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.
You could just limit the speed of Qbittorrent permanently, enough that it wouldn’t mess with your Plex traffic.
Worth what? It’s free! And yes, it’s open source. It can also be self-hosted if you’re paranoid.
No. There have been many attempts at this, and just as many failures. Centralization is not the answer.
More importantly, if you find something free, expect it to be from a very sketchy company. You should be paying for something like this, and you should go through a company that you TRUST.
Yes and no, IIRC the last time I installed a cracked game (disclaimer: it has been a decade) I was required to install the game first with internet OFF, then replace the .exe with a cracked version. But it’s entirely possible that there are a lot of newbies doing this without blocking traffic, and launching the game with their internet on and without the crack. So Unity might not see EVERY pirate, but they will definitely see SOME. How many, I’m not sure.
Fair, I think what I’m trying to say is that I wouldn’t expect Joe Rogan’s show to be as immediately offensive to those outside of America, who are missing the context of all the internal conflicts we have here.
Yeah the distinction is pretty small, and usually people are just talking about FOSS software…but I’d rather avoid the semantics so just calling the community “open source” makes sense to me.
I don’t have a definitive answer to your first question, but why would we want to limit a sub to FOSS-only discussion? It’s a more restrictive designation. By calling the sub “open source” we’re keeping it open to software that isn’t technically FOSS.
I don’t think he’s QAnon. I don’t think he believes MOST of the nutjobs that he lets on his show, or even cares what they believe. But he lets a bunch of QAnon people on his show, so a bunch of QAnon people listen to him. And he keeps letting weirdos on his show because that’s what his listeners want.
I would agree that the context is entirely different in Asia, his show is mostly harmful to Americans and wouldn’t affect other countries much.
Agreed, NextCloud performance is atrocious. You need decently powerful hardware to run it, so at that price point just buy a nice NAS.
Ah, yeah Plex will show results for just about any show you search for, but they’re not necessarily streaming it themselves. They’re trying to be the central place you go to figure out where stuff is streaming. Kinda like justwatch.com.
For broad compatibility and good quality+compression, h265. I use Handbrake’s Nvidia encoder and it works great. I’m not sure about the differences between AAC and AC3.
Lots of guides on YouTube to do this: https://youtu.be/KQVQOq0Tpgo?si=sYUEz1CnBPQGQ6Ch
Basically, you need to use SSH to communicate with your Pi. That way you don’t need a monitor.
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.
