Yeah my TV will never get internet access again. Using my computer with my TV as a screen is way better.

I have a couple of external USB drives I bought on sale I backup my NAS to once a week. It’ll protect against drive failure at least. Almost got hit by ransomware a while back so I don’t keep anything on there without some backup.

I’ve tried it. I like the idea of Tor for torrents, you don’t need a VPN to torrent. But found the speeds to be really bad and the content was a fraction of the clearnet trackers. Might check it out again though it’s been a while.

Yes me too. As bad as humanity seems sometimes, always good to remind yourself of the kindness from the likes of seeders in OP.

They want you to buy their new games. They also want you to be more likely to buy the old games again when they eventually do a sloppy re-release of the old games or tie it to increase the value of their subscription offerings. Basically to make more money.

Thanks for reminding me. Yeah I need to backup my ROM library of old games. Got most of them from Vimm’s lair earlier this year. They had to take down a lot of the games shortly after cause threats of law suit from Nintendo, Sega among others. It’s just absurd many of the games on there are not even available legally anymore.
