Hey there! I’m looking to pirate sports and streaming services that I can’t afford. Could you please explain in simple terms of how to do this on an iPhone, iMac, iPad, and Apple TV? I’m really exhausted and my brain is blank. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

    First, you buy an eye patch. And maybe some small and energy efficient computer. A Raspberry Pi 5 might even be enough for your first steps. Or maybe some small form-factor PC. Then you install Linux on there and follow one of the various guides for Linux.

    I’m really exhausted

    We all are!

      I was looking into getting raspberry pi to make a home server for data storage and jellyfin but it’s similar price to a notebook. I’ll see if there will be some cheap notebooks since windows 10 is ending, the only problem would be how to connect HDDs to it since through USB it would be slow I assume.

        Unless you’re doing multiple 4k streams from the same HDD, neither the HDD nor the USB connection will be the limiting factor. However, depending on how many drives you plan on adding, the USB-hub and cable management will get messy eventually.

    Not so fast sailor! Do this first

    ✔️ Recommended: Use Firefox + uBlock Origin.
    Firefox is the top non-Chromium browser, offering nice security and privacy features. It also boasts the best compatibility with uBlock Origin for effectively blocking ads and other harmful web content.
✔️ Recommended: Change your DNS settings.
    DNS can enhance the browsing experience by increasing speed and bypassing restrictions, as your Internet Service Provider (ISP) usually offers a slower default DNS that may censor websites according to their preferences.
🧲 For torrenting: Install a reputable torrent client such as qBittorrent.
    Torrent client is a separate program that is essential for downloading files via torrent files, which is a method distinct from direct downloads.
🧲 For torrenting: Set up a VPN network such as AirVPN or ProtonVPN.
    VPN enhances online privacy and security by encrypting the connection and masking the IP address, making it ideal for torrenting as it protects your identity, and allows access to restricted content.
🧲 For torrenting: Bind the torrent client to the VPN interface.
    Ensures torrenting only happen when the VPN is active, lowering the chances of a leak of the IP address to essentially zero.

      I have no clue I’m new to pirating.

      I’ve just licked the boot and paid for a subscription but those days are over for me.
