    To be fair, you should have no expectation of privacy when in public. You’re constantly being recorded when in public whether you know it or not. If you keep this mindset then you can take steps to secure what little privacy is possible. Masks, hats, and IR blocking eyeglass lenses or sunglasses would be my protocol. And mindfully avoiding unscrupulous cameras. Also don’t discredit the power of blending in, become an unnoticeable object that blends into the background.

    In private, if a friend was wearing them, you should have more expectation of privacy and should voice the concerns to the friend. And if they don’t care then walk away, they’re not a good friend anyways.



  • How do you feel about seeding? Are you prone to hit and runs? I’m a member of a popular private tracker and they have strict seeding requirements. If you’re not ready to abide by ratio rules (seeding as much or more than you download) then don’t bother looking for invites until you can accommodate long term seeding.

    Also be aware there are client configuration requirements too, like disabling DHT.

    In order to get invited, an existing member has to invite you and that comes with risks for the existing member. If you get invited and end up being shitty it reflects poorly on the inviter and they could possibly be banned themselves.
