I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Anyone got good options for ebooks? Currently got calibre setup but only sourcing my books from libgen. Tried using jackett + readarr but the indexers didnt seem great... is it worth paying for indexers? Which ones?

Go through plex. Pay some guy to do your dirty work for you.

I briefly looked into this, but then reddit shit the bed :-)

Can you be a little more specific? I'm in Europe. Who do I have to pay to get access to a sweet server? I'm only watching English content.

Thanks!

Also what's the safest/cheapest/possible free(?) VPN you can use to torrent? Thinking about doing that as Direct Download, while nice and more safe, can definitely be time consuming

Mullvad is great

Rise Up VPN seems to work pretty well and is based on OpenVPN. It crashes less than my qbittorrent client so I've had minimal issues with it.

Not that advanced, but two things I found useful:

  • If you're in a country that blocks torrent websites but not trackers (eg. UK), visit the sites via Tor browser.
  • Rutracker.org and Rutracker.ru are surprisingly not blocked in the UK and have lots of good software. They're BBCode-style forums, so fairly obvious how to navigate/search them even if you don't speak Russian. If you want to read the description or comments of a specific torrent, pop the page into google translate.

I really want to thank you for this post, it opens up some long hidden secrets and gems inside the piracy world <3

I want to add something to this thread for my advanced pirates: irc xdcc chats for directly downloading content use http://sunxdcc.com to search for the content you are lookin for! (though, it's very manual)
