So being generous we’ll go high and say 10 million

Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin’s regime were 20 million or higher.

or maybe you can “be generous” and go with the figure you quoted.

My issue is the claim that such atrocities don’t happen in democratic institutions.

well, if ML users could read, you would know that OP made no such claims.

Liberalism, however, is fundamentally incompatible with authoritarianism.

an argument easily disproven by pointing to the US for the last few decades.

oh that’s a good point, I didn’t consider that game mode might be causing the problem. I guess I always install from desktop mode anyway, so I obviously never ran into problems with heroic in game mode.

since it looks like you’ve already activated the dropdown, this is a bug, probably on Heroic’s end. if you don’t see anything other than Linux in the version dropdown, I would put in a bug report on the github.

but since you own the game on GOG, you can just download the installer yourself and add it through Steam or Lutris or Bottles or [insert your preferred method]

Brother, it says right in the screenshot you provided: “Select Platform Version to Install”

the border around the dropdown shows that they have clicked the dropdown. the default state is for the installation folder to be selected.

The screenshot is what happens. The highlighted border means the dropdown is active. This is a bug, because it should be showing both version. If only one version is available, then it wouldn’t show the version dropdown at all.

A server is just a PC whose primary purpose is serving apps or files. You can run Docker off of your desktop easily, people just usually segregate stuff like that to an unused PC that they then call a server. Your Docker server could be a laptop, a Raspberry Pi, or in my case a Dell desktop I stole out of a trash can at my last corporate job.

Don’t run your torrent client in a VM, that doesn’t actually provide you with any additional security.

Use a Docker container instead. Binhex has torrent+vpn containers that will fetch the random open port number from Proton and pipe it into qBittorrent for you, as well as make sure the port is updated if the VPN drops. The container also acts as a killswitch.

Turn the Proton killswitch off and use split tunneling, then bind your torrent client to the VPN. This is more reliable than a built-in killswitch.

Or if you’re on Linux, spin up one of Binhex’s bittorrent+vpn containers. Since you’re using Proton, the containers from Binhex will automagically make sure your torrent client is using the random open port Proton picks each time you connect.

That won’t work for the OP, they are using Proton VPN, which randomizes the port number in a half-hearted attempt to “stop” piracy. They would need to use a script to bind their torrent client to the open port each time the container started, and also any time the connection was lost and Proton reconnected.

Binhex has images that do this automatically, but as far as I know there isn’t any other way to do it that’s as easy or reliable as an all-in-one container. Binding it to a Gluetun container will connect, but you won’t get very good speeds or peers because it won’t be port forwarded.

well, if he thinks he’s hot shit, I’m not going to argue with him lol

The real difference between us is that I got a dick to swing about

Swagger around some more it is, I guess. Well kid, you can take care of that yourself, I think your last reply getting nearly everything you wrote about Usenet wrong does enough damage to you, that you don’t even need me anymore. I’ll leave you and my “sockpuppets” in peace.

It’s not P2P at all, and bittorrent doesn’t give you any protection against anything. Usenet is also usually better when it comes to finding stuff, because public torrent sites drop like flies all the time. And Usenet downloads as fast as my connection can handle, without waiting for peers or needing to seed afterwards, and I don’t even need a VPN if I don’t want one.

Took 5 mins on my phone. Nw we were all new to piracy once.

Yes, we were all new to piracy at one point. But if you’re going to be a smug little shit, then allow me to point out the difference between us is that you’re still new to it, fledgling. You took five minutes typing shit out on your phone to find it? How adorable. It took me barely lifting a finger to click one button, and then I walked away while my media server took care of all the rest. Finding the best copy available on the net, downloading it, finding subtitles for it, and importing it into my media library so I can stream it to any device in the world. Movies, TV shows, ebooks, audiobooks, music, it doesn’t matter. Anything I want, it’s fully automated from start to finish. I don’t even pirate anymore, because I’m not a peasant like you and I’ve got robot underlings to take care of shit like that for me.

Now, are we done stroking our own cocks, or do you want to swagger around some more like a teenager who hasn’t gotten their braces off?

You’re not doing something wrong, per se, but you’re also not doing something right. You should set up Radarr according to the TRaSH guides. This way Radarr will score releases and grab the best out of what it can find, instead of just grabbing whatever it finds first. If you don’t set up Radarr to score releases, you might as well be doing it manually because you’ll get better results.

Looks like you use NZBgeek. Try one of the top results here, looks like they are the real thing, judging from the comments on the NZBs.

That’s Radarr, not Limewire. Radarr is nothing like Limewire. Radarr is the best software currently available for fetching movies, just as Sonarr is the best for TV shows. And they’re downloading from Usenet, not torrents. The reason they are having trouble is that they haven’t set up Radarr to properly score releases, so it’s just grabbing whatever matches the name.

yes, it can do that, assuming you are using LDAP or have set up users/groups in the Authelia config. you don’t need to set it up in the caddyfile though, you can handle everything from Authelia’s end. for example, here is a typical protected item from my caddyfile.

# this is a bit of code at the top that I use for every protected item, and call it each time to save space
(protected) {
	tls /ssl/home-cert.pem /ssl/home-key.pem
	forward_auth :4100 {
		uri /api/verify?rd=https://auth.myurl.xyz/
		copy_headers Remote-User Remote-Groups Remote-Name Remote-Email
		header_up Host {upstream_hostport}
	}
	encode gzip
}

# UptimeKuma
uptime.myurl.xyz {
    # now to call the code above for this item
	import protected *
	reverse_proxy :4000
}

that’s all I need in my caddyfile, just the bits that forward the information about the user to each site to log them in. I can then handle all the auth rules like saying which sites are only for admins or users in the Authelia config. since I use LDAP, I can set up the groups in that, then just specify which sites are DENY or TWO_FACTOR for each group in the Authelia config. or even in the apps themselves, if they support LDAP like Jellyfin and Forgejo.

I use Authelia powered by LLDAP with Caddy to protect services. For accessing files I use copyparty, it can hook into Authelia for user auth.

Except they didn’t say they were skeptical, and they even asked for more information. I don’t know why you got hostile in your reply to them. Because they didn’t just accept what you said as truth without needing sources?

There’s a big difference between pirating a game and cheating on a multiplayer game, and if you can’t tell the difference, then you’re definitely a liberal politically.
