I agree with you that its an issue, but surely you see that its a part of human nature to experience some kind of validation when a person / group learns a lesson they could have not learned the hard way by listening or reasoning. The whole leopards eating face thing.

I dont think its a beautiful part of human psychology but I think its hard to overcome especially when emotions are already high.

I personally find it sad, but I believe just like in 2016 there's a bunch of aggressive social media manipulation going on and I see it as people being scammed into believing something in contradiction to their own self interest.. And much like an elderly person scammed into handing over money I find it really sad.

I hope those two start taking more young actually left leaning politicians (or even would-be politicians) under their wing and publicly endorsing them.

Do you manually format the title, cover art, etc of your downloads or is that handled automatically?

Thanks for taking the time to write up a detailed response I appreciate it. What is your vm workflow/setup?

Had the same issue 6 months ago, probably a me thing but more money/time than I would care to spend

What do you use to clean up the files for jellyfin, or does that happen automatically? I mean things like cover art, consistent title format, etc

I appreciate this take. Maybe I should keep it simple

I appreciate you writing all this out. I experimented with moving over to usenet around black Friday sales and I found it pretty difficult. I tried a few free trials for indexers and couldn't get a popular movie to download and play. I eventually just torrented it, and that worked fine.

I'll look into it again, a lot of people love it so its worth considering. Thanks again.

 

I have been torrenting the same primitive way for a long time. Turn on a VPN, open up a browser I only use for this purpose, go to tpb or yts, grab my movie, and shut it all down when the movies over.

I've only updated my torrent client in this time, the method has not evolved.

Now im interested in self hosting jellyfin with an arr stack, with the end goal being to share it with friends and family outside my lan. I'd like to use docker containers so its all containerized, and of course keep it safe and secure.

What kind of set up, from hardware to software, would you recommend to get this going? Any guides in particular? I'm especially iffy on allowing remote access for non-tech savvy family (like a roku app), so any tips/guide recs for that would be helpful.

I've been searching around some and I've found a lot of resources but I'd like to get the opinions of people in here before diving in.

I have some beginner questions, for example: if I have the arr stack running in docker with a vpn, can I browse the internet non-anonymously on that same machine without compromising identifying details, assuming qbittorrent is configured to only move traffic through a VPN? (I'm wondering if I need a dedicated piece of hardware to run everything safely)

Tldr: Suggestions or guides for beginner setting up jellyfin/arr/ remote access for family?

Can you elaborate more on this? I'm wondering how to set up jellyfin for people outside my lan to use and its unclear to me which method is best.

Do you have a recommended way of remote accessing a server?

Admirable. I keep telling owners its not that hard to drive something else. I appreciate you acting on your values.

[–] Brodysseus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

I dont think I have to but its surely to my benefit. Classic case of greed vs values

 

Title. It occurred to me that despite not wanting to support musk or some other American businesses because of their recent change in policies, I'm still holding a stake in those companies.

He's in charge of the most advsnced military that has ever existed.

If an economic powerhouse state like tx ca leaves, they'll be given surrender terms by the fed and systematically destroyed until the terms are met.
