Plex is so good at finding trailers, shocks me how many streaming services don’t include trailers for their movies, seems like a no brainer

Ok damn that’s reassuring. I’m running Plex too and I’m sure that’s using much more cpu. Luckily don’t have a ton of users so hopefully never too much. I’ve debated having a second smaller pc that just does the Plex hosting and transcoding and leave the other box as just a NAS

It’s a widely accepted standard for decentralised social media. It can be adapted to many use cases relatively easily. If someone makes a better link aggregator server based on ActivityPub, it would be much easier to bring all the lemmy data and users to it than if someone started from scratch. As in what happened going from Reddit to lemmy, as Reddit doesn’t have a standardised federation behavior.

 

I know ideally you seed as much as you can, but I’m curious how much extra resources (memory, cpu, etc) each additional torrent you seed uses? I don’t mind the storage being used, but the box I have all my torrents on isn’t the most powerful and I’m nearing 100 torrents seeding and am a little concerned it may bottleneck the other stuff running at one point. Most aren’t actively seeding all the time, they just occasionally contribute here and there.

A quick search told ed2k/kad are other p2p networks. What kind of files do you get from that? And can you automate it with sonarr or similar?

Ive heard proton vpn is good, but I’m also looking for a good alternative. Damn shame they’re getting rid of port forwarding

What’s the balance of usenet to torrent you’re ending up with? I’m debating going to usenet but I find plenty on most public trackers

 

I hadn’t messed with my vpn in a while, realized mullvad is stopping port forwarding soon, and now need to shop around.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on a solid vpn alternative?

Echoing what others have said, use a solid VPN to actually download anything, and only make it accessible outside your network with reasonable protections. For really solid security you can use tailscale to only expose your server to your personal devices

What community is that? Make it here and start the move. I’m sure others from there are looking for an alternative
