if you have a pixel theres absolutely no reason why you shouldnt use it.

Plenty reasons to not use it on a pixel…I had horrible compatibility with all sorts of banking apps, government 2FA and traffic warning systems, to the point where they just couldn’t work at all. Their sandboxed play services breaks a shitload of day to day convenience and even necessities to increase privacy.

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.

I am actually using docker compose, I’ve tried their guide as well with no luck.

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.

Ive tried a million times to identify the show using anilist and anidb IDs, and it will correctly identify it, I have the season folder as season 19. But every single time I try to update the metadata, JF messes it up and ignores the identification I just manually made erasing the anilist and anidb IDs and replacing it with a wrong one and subsequently pulling the wrong metadata. It’s infuriating.

Hmm, they’re not easily available in the EU it seems.

Also a US based company, if that matters to you.

I would consider that a downside TBH, but it’s hard to avoid unfortunately.

I’ve done this multiple times already, it still does not populate with correct metadata. I can identify it as the correct show, but when JF rescans my library, it messes the identification up again.

What would you recommend as a replacement with same level of novice-friendly UI/setup? I was looking to go down that route specifically because it seems like an easy way to get a solid network setup without being a network pro.

Why can’t the Japanese just be normal people and arrange things in a predictable and consistent manner…

I’m running my smart home entirely from a single NUC running proxmox with VMs and LXCs for my services. It’s pulling ~7W on average
