I'm not saying you should be taken to prison. All I'm saying is if you don't know how to drive safely, you shouldn't drive. If people are unable to drive at safe speeds, they should not drive at all, and it's up to them to figure out an alternative (public transport, bike) or find a job that they can walk to.

I'm not leaving anyone without the option to go to work or drive anywhere, if they want that they can just drive responsibly.

That's a slippery slope. The limits are there for a reason, and it's considered unsafe to go faster. Everyone should be doing the speed limit, and if people consistently drive over the limit, they should absolutely have their licenses removed.

If driving is essential for you, then you shouldn't drive like an asshole, go over the speed limit multiple times or drive recklessly, endangering others.

If you're putting people in danger because you can't understand the implications of driving a multi-ton metal box at insane speeds, you shouldn't be allowed to do it.

Torrenting on the TOR network is actively discouraged. It uses a lot of bandwidth, and it hurts other people's speeds.

If you want to torrent on an anonymous network, use I2P. It may be harder to set up than TOR, but you can torrent entirely inside it. It has trackers inside, and a lot of clearnet torrents have also been listed on them. And most importantly, I2P is more prepared for torrenting than TOR is. When you connect to it, you add capacity to the network, so using bandwidth for torrenting is not as detrimental to it.

I torrent without VPN in the EU. I've been doing so for years. Still no letters as of writing this comment.

This. Actually most countries leave you alone if you're not trying to profit from torrents. I can say the same about Spain, I've never heard of anyone getting any warning for torrenting and half the people I know torrent everyday without a VPN.

That is exactly my point. If you use encryption, they will not be able to retroactively see what you torrented, and they can't punish you just for having torrent traffic because it could be legal torrents.

There's FinAmp for jellyfin. There's also support for LiveTV and I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a plugin for IPTV.

There is encryption that will save you unless ISPs use shadow peers, which they can't use retroactively.

Edit, cuz I think the scope of my original comment has been misunderstood, my bad:

Of course, ISPs can still know you're torrenting, and if they don't like that, you will get letters. But they can't know what you torrented.

If you're gonna torrent, get informed about the laws in your country and how ISPs enforce anti-piracy measures, and if you can freely torrent in your country, there's no need to use a VPN. Encryption will save you from ISPs retroactively snooping on what you torrented.

VPNs are a barrier for torrenting. Some people don't want to pay (or can't even pay), and other people may find setting a VPN up difficult. This is not good advice.

Force encryption for bittorrent and you're already future proof.

Youtube Music ReVanced should be good, it's the legacy of Youtube Music Vanced, which has served me well for years, even after its takedown.

Yeah I know I should, and it's on my list, but I haven't changed it yet lol. I'm making it work like this and if I can stretch it until they replace it for a more capable model, that's money that I don't have to spend on it.
