Yeah, I was hoping user level instance blocking would also block users from the instance. Hopefully the functionality will be added in later.

Conversely, I don’t see any downside to it. If it’s added and you don’t like it, then just don’t use the setting. It doesn’t affect you. Other lemmy apps have this setting and anyone who wants to use it uses it. No real reason for it not to be added.

I prefer not to see karma scores, not on my profile or any other. Karma ruined reddit for me with the karma rat race that caused so many low effort posts and comments. And no, I’m not going to just never go to user profiles on account of this. If profiles weren’t meant to be accessible, then they wouldn’t be publicly visible at all.

Lol as if a tiny visual toggle to remove a UI element from appearing in a single screen is so time and labor intensive that it’s going to make it completely impossible for the developer to work on “more pressing things”. If it’s such a hassle to add and has no benefit, why did every other lemmy app developer add it to their apps, without anyone even needing to ask for it in the first place for that matter?

Just because you don’t see a benefit in it or refuse to doesn’t mean it isn’t a useful feature, otherwise it wouldn’t be in any of the other apps at all. And this post is a “feature request” not a “feature demand”, I didn’t ask that the feature be given some kind of special attention, just put it out there that it would be useful to have. If you don’t like that, move on. The post wasn’t addressed to you, it was addressed to the developer, so you speaking on his behalf on what he may or may not consider a useful or time-intensive feature to add doesn’t really have any value to me.

Very good choice for a mobile browser based on Firefox. I’ve been using Iceraven on my phone for some years now and it’s definitely better than default mobile Firefox. I’m sure you’ll like it.

I love this explanation so much lol

The game’s exclusive early access period for purchasers of the premium edition just released. Big name streamers are playing and streaming the game. Reviews are pouring out of every game review site. On top of all that, the general release is days away. Obviously, people are gonna be talking about it.

You can get the FFUpdater app from F-Droid, then use that to install Brave to your phone. But at that point, you may as well just use FFUpdater to install the much better alternative, Firefox, which doesn’t indirectly support Chromium engine dominance and doesn’t have that weird crypto crap Brave has.

Edit: Someone else replied to you suggesting Mull, which is also downloadable through the FFUpdater app.

Huh, I never knew the RotS novelization came out before the movie. Always assumed it was released sometime after.

I’d recommend AirVPN. They offer IPv6 support and port forwarding. Speeds are good too. I switched to them after Mullvad removed port forwarding support and the speeds were consistent.

Nitrate55, 9 months ago

Air supports gigabit speeds if you connect through Wireguard (which you should be doing anyway since it’s just plain better than OpenVPN)

I don’t believe they’ve had any audits or court cases at any point. Generally, I view it as a bad thing when a VPN company gets taken to court or otherwise involved with the authorities, since it indicates they’re in the crosshairs of the government and private lobbying interests, so the fact that they’ve gone under the radar all these years (they were established in 2010) is a plus in my opinion. I suppose a third party audit wouldn’t hurt though.

I still switched to them despite the lack of any audit though because from what I’d read on their about us page, the company was established by privacy activists and hackivists, so that was enough for me to trust them, personally. I tend to trust idealist types over finance-driven entities that run tech companies in the pursuit of profit rather than true ideals like the preservation of a free and open internet. I don’t fault you for going for a higher standard than that though, at least when it comes to proof.

The code for Vanced was never open source, so Revanced isn’t technically a fork. They had to recreate all of Vanced’s features manually.

Check this program: github.com/CMahaff/lasim

I’m not sure if they have an android version of Jackett. It would be a dream come true if that were the case, but I’m sure it would be listed in the Jackett github page if a mobile version was available. Sadly, there’s no mention if anything like that on the github page.

Really glad to hear you were able to get Jackett working, though! It really is an amazing program.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

As I mentioned in a different comment here, I’m already familiar with the arr suite. It’s how I found Jackett in the first place, and I’ve already determined that setting up the .arr programs isn’t worth it for me. Stremio suits me just fine, the .arr programs appear to be better suited toward those with the time and money to setup a whole dedicated server for their media needs. I only consume media on my personal computer, so I have no need for that.

I have tried Prowlarr though, just yesterday in fact. I didn’t really find its manual search feature to be any better than Jackett’s, and in fact it had some issues. In any case, since I don’t use the .arr programs, I’ve no reason to switch. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Nitrate55, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

They handle the downloading, extraction, categorising and naming of the media you want and they can do that automatically.

I’m good with handling this manually, or rather, I don’t even have to handle any of this since Stremio takes care of it, and I have neither the hard drive space nor the bandwidth to devote toward allowing a bunch of programs to just start downloading large files perpetually in the background, filling up my hard drive and taking up all my bandwidth lol. The .arr suite is best combined with a seedbox and a dedicated computer. All I have is a 1.5 TB hard drive and no gigabit internet speeds.

And honestly, I don’t see what appreciable amount of “time and effort” this is going to save for me. With Stremio, it’s as easy as going into the catalog (or using the search bar), clicking a movie, and picking one of the releases from the menu. If I wanna watch a show or movie that isn’t out yet or whose upcoming season is yet to be released, I can just add it to my library and turn on notifications.

It doesn’t get any easier than that, doesn’t require a massive hassle with a set-up process involving several different programs and trial and error, and I don’t have to devote hard drive space for every show or movie I want to watch, since Stremio keeps files on a temporary cache that gets deleted at regular intervals, so it doesn’t end up filling my hard drive. This system is perfect for me, I have no reason to change it.

Finally, someone speaking sense on a piracy community. So many people around these communities constantly push the .arr suite without ever mentioning that it just isn’t worth the time or resources to set up for a single individual watching on their personal computer lol. It honestly gets really grating after a while. It’s like you said, these programs are best utilized by media collectors and people serving media to groups of users, like a family. For most average users, Stremio with the Torrentio plug-in is all they need.

Nitrate55, 9 months ago

Huh, it works on my end. I tested it just the other day.

Thank you! :)
