To answer your question directly: No idea.

Of tangential importance to your question: Apparently TPB has been considered untrustworthy for a number of years, probably since it "returned" after the original crew behind it did a stint in Swedish prison. Infected torrents have been found there and the "skull" ratings mean very little.

I admittedly dont do a ton of sailing, but yeah I feel like avoiding TPB has been recommended for at least a decade now

1337x, torrentgalaxy, nyaa(anime), rutracker(music) and btdig(everything) should cover all your needs.

didn't torrentgalaxy die due to lack of funding?

[-] redsand@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago

Torrentgalaxy.one seems functional

[-] Sentry64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Huh, i thought it died because last time i tried accessing it. It was completely nonexistent (for some reason) and after, what? a few months or so? it disappeared from FMHY.

Oh that’s adorable, you think you are untouchable. Please look into the XZ incident and get back to us.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, yeah. Only mostly untouchable.

The point is Linux lets you do things, even stupid things. It cuts both ways. The average user isn’t more secure there, the attacks are just different.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

But 99% of the problems can be avoided if you just don't do stupid things.

Translation: Linux is secure if you don’t let stupid people use it.
