I’m new to this PT game, just installed Jellyfin then started digging into the arr-verse and installed Jackett and Sonarr to populate Jellyfin with all the old shows that aren’t shown anymore, found SG-1 and The Lost Room without too much trouble but Sonarr is having problems with Warehouse 13 at the moment.
So with r/opensignups gone, what’s another way to know when PT’s are offering sign ups?
No, no, it’s 198.162.0.1!
It’s a rabbit hole indeed, I’ve already started looking around the *arr-verse and I can definitely say several of them are looking mighty fine already. And they really aren’t particulary challenging setups either, unless you get into the whole self-hosted side with NAS’s and reverse proxies and what not.
Truly a golden age for FOSS at the moment.
I just installed Jackett (a tracker aggregator effectivley) yesterday, it was a super easy set up and now my qbittorrent can check all the torrent sites at the same time and find the highest seeded file from practically every public tracker on the internet.
So I’d highly recommend this route. I also set up Jellyfin on my WebOS TV yesterday too, which was a bit more of a challenge but it works flawlessly so I’d also highly recommend Jellyfin as well.
I’m no “normie” but Linux is so damned ass backwards my brain just can’t cope, some of the times I was unsure if I was asking the OS to change directory or summon Moloch to bring a thousand years of darkness to the world.
Quite often only 27.
It should be, I fully agree, unfortunately we live in a digital panopticon.
I reckon there are two factors at work here, the profit imperative and enshitification. The profit imperative relates to how corporations have to make exponential profits every single year (and as we all should know you can’t have exponential growth in a finite system.)
And enshitification is a result of the profit imperative, with all the corporations trying vainly to keep the profits rolling in they have to cut quality, be it through replacing ingrediants with inferior ones or pumping in the sugar so it’s harder to taste the wood chips, killing third party alternatives for viewing your site to keep all the ad revenue to yourself, putting out unfinished products and charging top dollar while treating your users as unpaid testers.
Or any other of the million shitty practices corporations can think up to keep the economic perpetual motion going, it’s all going the same way in the end though because you can’t get blood from a stone and as a great man once said “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
You’re a legend, cheers mate.
