Yes, resolution is not the only factor. Bitrate is equally if not more important.

That’s my data, I don’t know you!
The adoption of IPv6 on some segments of the Internet has lessened the crisis around IPv4 availability.
They want to make VPNs illegal too.
You’re likely thinking of Empress who has a number of personality issues… transphobia definitely being one of them.
I don’t think Steam’s business model works well for Movies/TV. Besides delivering the game files after your initial purchase Steam also continues to host and deliver update files for games over time, as well as lots of extras like syncing game saves, the workshop for mods, etc. I like having a centralized service that offers these features and acts a launcher for games because it’s very convenient. These features are a huge value add that makes the service very attractive over piracy.
But for Movies/TV the main thing I want is the ability to watch the content, at a high quality, on whatever device I want, whenever I want to watch it. Theoretically this shouldn’t be to hard, but with the way all the rights work it’s effectively impossible for any streaming service to offer this. Content gets removed all the time, it’s spread across a ton of different services that all offer a different experience. In a vain attempt to thwart pirates it’s a pain in the ass to watch content offline so it’s unreliable at best.
The only way to get the experience I want with Movies/TV is to pirate the content.
Google Play Music hooked me by letting me upload my entire library. I used Songza to discover new music (playlists curated by real humans).
Google bought Songza and shut it down. Raised the price of Google Music multiple times, forced me over to YouTube Premium, raised the price again multiple times and got rid of everything that made the service appealing.
I’ve been in music limbo since I dropped it entirely and yeah it’s kind of sad.
There was a golden age of Netflix where I basically stopped pirating movies and TV too.
Now streaming is a fragmented ad-ridden nightmare and I pirate more than ever before. It’s not like it’s free either, I pay for a VPN, disk storage, let alone the time and maintenance.
If I could buy (and actually own) high quality digital copies of movies/tv with no bullshit at a reasonable price that would be a serious value proposition that would beat out the hassles that come along with piracy.
If you’re this concerned you might as well be running Windows in a VM with gpu passthrough.
A surprising amount of people still ask questions about µTorrent and assume it’s still popular. Apparently there was a lot of value in that brand name. But yeah it’s an utter disaster.
qBittorrent is my choice as well. Deluge is also great, along with Transmission.
Exactly. It’s like hey… If the corpos take a dump in your mouth you can either leave or you can stick around and complain about the taste. And yet the people who left are the whiners?
I’ve had exactly this same thought. Doing it client-side seems easy enough, it’s just like creating a multi-reddit and then when you want to post you have to choose which instance to post in.
The hard part is probably that these communities will have different moderators and different rules which complicates things substantially.
Seamlessly syncing game saves between my Deck and my primary gaming PC is so nice. Before I travel I just make sure to wake up the deck long enough to get updates and sync saves.
For non steam games I use syncthing but that always requires just a little bit of work.
If I’m already using Jackett with Sonarr/Radar and don’t really have any problems with it, should I still consider trying Prowlarr? What is it doing differently?
Not uncommon. I run wireguard in a docker container for Mullvad and then set my qBittorent container to use the network of the wireguard container. If you do something like this you’ll need to set routing rules on the VPN so the web interface of your torrent client is accessible over your LAN for the *arr stack. The wireguard docs have a decent guide on how to do this, shouldn’t be a problem on OpenVPN either.
HDR to SDR tone mapping support is currently available as a Plex Pass preview and requires an active Plex Pass subscription for the main Plex Media Server account.
Okay cool, so it sounds like it would fix this issue for all my users as long as I maintain Plex Pass or buy a lifetime subscription. I might consider this since it’s easier than talking my friends into investing in a nice HDR TV or watching shows from their house and feeling pained that they don’t seem to care.
Does the HDR tone mapping work for other users? I have an HDR capable OLED but most of my friends using my Plex server have TVs with no HDR support so the HDR content I download looks like ass for them. I’d like to fix that, but not if every single user has to pay for it.
Newer versions of Windows can give you the exact Powershell code it’s executing based on what you’ve configured in the gui. This is still extremely inconsistent across Windows services though. I don’t know that I’d feel comfortable running a headless windows server yet. Too much stuff still assumes you’ll use the gui for most things.
I just set *arr to not delete media after it copies it into my library and then I have qBittorrent set to remove and delete torrents once I hit the seed ratio I have defined.
This does take double the storage while I continue seeding but I have plenty of extra so I haven’t worried about it.
“What does this section of code do?”
Run it and find out, coward.
