they were recommended by a friend who works in computer security, they had a free trial so i could make sure it worked on my phone and all my OSes, and they had servers everywhere i wanted. there may be better options out there but i've never had any problems with mullvad.
i haven't tried self-hosted VPNs, but if you want privacy then routing your traffic through something you are billed for directly seems less than ideal. i use mullvad for VPN, but i'm less interested in privacy and more interested in just having decent speeds and streaming access to BBC radio 1 from north america. for whatever it's worth, they do seem to have decent privacy measures in place and as far as i know they don't block torrents either. their account system works on randomly generated numbers only, and they claim to keep no DNS logs whatsoever, but you kind of have to take them at their word as there's no real way to verify it.
each individual track from the mixer at the recording studio before it all got mixed down into one song. so the guitar will be isolated from the drums and the vocals and the keyboards etc, and they'll all be separate audio files that you can use at will
it's things like this that keep me from publishing on these streaming platforms... i know i lose out on exposure (and maybe a couple pennies, cause streaming royalties are a farce unless you're carly rae jepsen) but i don't feel right about the level of control they're able to exert on the ways in which people decide what to listen to
i still find the cleanliness and quality of the samples on this album frankly astonishing. i have no idea how he did it. i tried replicating his results on lossless wavs with melodyne and wasn't able to get anywhere close. my current hypothesis is that either neil is a magician or he was somehow able to get access to stems
on windows i use the built in windows defender and clamav, but mostly i just try to open anything remotely sketchy on a Linux VM that isn't internet connected
i did UT2004 for about 2.5 years and i was playing 60-80 hours a week on top of going to school. i think i made about $1200 total across the whole time? i mostly got paid in CPU components. and i had to fly myself to the LANs. so really it's more like i broke even.
thresh and Fatal1ty got rich, not from playing games, but from selling the idea that you could get rich playing games. aside from that there is basically no money (in FPS anyway, which is the only area i know about). seems like that's the very definition of a bubble. eventually they'll run out of greater fools.
