My ISP sends me letters even if I am torrenting on VPN. Is there anyway to make my traffic not look like torrenting?

I don't think that's how it works; you don't just somehow get money because your ISP is being stupid. Maybe if, through years of expensive legal battles, you could demonstrate some damages and get a favorable ruling, but not because you have a recording of some incompetent customer service rep saying "don't torrent".

Also, be careful about taking advice about recording people from random people on the internet. A responsible person should tell you that different states have different laws around potentially requiring you to inform other parties that you're recording them. You'd feel pretty silly suing your ISP based on a recording that was actually illegally created.

Endeavour OS looking sexy

Reply in thread

I really enjoy EndeavourOS, even as someone who considers themselves a Fedora homer.

It's by far the best experience I've had with Arch. User-friendly without holding your hand, with all the positives of Arch and AUR

Who do I vote to end the suffering of the people in Palestine? Get universal healthcare? Decriminalize cannabis at the federal level? Ban new oil and gas leases? Revoke fossil fuel subsidies and tax breaks?

Always being willing to hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils ensures that nothing will change. You'll always have the choice of bad and worse, and the best you'll ever be able to hope for is table scraps instead of transformative, positive change. That's not a system I'm going to prolong with my participation.

David Ornstein: Arsenal have now reached full agreement with Ajax to sign Jurrien Timber

Say what you will about the owners, but I have been so impressed with how the club has been operating over the last few years. The serious squad overhaul that they've been working on was so needed, and they've executed it with savvy and sophistication.

They may miss on individual players here and there, which is normal, but the overarching strategy that they're executing has been 10/10
