I got engaged and travelled across the Atlantic to be with someone I met on irc

Interesting. Any idea why this is happening to SmokeAPI but not cream?

I used to use aptoide for piracy many years ago. I guess that’s not a thing anymore?

A DNS blocker like pihole, nextdns, adguard etc might help with that.

Also even reccomended torrent search engine websites suck and only crawls through some websites is there any you would rec
