Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

I have a solution for everyone having problems.

Private Internet Access (specifically for port forwarding) in docker container networked with the below container QBitTorrent in a docker container

prowlarr to connect to private torrent websites

watch the community open signups for invites or just buy one, a good start is iptorrents or torrentday (same people).

attached the private torrent login to prowlarr

add sonarr or radarr to prowlarr and start downloading shows for free to your plex or whatever you wanna use. Use google or CHATGPT to figure out how to do all this shit. But honestly if they don't want to play fair, why should we. PIRACY FOR THE WIN!

Private Inernet Access, the vpn provider?

[–] goffy59@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I totally agree that PIA is owned by a horrible company and is not exactly the greatest VPN but its port forwarding is crucial if you have any intention on staying compliant with private torrent community rules.(you must be connectable). Tell me of another VPN provider that provides this for a good price? Also, self hosting a vpn is the best idea except for if you are torrenting copyrighted material on it; don't try that on any vps providers.
