You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?
And fuck. I really miss plex. I’ve had Netflix and Hulu forever as family won’t let me cancel. Decided to sign up to Paramount + for some Trek. Twice in lower decks it didn’t save my watched episodes. Doesn’t mark episode as watched if you exit during the credits. And multiple playback issues....
You don’t technically need a NAS, the Pi can be it, but you’d need a usb 3 enclosure (way cheaper than a NAS). But honestly just let your pihole be your pihole and don’t mess with it. You may wanna get a pi zero and use that as your DNS and your old pi as a Plex server.
Since you are asking in c/piracy, just download it. Either Blu-ray RIP or Web-DL (ripped from streaming services) will have far better quality than a DVD RIP. Unless is something unique, there is no real benefit in doing the leg work yourself.
If you want max bit-rate or lossless sound get a Blue-Ray remux. Otherwise WEB-DL looks as good for most people and weights a fraction.
The VPN provider I use has servers in multiple countries. I was wondering if privacy laws would make it better to VPN to some countries over others when pirating.
As long as your VPN provider is a proven no-logger, just go with the best performance.
But if you really want to pick countries, Eastern Europe, Italy and Switzerland just to name a few. If you are in the US I wouldn’t be crossing the pond with my VPN but that’s up to you.
If you don’t already, you can setup “healthchecks” for your containers, specially useful for qbit and Gluetun. That way, you may restart one if any condition fails using Autoheal.
Also check qbitmanage to setup seeding goals.
And best of all, where is Recyclarr? Sync that bitch right into your arrs to get consistently only the very best out there.
Most trackers are fine with you sharing their content. Heck, most trackers don’t even produce most of their content.
But let’s suppose they do. If you wanna share it, they cannot ever trace it back to your account, unless you are dumb and use the same username or something, but even then you can argue that it wasn’t you.
You can do the same with just 3 containers: qBittorrent, qbit manage, and some VPN. You will be saving a ton of resources while having more granular control over how you handle the seeding. That’s what I have :)
Are there any safe, functional apps for iOS mobile devices (specifically iPhone, but iPad would be nice too) that let you use Youtube without ads? Something like what Youtube Revanced is for Android.
I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...
Pay for Plex and a seedbox or Usenet and be free while also having the best quality there is. I invested my money in a few HDDs and I watch from every service out there for peanuts.
qbt only ever sees the VPN as its network. It is logically isolated from my main gateway.
there are healthchecks running, so if the VPN fails qbt enters in a restart loop until the VPN is back to a healthy status.
I use private trackers for 99% of my torrents.
You also have to know that these scummy law firms use honey pot attacks, where they advertise themselves as leechers and record your IP if you upload to them. Technically a proxy to another country would just be enough here, but hey, this works too and I sleep better.
I need to buy one for an old TV i have. I have plex at home and i use also Stremio + real Debrid. If the device offers a controller it would be nice. Thanks!
I use a seedbox to run qBittorrent with Jackett, and have a bunch of sources on there. I know there are other methods, but that works for me and I’m comfortable with it....
Just the normal monitor process in the Arrs and then the magic happens in qbit manage. There you can set up targets for your torrents (share ratio, seeding times, etc). Also autobrr puts me in the very first people to download a torrent, so it helps in keeping a good ratio. Cross-seed also pumps up the ratio a lot.
Recyclarr is very important for me because I am assured to request only the very best quality for the things I care.
My setup is complex but only because I invested way too much time in. You can get to 80% what I have in a few days and still get awesome results.
There are semi private trackers out there that you can get an invite fairly easy, as do open signups pretty often.
You don’t need to think about it too much, as most 4K content usually crosses the trigger for freeleech. That means you are fine as long as you don’t do a Hit ’n Run, which in itself is an asshole thing to do.
I have a fully automated system and don’t even bother checking where I am downloading from, or what my ratios are, all is taken care in the background.
I just acquired a new PC, and it hasn’t been turned on yet. I would love some advice and tips on what to do before I get started with it to protect my privacy....
There is a de-bloated version of Windows that does not have all the telemetry data, they call it ReviOS for whatever reason. If you install this, you are as private as it get in Windows.
I vaguely remember either on PTIO or Privacy Guides that there were some recommendations on debloat tools. I’m wondering what people are using these days to achieve this?
