Pirated copies rarely contain any of the extras. Some people actually do watch those.

Well, you are going to have to trust someone to store your offsite backup unless you can afford a second house somewhere. It should be a backup service where you can encrypt the data before uploading it though.

You shouldn't be trusting google to store your photos anyways.

A multi monitor setup would be ideal. Get an OLED for gaming and an LCD for everything else. Text looks bad on OLED monitors because they don't support subpixel antialiasing. Panels and window borders will start to burn into OLEDs after several years, so it's best to save them for gaming and movies.

For an ultrawide monitor, you will definitely want a window manager that supports tiling. KDE supports basic tiling functions and there are plugins to make it better.

The latency of RAM has been around 10ns for the last couple decades. The latency of a good NVMe SSD is about 1000 times worse than RAM.

There's lots of demand for large drives, it's mostly for enterprise drives though.

It wasn't that long ago when RAM had similar transfer speeds.

With PCIe 6, consumer grade SSDs shouldn't need more than a single lane. That will be nice since AMD and Intel have been pretty skimpy with the PCIe lanes lately.

There's musikcube if you're looking for a terminal based player.

It still can't sort or browse by album artist, which makes it a real pain to use. You have to apply a patch and compile it from source to make it usable.

uBlock works fine in Firefox and its forks.

uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock are still free.

Zonemider is accessed through a web interface. Just enable HTTPS and put a lets encrypt certificate on the web server. Of course if you don't have a publicly accessible IP address, things get more complicated since you will need a VPN or some sort of tunnel.

You could install ZoneMinder and set it up with your webcam. It will do recording and basic motion detection. You don't have to mess with any docker stuff, it just needs a recent version of Debian or Ubuntu. If you want to access it from a phone, I would suggest using the zmNinja app since the web UI sucks on mobile.

Some actual CCTV IP cameras would be better than a webcam if you can still find any that provide an RTSP stream and don't require any of that cloud crap.

How recent does the printer have to be for them to do this?
The two that I have are old and the toner cartridges don't even have a chip in them, so I doubt they could tell if the toner is 3rd party.

There's NetSurf, which is really lightweight for a graphical browser. There's also Falkon and Otter Browser. They are more capable, but use more resources.

I didn't even know it was still around. I stopped using it when microsoft bought it.

One way to find a private tracker is to monitor /r/OpenSignups. I would suggest using the RSS feed so you can get notified of new posts. Most trackers are only open for a short time. Don't bother with the new trackers that constantly pop up, they don't have enough users to maintain a good ratio easily. Be sure to get into TorrentLeech next time they open signups, that's a good general purpose tracker and it's very easy to maintain your ratio there.

Another way is to get into MyAnonaMouse, Orpheus, or Redacted through an interview and use the invites forum to get into other trackers.

There are unofficial qBittorrent search plugins for some private trackers. If you can't find a plugin for the tracker you want, you could always use Jackett.

Torrent Galaxy has been rather unreliable since it changed owners. I would keep an eye out for open signups on any decent private trackers.

Why let the streaming services tell you what you can or can't watch videos on when you can just pirate everything?

An SDR is not a signal jammer and the flipper zero can't clone a rolling code remote.
