consists of watermarking the file using* image noise

@jjohnson84uk-0 there is a technique called steganography, which consists of watermarking the file image noise, that is, slightly alterating the value of specific pixels, so it is completely spotless and only the person who encoded it has the password to decode it.

For images it is a very simple process, but for videos it's super tricky, complex and expensive.

Chances are that adult sites use stenography for pictures, but for videos the most likely way that they use to track the user ID would be video metadata and file names.

So if you decide to share, I'd advise you to skip the pictures, only share the videos. And before doing that, use ExifTool to get rid of all metadata, and rename every file.

@flyboy8v2 I think it's a natural progression to move away from that format because, as you said, with the internet being the main medium to deliver content, it becomes viable to produce individual scenes.

Back when DVD was a mainstream medium, studios were more considerate about it when producing the scenes. Nowadays plot-oriented porn is rare, and the production value is much lower compared to 20 years ago.

I think Titan Media has moved away from that format, their last feature film was released in 2022. In their online store you can still purchase physical copies of the ones they still have in stock, but they're all discontinued.

Cocky-Boys used to have some heavily plot-oriented, artsy films just a few years ago, and they seem to have ditched it too. They still release DVDs but it's just fucking, no plot.

@yepyep7891 restart your client or change your port to force-reannounce to all trackers.

@dat1hungdude I know it is not an issue, I was just trying to make your topic just a little less useless but of course it went straight over your head...

I will now proceed to create my own topic saying seeding file FOUND to let others know everything's ok on my side.

@dat1hungdude to me it isn't clear if you have checked the tracker status reported by the server to your torrent client. The fact that the download status states "seeding" doesn't mean the torrent exists in the server and or should be visible to other members.

If it tracker status says working, then in this case there's something catchy going with the title/torrent name. But if it reports "unregistered" that just means the torrent was taken down.

@blablarg18 Seeing this as a weakness, it's almost as if you're saying "if something's annoying you, you must face it and be annoyed indefinitely instead of doing something that'll effectively fix the issue"

But since the subject popped up, what I think truly shows weakness is making a rule that says people are not allowed to block you. I'm not talking about you of course, just a vent... God knows I tried
