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.

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:

1. Turn on Tailscale on my phone.
2. Open my radar app (it’s called LunaSea).
3. Search for and add the movie I want.

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.

You could just limit the speed of Qbittorrent permanently, enough that it wouldn’t mess with your Plex traffic.

I’m gonna put my dick in it

Please don’t post your low-effort blog spam here. Who the hell is upvoting this? And why is the only comment an AMD fanboy shitpost? I feel like I’m losing my mind.

It’s basically the gold standard, audited and proven. I hear good things about IVPN as well.

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.

LOL is that the only thing you know how to do? Just put your own bullshit in quotes and act like somebody actually said that? Sounds stupid and pointless, but maybe fun. Let me try:

“I can’t deal when somebody criticizes a dumb article about a dumb light show that I posted, so I’ll be overly defensive, make up nonsense, and put words in others’ mouths that they didn’t say. Goo goo ga ga, etc.”

Boring.

Plastic recyling is absolute nonsense. And crappy drone batteries RARELY get recycled in reality. And recycling shouldn’t be the first thing you think of: REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE. There’s a reason it’s third in the list, it’s the least important and effective tool.

I’m just trying to be realistic rather than participating in pointless virtue signaling.

I don’t get it, what’s to appreciate here? They bought a thousand plastic drones from China with a thousand disposable lithium ion batteries that are bad for the environment, and had them shipped over on a cargo megaship that spews smog into the atmosphere. They’re utilizing a bunch of things that have fucked the environment to do a little light show to “raise awareness” over a city that is already full of people that don’t need to be convinced that climate change is a problem.

I think 50k is definitely on the low end of what you might consider a “city”. And you’re right, it would depend on density. IMO a city with that population can’t really sustain a bus system if it’s spread out too much.

Notebookcheck is pretty dry but their reviews are more thorough and technical than most.

I like shitting on Facebook but this is a stupid article.

Meta is literally resorting to giving them away for free: Attendees of this year’s developer conference for the global gaming platform Roblox each got a free Meta Quest Pro. While it’s unclear how many people attended the event, it’s a clear indication that the device isn’t exactly flying off the shelves.

So they gave some away at a dev conference. But we don’t know how many, and we also don’t know if the Roblox conference paid for those devices or if Meta really gave them away for free. Clickbait bullshit.

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.

Wow he still uses the same intro song and everything
