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.
I had a wiener dog that absolutely SLAYED moles like it was his job. Seriously, I bet he killed more than a hundred over a few years. I guess it kind of was his job, wieners are bred to hunt burrowing animals like that. Dachshund is German for “badger hound”.
Anyway, he got a little older, fatter, and lazier, and we also moved to an area with tougher soil, so his mole slaying days were over (we thought). But then we got a young German Shepherd, and he figured out that he could find the mole (his downward pointing ears made him good at that), start digging the hole, and then stand back and let her take over. Then after she did all the hard work of grabbing and killing the thing, he would steal it from her and come present it to us very proudly.
He wasn’t a terribly bright dog, so I was really impressed when he started doing that. The German Shepherd was way smarter than him by any measure, but I think she didn’t care that he was taking credit for her kills. She was just having fun helping him. Both excellent dogs, I miss them a lot.
1337x.to and The Pirate Bay are the popular options, if you want your torrent easily accessible then put it on both of those.
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.
Lol. So many ponies
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.
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.
Kate McKinnon. She was on SNL for a long time, and she’s not-so-secretly the best part of a lot of the movies she’s in, even with minor roles.
Lol Jesus Christ, the surprise Shrek envelope
Obviously there are various forms of sugar in a lot of things, it’s just a carbohydrate. My point is that there is zero reason to ever ADD sugar to any food, period. It is not an essential nutrient and it does not add anything beneficial other than flavor. It only promotes tooth decay, diabetes, and eventual organ failure. Yum.
Yep, that’s the main problem with all the buzzword substances that diet culture is obsessed with: fat, salt, carbs, etc… All of those are fine in moderation, but the problem is that the processed garbage that the average person eats for lunch contains a RIDICULOUS amount of those things.
Not sugar, though. Sugar is just bad for you, full stop. 😆
That’s not heterophobia, that’s just being horrified by ignorant bigots that are also hetero.
You could just limit the speed of Qbittorrent permanently, enough that it wouldn’t mess with your Plex traffic.
The mildly homophobic nature of the question is hilarious. “Would you want to live forever if you also had to be a little bit gay???”
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…
…and then everything you do and say gets monitored by the CCP…
