options->Advanced->Network Interface) and it will only ever run over that interface so when the VPN is down it won’t upload or download because that network interface is not present.

        This actually makes much more sense in a Pi since the qBittorrent server-only version installed directly without a container is way lighter than the Docker version and can be managed remotely via a web interface so it will leave a lot more free resources in an SBC like the Pi.

      I use a VPN for the full subnet, plus VPN server so I can access it all when traveling.

      Not as instant as Netflix, but a much wider catalog.
