I guess this will vary across clients but I've used Voyager (formerly known as wefwef) till Boost for Lemmy came out. It's funny because, on Voyager I would love that this bot exists cus the normal https hyperlinks wouldn't work directly on Voyager, it would just open up an external browser tab and only the link posted by the bot would open in the app itself

Meanwhile on Boost for Lemmy, the normal https links work just fine, directly pointing to the community in the app itself, but the one posted by the bot doesn't work at all (it's not even hyperlinked)

I guess it's just a personal thing. I personally cannot stand the "Please Activate Windows" watermark and MAS is such an easy tool that it just makes sense to do it. It's not like this announcement kills MAS, you can still use the other activation methods

I like to use FileBrowser simply because it has a good UI as well as a built-in share feature. So it doubles as the file browser I use for my server and for sharing any files with my friends

A1: Yes, but it depends

I used to be someone who used to watch movies and tv shows on soap2day/fmovies/etc but once I tried watching a proper full release (Bluray encode, or even just a WEB release) I could never go back. If you have a good TV, and you want to maximise your watching experience, private trackers are easily the way to go. But it entirely depends on your needs.

Even with a slower upload speed, it's not impossible to keep a good ratio. As long as you have drive space to seed, you will get bonus points that you can use to keep your ratio positive. About being kicked, most sites are "one lifetime, one account" so you can't just restart from RED if you get in trouble. Ideally, don't get in trouble, stay off the forums except for recruitments, just keep a good ratio and don't fuck up.

A2: Depends on the content

For Movies and TV you generally don't need to care where you get it from. Even if the file is infected somehow, a competent video player will not allow whatever malicious code to be executed so you're good there

What you do need to worry about is for Games and Software. You are essentially running random .exe files that would even show up as a malicious file on VirusTotal if it's a cracked program that bypasses some subscription or premium purchase.

You said you don't download much games and when you do it's Fitgirl so you're good there. Fitgirl is a trusted releaser and as long as you use fitgirl-repacks.site you won't have an issue (double check the hashes anyway, fitgirl releases include a program that does it for you). It is true 1337x had that problem recently with the EMPRESS release for Baldur's Gate 3 that included a Bitcoin miner (apparently EMPRESS was not responsible for it, and someone else had reposted it including the malware).

If you do download games, the best tracker is GazelleGamesNetwork (GGn) and you should consider finding a way in if you want to play more games at some point. Releases there are thoroughly checked and the staff are very careful. People find out very quickly if something is questionable and will not hesitate to call it out so it can be considered safe.

As for software, it's tough because there is no big trusted private tracker for cracked programs for Windows. Rutracker is what I usually recommend, it's semi-private and is atleast better than 1337x or TPB (try not to use those anymore). RuTracker also has m0nkrus releases, just translate the comments and see if anything seems off about it.

This is the first I'm hearing of distrobox. Guessing you need root priveleges for that?

I've never used homebrew so I'm not sure. Looking at their discord, it's also not supported by them so I don't even know how you'd go about it tbh. Try it out and see if you can figure it out, maybe it's just a simple path issue

Apparently it looks like, atleast on Ultra.cc, you can add your own reverse proxy configs to .apps/nginx/proxy.d and once you restart the nginx service if will proxy your requests. It's just up to you to configure it properly although Support won't help you with that. I imagine the other providers also have something similar although it may not be as straightforward

Yeah, the reverse proxy thing is kind of annoying. It seems for the most part, you'd just need to access them through http://IP:PORT which I understand you'd probably not want to do. Haven't really found a way around that but Ultra.cc supports Overseerr natively

HostingBy seems to have really good price, but I have heard that their support is lacking and if you want answers you're better off asking in the discord for someone else to help you out.

Ultra recently introduced a Singapore option for some of their plans which I would definitely recommend if you're located in Asia and you're getting it as a media server. They also let you install pyenv (for Python versions), nodejs and golang so it's easier for you to install your own apps. There are a lot of ways to compile your own apps, it just takes a bit of learning and time

It's been proven over and over again that Microsoft simply does not care for individual consumers anymore. I mean, you can use any Microsoft Windows installation without activating for perpetuity and the only issue would be no customisation of the wallpaper and that pesky notice on the bottom right.

The money from Enterprise is enough to justify it

I believe what you're looking for is Remote Path Mapping, read this guide and see if it fits your situation - https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/Radarr-remote-path-mapping/

Sonarr should be the same setup process. Essentially, you want your arr's to be able to see and access the files on your seedbox. Best way that I've found to do this is sshfs or rclone's sftp. Mount your seedbox's download folder on your Plex server with sshfs/sftp

Since you're also moving the files from your seedbox to your Plex server with synching, I imagine a setup involving mergerfs will work too. Basically, you mount your seedbox download folder to your Plex server, use mergerfs to merge it with your local Plex server's location that Sonarr/Radarr imports it to - point Sonarr, Radarr and the Plex to the merged location. When the files are being moved by Syncthing, all your services will still think they're in the same location so it doesn't get confused.

If you want to go that route, you can use the Google Drive guide - https://web.archive.org/web/20220508210909/https://wikiold.servarr.com/Cloud_Setup and change it a bit so it works for your configuration. Ignore the parts about encrypting and the nightly move script, Syncthing does that for you. And instead of mounting a Google drive remote, you will be mounting your seedbox through sshfs/sftp

Why go through all that when MAS exists. Just activate it yourself with a single script, use the same thing for MS Office as well. I'll never understand why people choose to pay for stolen/enterprise keys

Don't think about the speeds advertised by providers, you'll never come close to them. You seem to require a media server, so give more importance to storage.

From my research comparing HostingBy, SeedHost and Ultra.cc - HostingBy has the highest €/TB rate except for the 1TB box which is ironically the highest €/TB rate

Here's the Google Sheet if you're interested Ignore the remarks and INR part, I'm Indian so wanted to see what I would end up paying

I will add on more providers at some point, but these 3 are the big names with decent prices and support.

As for your other problem of app selection, I don't think you'll find any of those in most providers natively (except for Transmission). You can request them, but its not a quick process. Instead of that, try installing them yourself. Even without root, it shouldn't be impossible, the only thing that may be annoying is you may not be able to setup reverse proxy so you'll need to access those services with http://ip:port

I got in back when it was application sign up. Just watch out for it on r/OpenSignups and you should get in

Motorsports, yes

I believe they're doing 3 Body Problem next, another adaptation but for a Chinese sci-fi this time

To be fair, this "joke" is a pretty accurate representation of her online personality. Just read any of the NFOs on her cracks and you'd see. She's wild but she's all we have :(

I guess that makes sense. I've just always liked the YouTube Mobile UI and don't see a reason to move away from it. Premium Family in my country is so cheap I pay less than half a US dollar every month for it
