Old enough to have experienced the world before the internet was widely available in the "western" world. It's not about getting things instantly, but I'm also over waiting for a week+ just to download a movie. The level of anonymity that a good VPN provides is good enough for me.

At a measly 200kb/s it would have taken me more than 200 days of constant downloading at "full speed" to build my media library to were it is now (3.6tb), instead of a few days...that's not about instant fix IMO, that's just super duper slow. Few (no?) people need true anonymity for torrenting, just enough to not be indisputably linked to it so they can't take you to court.

Oh yeah I obviously don't have all the crap filler shit they bloat the numbers with.

IDK, I've been at it for a month and have accumulated around 3.6tb, I'm pretty sure Netflix alone has way more than 43.2tb in their entire library (>17000 titles globally)...

It's completely unenforceable though...

But even if it was, just use direct encrypted file transfers. Your ISP can't detect anything illegal there.

In a world with safe P2P via VPN and I2P, why would you use a pigeon? Then you never have to leave your house...or perhaps more importantly, you won't need to feed potentially hundreds of carrier pigeons and clean their cages.

At that point, why waste time with the pigeons? You have to meet anyway, just make it a data exchange instead and skip the pigeons completely. That also eliminates risk of packet loss with pigeons never arriving.

People seem to always forget, that pigeons only know their way home. So you still need to get your pigeon(s) to the person sending the data with the pigeon back to you, in which case you can just pickup the data now that you're there yourself.

It would just result in them having official and unofficial devices, where all the things they don't want linked to their person, political party or public knowledge is on a different device that isn't going to get caught in the FOIA requests.

"Obscure Maltese movie" is ridiculously generic and impossible to identify anything from. Perhaps if you supplied some context of the movie, the plot or something?

This doesn't work. I can correctly identify the show using anilist and anidb IDs, but when I refresh metadata JF deletes the IDs, replaces them with a wrong tvdb one and pulls the wrong metadata.

 

I want to add Pokemon Journeys to my jellyfin server, but jellyfin fucks up everything because it thinks it the regular Pokémon show from 1997 and imports metadata for that.

How can I fix this so it shows up correctly in jellyfin?

I've been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I'm finding online is people using nvidia cards...well, I don't have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that's extremely uncommon and I can't find any working solutions.

Edit: I'm running Tdarr in a docker container on my OMV media server.

Edit 2: I've gotten it working, but the compression is nonexisting. A h264 -> h265 transcode increases file size by ~5%.

Needed to add my Tdarr container to the render group and pass through the dev/dri/renderD128 folder.

 

My gluetun VPN keeps failing the health check after running for a few hours. I found that some had fixed this by changing the update period to a shorter interval, and this worked for a while for me as well. But for the last 24h or so, it keeps failing after a few hours.

How can i fix this?

docker compose:

gluetun log:

 

I've started setting up my media server and was wondering if I should put my docker containers with sonarr and radarr behind my VPN the same as my qbit?
