Private trackers are small, uninteresting targets. Even the big private trackers have less users in total than you can find in individual public swarms.

If you’re going to include a bunch of screenshots of text, it might be a good idea to not compress them till they’re unreadable. Maybe even use PNGs?

It’s pretty late, so I might be missing something. However, neither of those groups seems to be releasing netflix content? The first does bluray remuxes on HDB (a private tracker). I don’t think they directly release anything on public trac

No, this appears to be some even less relevant (hard to imagine, amirite?) trackers stealing content from IPT.

Dude, I know exactly how not hard it is because I have done so. The fact remains, zero scene groups figured this out.

Why hate private trackers? That’s where all the good quality content on public trackers comes from. Without private trackers, it’s not obvious that anyone would have bothered to extract Widevine keys and set up decryption pipelines for all

Because your torrent client will never find those dedicated servers, and instead wastes all of it’s connection slots on the Indian residential connections. Also because there’s no incentive for anybody to seed public tracker content on serv

This is not correct, swarms on good private sites are way better than on public trackers. With real world torrent clients, you’d much rather have a swarm with 100 dedicated servers on 1gbps+ connections than a swarm with a million Indian

None of these are major (private) torrent sites, torrentfreak is just hyping up bullshit as usual. Just looking at the filenames makes it obvious that these can’t be from any major private tracker, there’s no way BTN or the likes would ac

So what? Vast majority of transactions don’t benefit from the vast speed advantages cryptocurrencies offer. Bank transfers are perfectly fine if you’re happy to wait a few days for the money to arrive. What’s the point of moving goalposts

There are multiple cash desks in Kiev processing millions worth of transactions every day. You can easily send 100k from anywhere in the world and have it cashed out within the hour. > to be able to rescue your money, you need to find so

This story reeks. It’s extremely difficult to believe that there was “intense legal wrangling” as the article claims. Odds are that SBFs lawyers offered to waive extradition in exchange for the government not opposing bail, and the govern

Epstein killed himself, nobody covered it up. Why are you polluting HN with baseless conspiracy theories like this?

Perhaps there were no more people to charge? This was probably mostly Epstein’s and Maxwells private hobby, they presumably did not go around advertising the fact that the girls were underage.

Ghislaine Maxwell was specifically charged with trafficking children to Epstein.

This attack is nothing new, has been endlessly discussed by the grapheneos team. An accelerometer is just a shitty microphone, even a camera can be a shitty microphone.
