Why not run your own scraper?

• https://bitmagnet.io/ (probably the simplest)

• https://github.com/seik/stilio

• https://github.com/AlphaReign/scraper

• https://github.com/alanshaw/libp2p-dht-scrape-aas

• https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico & a cli search utility for it: https://sr.ht/~rakoo/magneticos/

seedit4.me & rapidseedbox.com are both “reputable” enough in the space that you can’t go wrong.

Or even better yet, why not join OpenNIC and help a more democratic alternative to DNS root.

Yes. In those cases the steam DRM is usually for achievements, friend joining, and checking that it was run via steam.

There are plenty of “steam emulators” or even patchers that remove the steam DRM.

So as long as you have the files applications such as SteamEMU and Steamless are godsends in ensuring that when you “buy” a game you will still be able to play it.

The-Eye has already backed up all of Subscene into a torrent. Only 90GB.

Download the backup and never need to find subs (for older content) again

If you want to do an open codec, use AV1 codec and Opus for audio.

https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an and use aomenc for the av1 codec.

Ffmpeg doesn’t have good av1 support.

Torrents over i2p in my experience reach 100-250kb/s (currently).

With people running more i2p nodes and more people seeding we will reach even greater heights!

Torrents over i2p: yes! Torrents over tor: no!

That link isn’t necessarily related, as thats from 2023. And the new good news is it appears in the serp now!

Red -> upload to get invite forum -> access everywhere else

It’s in the FAQ:

You should allow roughly 50GB of disk space per 10 million torrents,

Gonic / jellyfin / subsonic for streaming your local cd rips

There are a lot of idiots. $0.50 is honestly too small. Pretty sure you can buy hacked computer proxies for that amount and it would be as safe.

Yeah, the main dev classes their app(s) as beta /not complete, so that’s why it’s behind test flight. They explained their reasoning behind it on the issue tracker, whether we agree or not it’s their show.

For eBooks let me know how you go. I have not used that feature set yet.

Hahaha. You only have to spend a few hours like me remapping everything and then you’ll never have to worry about the file structure!

Sub folder for the web/API. I should have been more descriptive. IE: I had to have it on http://abshelf.example.com instead of http://example.com/abshelf/

ABS has a known directory structure for “figuring out” titles, authors, etc https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs/#book-directory-structure . The problem I had is with the “Series” as I have them all saved in 1 folder. Books>Author-Title(Series, #)/files. Because of my terrible convention and I am probably the only one who does it, it only sometimes matched.
But after remapping everything (I immediately setup backups so I never have to do it again).

For the stats, I only recently installed it, in November. So I marked a few books as finished, but didn’t “listen” to them. Thus the stats are all skewed

I prefer audiobookshelf. As it has download for offline play. The only downsides I’ve found is that you can’t have it on a sub-folder, and the metadata on my audiobooks are completely trash. So they sometimes don’t map correctly. But that’s my own problem. Once I fixed it/enriched it it’s been great so far.

And if your into stats it also has weekly graphs and a yearly review thingy:

You are not behind CGNAT right? As that would explain why the peers can’t reach you.

I still have my DS1812 which I bought for ~1200 when it came out in 2012/2013 as well.

It only runs NFS/SMB atorage services. Still is an amazing unit. It has been through 7 house moves 2 complete failures, and about 4 raid rebuilds.

Considering it’s 2024 now and it’s been running for nearly 12 years, it’s the reason I recommend paying out the arse for Synology hardware even if it is overpriced. I still get security patches, and I got a recent (2 years ago?) OS upgrade.
It can still run the occasional docker containers for when I need to get the latest ISOs or for running rclone to backup.

If I bought a new unit I would be happy for another 10+ years with it no doubt. As long as I purchased as much ram as possible to put in it because 3GB ram in this unit is what really kills the functionality, besides from the now-slow cpu
