Sounds like a bunch of crap I don’t want, and they’re adding more crap according to this article. And if they are indeed going the way of WeChat, becoming a “super app” and partnering with Chinese and crypto companies, that makes me very nervous about privacy.
1337x.to and The Pirate Bay are the popular options, if you want your torrent easily accessible then put it on both of those.
It looks like Mozilla doesn’t maintain an official Canadian dictionary, they just rely on this add-on created by a single guy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/canadian-english-dictionary/
I’d suggest turning that dictionary off and relying on a third-party spelling/grammar app with better Canadian language support. I don’t know if they have a Canada-specific option, but I like LanguageTool: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/languagetool/
There are a lot of options out there, be careful about which ones have a decent privacy policy. Keep in mind, they could easily record anything you type, on any website.
NP. I used this guide: https://youtu.be/LD8-Qr3B2-o?si=xneR6WNoEb5ND6xm
It’s definitely not necessary, but damn it’s convenient and easy now that it’s set up. And my setup is relatively simple. Sonarr is for TV, Bazaar automates subtitles, there’s Lidarr for music, and Readarr for books… The list of 'arrs is long.
Tailscale isn’t necessary, it’s just what I use for remote access. And you can use Jellyfin/Emby/Kodi with Radarr too, it’s not specific to Plex.
SOCKS5 proxy keeps the letters away (I live in NYC). I’ve read that it’s because ISP’s don’t bother actually monitoring torrent traffic. They only act when a copyright holder reports your IP for piracy. So if you hide your IP then they can’t see you.
A proxy is not encrypted, to be clear. But it turns out encryption isn’t actually necessary if you just want your ISP to stop bugging you. If laws change and torrenting becomes more dangerous, I’ll probably switch to a proper VPN. But a proxy is faster and easier.
I have Plex, Radarr, Prowlarr, and Qbittorrent all installed on the same dedicated server. I’m using a SOCKS5 proxy instead of a VPN, it works great because I set up Qbittorrent to use the proxy and I just leave it running 24/7. I also have Tailscale installed for remote access, setup for that is dead simple.
Here’s my workflow if I’m away from home:
That’s it. If I’m already at home, step 1 is not necessary.
Prowlarr and Radarr find the movie on my registered indexers, at the desired quality, and send the torrent to Qbittorrent. Then when the download is finished they automatically rename the files and move them to my Plex library (and they could do the same with Jellyfin). Roughly 10 minutes after I finish step 3 (more or less depending on seeds), the movie magically appears in my Plex library. I don’t have to turn a VPN on or off.
Flash storage has gotten dirt cheap. 64GB is just insulting. Hell, I wouldn’t even accept 128GB nowadays, it probably only costs manufacturers a few dollars to double that. But of course they upcharge us $100.
Ah yes, DNS adblocking has its uses, but it’s a lot less versatile than an adblocker in your browser. Your point is valid, though. If the website is going to fight your adblocker, maybe just don’t go to that website.
The rule is pretty clear. This is not a community for self-promotion. If you want to do that, find a community that allows it.
EDIT: Twitter-like social networks seem like a more appropriate place for this sort of self-promotion. Like Mastodon or Bluesky.
Adobe is a bloated garbage company that hasn’t truly innovated in a decade, they’re just hoarding their proprietary tools and formats to squeeze as much money out of customers as possible.
Lol Jesus Christ, the surprise Shrek envelope
You could just limit the speed of Qbittorrent permanently, enough that it wouldn’t mess with your Plex traffic.
You can do a lot better by buying your own modem and router, but that can be expensive. The thing you’re doing right now is a good idea if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, whine at your internet provider and get them to send you a better router.
No. There have been many attempts at this, and just as many failures. Centralization is not the answer.
It also runs like crap, even on decent hardware. I don’t get why people love it so much…
Not really, you’re ideally paying for a server that you have complete control of. The differences are mostly just fundamental limitations.
Example: if you’re hosting off site, you will always be connecting remotely, so your access depends on a network connection. If you’re hosting at home then your stuff is still accessible when your internet goes down
Fair, I got about halfway through before I got bored.
I hope you’ll find an easier way to do it, but if it was me in your shoes, I’d probably drive out to them. You driving the U-Haul with them driving your car home sounds like a good idea. It’s the safest option to make sure they don’t run into even MORE trouble.
