I use this filter in ublock to remove them: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt.

These things are very privacy invading, many of them have information that can identify the users. I don't think douglasg14b knows what he is talking about. Yes they are query parameters, but they are used for many things such as advertisment for example or referrals, I think it is fine to remove query parameters that are not necessary.

Sometimes the website sends sensitive data through query strings which is a common security issue.

I remember reading about Gumroad it used to be mostly for NSFW art, but they did a Tumblr and banned it. Maybe this is related to the loss of revenue.

Edit: found the article

Yeah I noticed that qbittorrent doesn't get me peers only i2psnark, but i2psnark is an awful client.

I only found out when I saw a setting for I2P in qbittorrent, I went and researched about them.

How is it compared to private trackers?

What do you mean enclosed system? There are I2P trackers.

tracker2.postman.i2p

It is harder to use than Tor though. Qbittorrent also supports I2P.

Anytime.The trick is to use google to search reddit. Reddit has a very crappy search function you can't find anything. I always just go to google to search reddit. By the way I would suggest using Ali express it has cheap IPTV from what I heard.

For example:

Look at the Q/A.

Thanks, I used to pay for netflix, but no one in the household watched it, they wanted stuff that it's not on netflix or got removed. More streaming services popped up and it wasn't worth paying for it anymore. Even with three indexers lifetime and drunkenslug and an ultimate provider and two blocks. I feel over the years it is cheaper than netflix, the lifetimes will pay for themselves and the blocks don't expire. I only pay $2.5 per month for the ultimate. Netflix used to be good when it was the only streaming service and they weren't cancelling every good show.

Never used srrdb does it just list warez releases, also it is missing a lot of releases.

It was a new movies that came out 5 days before I started to download it, in the end I had to go to torrrent galaxy and it only had one or two releases for it, good quality though. It would probably download okay if I put it on Radarr before it was released, so it would pick it up before it got taken down. I NTD block to complement my DMCA ultimate provider lets see how it goes. Funny enough I decided to go check IRC which I haven't opened for years and found the exact release that got taken down in Usenet.

I used this (https://www.xdcc.eu/), I don't think they care about IRC as much as Usenet and torrent.
