I played around with u/mttw_ edited build.yml and, added an additional update.yml

With these two workflows you should be able to clone SMP and build your own Windows and Mac versions by just running the build.yml action. Takes about 30 minutes to build.

**build.yml ** was changed so that it is run manually. I also adjusted how the attach job worked (as it was just being skipped). Now when build is finished it should attach them all as a new release in your repo. **You will need to edit this file with notepad and add your account name and repo name. **

**update.yml ** is just so that you can have your repo automatically update to the original SMP repo. It is set to check once a day. This is so when you run build.yml it is build the latest version.

Don’t really want to link to my specific repo so I have put the yml files on fileroy

Audit providers just like VPN providers come in a wide variety of quality.

Its hard to point out specifics of what makes a good audit as most people don’t, and have no need to, understand the technical details of the audit and just go off its summary.

Another difficulty is just like most VPN providers, there just isn’t much info provided about Auditors or the auditing process.

A few have well known reputations…

KPMG is a low quality provider. Any auditing company that provides an “always-on” service is not being serious.

Cure53 is a high quality provider.

They lost me at calling ExpressVPN the gold standard. Even their audit is bs. KPMG is the same company that provides the “always-on” audit to PureVPN.

Any article that still uses the “eyes” as a factor in their evaluation is a massive red flag. Very public intelligence alliances are the least of your worries.

Fair enough. I’m cheap so I’d quibble over the extra $2/month 😂

Cloned the repo and ran the actions. Works like a charm. Setup a Kofi I’d much rather give you $5

Note: github will not let you build arm64 as a private repo

Yeah that’s kind of what I figured but not sure why a customer would just choose the more expensive option.

I was wondering when that repo showed up and all of a sudden there were 50k downloads of the windows version if this might happen.

The coderberg fork was linked directly to the main strawberry page where the source code is and it’s pretty obvious the downloads were just the same as any subscriber executables.

I highly doubt the story that the person behind the fork was given binaries for testing. My guess is it was just a subscriber sharing their downloaded executables.

The whole malware argument the creator made is fear mongering.

Its odd he charges $7/month for subscribers on Patreon but its only $5 if you pay via Kofi.

Basically this. It just depends what your VPN use case is. If its just to avoid DMCA notices include would be the way to go.

With MAM you basically want to grab a ton of freeleech torrents so that you can max your BP out. For example I seed about 350 torrents for 550bp/hr which means every 3ish days I have max points.

You spend all that on upload credit. Once you have 1tb upload credit you can access the invites section of the forum.

From there you can get an invite to Orpheus, which is a very strong music tracker. There also some other good mid tier trackers.

Its like your only reading half the comment before you need to regurgitate random points about the importance of seeding, which is not at all the point. This should be obvious as I clearly stated the point.

It does not “cause no seeders”. It just doesn’t typically seed (although some do offer seedbox options). Its a leecher, like the millions of users who torrent without port forwarding or stop seeding after the file is complete.

For debrid users it doesn’t matter. The PT try hards do all the seeding and the media itself is typically already cached on the debrid services servers.

My point being if your going to pay to access pirated content, buying a debrid service is a much better value then a PT invite or a standalone seedbox.

Its really easy to get into MaM and TL, from MaM you can get invites to quality mid tier trackers such as BHD, Orpheus, Seedpool, Aither, ANT, and LST. For the vast majority of users that is going to cover all their needs.

Its just not worth spending money to buy invites.

You basically need a seedbox on the higher tier trackers and at that point debrid services are a better value.

You lost me at step 1 use shady Chinese site known for scams.
