So telesyncs are still a thing?
  • Man I fucking hate telesyncs...I accidentally downloaded a TS deadpool&wolverine because I got so exited when I saw it that I didn't read the title properly so I didn't notice the "TS". I was so disappointed when I wanted to watch that and found out it was TS. 100% my own fault, but still sucked.

  • If there was a completely zero percent risk that I would be used as a node for something truly horrible, I also wouldn't mind. But I'd rather torrent with a slightly elevated risk rather than enabling things that should not be enabled. By torrenting with a VPN, at least I have the control over what happens on my network and exactly what data I'm part of sharing.

  • VPNs log your IP.

    But they don't log the data going through. The IP alone will not be enough for a conviction at all. They also need to prove that you acquired/shared copyrighted content. Any proper VPN isn't going to log that.

    But if you think like that I suppose you aren't very interested in running TOR relays or exits either.

    No, I'm not at all interested in that either. I don't want to risk any nefarious traffic that I have no control over running through my network.

    I get the appeal of I2P for torrenting and I can absolutely see the value it can bring. But as long as I will have to be a node for other random peoples traffic, I'll pass.

  • A good VPN won't have any details to hand over that will convict you, even if they wanted to (e.g. mullvad), so they most definitely are enough.

    And police are not going after citizens, rights holders are (like they always have been) by suing ISPs in hopes of getting your info.

    What in don't like about I2P, is being a node for other peoples traffic.

  • A proper VPN provider is sufficient to protect against this though. If you, as a Swedish citizen, weren't already using a VPN, you were being an idiot.

    I mean, it still makes sense to also use I2P, but it is currently not good enough as a full replacement.

    Company creates "solution" to address school "vaping incidents".
  • Yeah but putting it on 4G gives them a reason to charge for continuous use of the system and lock them in to their web based proprietary platform.

  • The surface is flat, it's absolutely 2D art. Whatever thickness the material has is pretty irrelevant WRT 2D v. 3D when there is no spacial quality to the piece. This cool, but it is no more 3D art than a regular painting or laser edged piece of wood.

  • Removing DRM from a legally obtained copy is not illegal in itself.

    It is technically not illegal to remove the DRM, if the purpose is just to read it and the DRM is not compatible with my reading device. I just still have to honour the lending agreement I made with my local library.

  • IDK about movies/TV shows being in decline here, it seems to be in better shape now than when I first left the sea 15 years ago. New stuff, especially movies, hits the trackers way faster than they did "back then" and are easily available from public trackers. I can still find all the older things I want, granted some it only on the private trackers I'm using, but it's being kept alive. Old or niche media has always been the hardest to find with torrents, but it really feels easier now than it did when I first started out 25 years ago.

    As for books, I rent most of them from my local library as e-books, strip the DRM so I can read on me reader, and immediately return so someone else can rent them. I haven't really needed to pirate a book in years by doing it this way.

  • I’ve also been wondering lately if it’s really necessary to size up my running shoes like I’ve always done. Is sizing up still a recommendation in general? All my running shoes are a half size bigger than my regular shoes.

    I just go with whatever feels comfortable, I don't really care what size it is. I generally have a decent idea of how a shoe should feel when trying them out, and I just get whatever size has that feeling.

  • If you're (relatively) new to running, dial it back down to half weekly milage and see if that improves things. When I started, my cardio quickly supported more running than my body could handle which led me to over training.

    Also, go see a doctor if it persists.

  • Printing and binding is expensive, not to mention a waste of paper, you can't really expect them to front that cost IMO. He should have just given you the PDF instead printing it.

  • Unfortunately what you and I consider bullshit harassment laws are not necessarily (and often not) considered that by governments. We can both agree how ridiculous something like this is, if it happened, but I severely doubt courts would have a similar attitude towards it.

  • I'm travelling for the moment, and usually I just access my home network with tailscale and it has always worked flawlessly. But the hotel I'm staying at apparently blocks VPN connections, I can't use my regular VPN for work on their network either and I've tried obfuscation,different ports etc. nothing seems to work and it never connects.

    How can I circumvent this, if at all? I'm staying for several weeks, so this is a pretty bug issue.

    I'm running my media server with a 36tb raid5 array with 3 disks, so I do have some resilience to drives failing. But currently can only afford to loose a single drive at a time, which got me thinking about backups. Normally I'd just do a backup to my NAS, but that quickly gets ridiculous for me with the size of my library, which is significantly larger than my NAS storage of only a few tb. And buying cloud storage is much too expensive for my liking with these amounts of storage.

    Do you backup only the most valuable parts of your library?

    I sweat a lot when I exercise. After an hour of running at medium intensity (~150bpm avg HR) in 20°C @ 50% humidity, I am literally drenched in sweat. I can wring my clothes and sweat will pour from it. It's difficult to find clothes that are comfortable to wear for my long trips.

    I want to add Pokemon Journeys to my jellyfin server, but jellyfin fucks up everything because it thinks it the regular Pokémon show from 1997 and imports metadata for that.

    How can I fix this so it shows up correctly in jellyfin?

    I've been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I'm finding online is people using nvidia cards...well, I don't have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that's extremely uncommon and I can't find any working solutions.

    Edit: I'm running Tdarr in a docker container on my OMV media server.

    Edit 2: I've gotten it working, but the compression is nonexisting. A h264 -> h265 transcode increases file size by ~5%.

    Needed to add my Tdarr container to the render group and pass through the dev/dri/renderD128 folder.

    My gluetun VPN keeps failing the health check after running for a few hours. I found that some had fixed this by changing the update period to a shorter interval, and this worked for a while for me as well. But for the last 24h or so, it keeps failing after a few hours.

    How can i fix this?

    docker compose: !

    gluetun log: !

    I've started setting up my media server and was wondering if I should put my docker containers with sonarr and radarr behind my VPN the same as my qbit?
