1y 6mon ago in piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.comIn my experience, Yandex has always been better for piracy than any other search engine.

1y 7mon ago in buttcoin@awful.systemsI made the "what happens with the child porn stored in the blockchain" question and the guy didn't know what I was talking about. I'm waiting for the video to go up live to contact some of the people financing this and ask them if they're comfortable with that.

1y 11mon ago in privacy@lemmy.mlIn Spain at least I have two small alternatives to this:
- Paypal (I don't like it too much, but it works fine).
- A prepaid credit card offered through my bank. Good for sites that don't look too trustworthy but I need to buy from. I just activate it, load it with whatever amount I need, I make the transaction, then disable it again. Even if it gets leaked no one can take any money out.
For everything else I have a virtual credit card number that's not dynamic, but at least it's something I use exclusively for online stuff.
Here you get a debit card by default with your bank account, and that one's free. You might get a credit one, but credit limits are typically low. I lived in Canada for 9 years and by the time I left I had a CC with a limit of 26k CAD. Here my Spanish credit card has a limit of 1.2k euros, and I've had it for quite a long time.
In Spain at least there's quite a lot of confusion with this. People call any card type a "credit card", even debit ones.

2y 10d ago in piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.comI'm not completely sure. Sometimes I find stuff in one site I don't find in any of the other two. Also, I don't know how often catalogues are synced.
Yes. I combine libgen with Anna's Archive and Z-Library and there's very, very little I can't find.
Combine that with KOReader and this is pure bliss.
