Jellyfin is very unreliable with live tv in my experience. It takes ages to reload a playlist and sometimes the old channels still appear in library. Is there a better alternative?
I have run Jellyfin for about 3 years. Plex has a lot of community support and praise so I spun up a test instance. Unfortunately for Jellyfin, Plex is much most reliable for me in pretty much every way. I would love for Jellyfin to keep improving but the switch to Plex just made the media experience so much nicer.
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?
You can but you don’t need to. All they really do is organise everything. Any requests go through Prowlarr/Jackett which do the API calls then push that to qBit. One could argue you should put Prowlarr behind a VPN as well but it depends on the trackers you have in there.
I’ve had YouTube Music since it was Google Music, but the price has recently doubled and at the same time I’ve started noticing my “Radio” keeps playing the same dozen songs over and over again. Started to feel like I was listening to Triple M....
I’ve really been liking Tidal. It has a fair shake of Aussie artists and has a radio feature that feels very exploratory. I can go to John Williamson and tap radio and it doesn’t feel like it’s trying to cram Billboard Top 100 down my throat.
Microsoft Defender is good and free, but it is heavier on system resources than any reputable AV. Kasperskey is near the top for least impact on system performance.
I use nextcloud cookbook but I would really love another or a federated alternative. It does its job but I don’t think other people I know would use it.

Have you tried using Calibre with Readarr? You use Readarr and the request tool then you can tell Readarr to use Calibre to manipulate the library. I find that this does a fantastic job of sorting out all of my ebooks with all their editions and naming conventions.
Prowlarr has listed in its default indexers a domain that reminds me a lof of another domain that closed in the last few years, but it’s clearly a revival using the same name and adding an article behind it. I don’t want to risk downloading from it but it looks well made and legit and responsive and well kept, basically too...
That depends on the site. With a seedbox for even just one month (€6, one time), anywhere with freeleech becomes trivial with autobrr and a little bit of setup. I joined IPT not long ago and got over 1TB of buffer within 2 weeks. Music trackers and unforgiving niche are generally the hardest.
Gog-games has returned; if you missed it, they went private for a while, then announced they were coming back in a week. They seem to have come back early.
Not sure why this doesn’t exist. I don’t need 12TB of storage. When I had a Google account I never even crossed 15GB. 1TB should be plenty for myself and my family. I want to use NVMe since it is quieter and smaller. 2230 drives would be ideal. But I want 1 boot drive and 2 x storage drives in RAID. I guess I could...
NVMe isn’t the compactness. That’s just the interface that is used. The form factor is M.2. You can get SATA drives in the M.2 form factor as well. So if you do want an small form factor drive, make sure you look at if it is SATA or NVMe and which one your device supports as they are keyed differently.
I use it in two different ways. If I am using OIDC (e.g. Audiobookshelf), then I will only use Authentik. If I need to use a proxy outpost and pass those credentials to the server (e.g. Navidrome), then I need to use NPM to do that.
I recently started using Violentmonkey and there are hundreds of absolutely great scripts like some that help you go straight to the download link instead of shorteners (very common on pirate sites), and there are also some scripts for downloading music from Spotify (I guess using Youtube), but I hardly know any more, anyone...
If you still use CreamAPI instead of Koalageddon, you can use the GetDataFromSteam-SteamDB userscript to automatically create CreamAPI.ini files to unlock dlc in your legit steam games.
I’m sure your aware but for people who aren’t… Only changing your DNS doesn’t hide your traffic, only your DNS query. They can’t see you are resolving 1337x.to but they CAN see you access 104.31.16.118. This is why a VPN is important as it stops your ISP from seeing all of your traffic.
Hi, I’d like to set the sails due to being frustrated with streaming services, but I have some questions beforehand. I hope, you can help me with that, since lurking and reading the Megathread/Wiki didn’t really answer my questions. Thanks for your help....
It’s not possible to ‘not upload’. While you are downloading, you are simultaneously uploading. If a rightsholder or copyright troll is monitoring a torrent, they don’t care home much you have downloaded or uploaded. If you’re in the swarm, that’s good enough.
Yeah, that basically it. If you download the torrent, your ip is visible, they don’t care if you upload or download. As far as they’re concerned, if your IP is there, they’ll snatch it and send you a letter.
Many “alternative” search engines are better for privacy, but they are still vulnerable to censorship, because they rely on g**gle and m*crosoft’s indices for their search results.
