    Well what’s nice is that any device on your Tailscale network has a WireGuard connection between any other device on that network. You can also use exit nodes. While all of that can be achieved with WireGuard, the complexity of that can grow quite large as you add more nodes.

  • In the early 00s I pirated a lot of music, but now I buy records and pay for streaming because it’s affordable and good.

    I used to pirate software but now I just use FOSS because it’s free and good.

    I used to pirate games but now I just wait for steam sales, which is cheap and good.

    I used to pirate lots of movies and tv shows but then got a Netflix account and it was reasonably priced and good… until it wasn’t. Then I set up a full stack of usenet/ sonarr/ radarr/ overseer/ Jellyfin and boy oh boy is that good.

    But now I have a baby and don’t watch tv anymore so I pirate pretty much nothing.





  • You’re not dumb you just haven’t needed that use case before.

    Here’s an example of the last time JDownloader saved me. There was a website where people were posting archives of old skateboard videos. There were hundreds of links across dozens of pages in a forum. All links to sites like mega.

    I was able to view all pages in one document and extracted all of the hundreds of links and put them in JDownloader. Over the course of the next several weeks JDownloader was able to manage those downloads without clogging my bandwidth. If a download failed it would notify me and I could retry it.

    Can you imagine trying to do that in Firefox?
