This. Actually most countries leave you alone if you’re not trying to profit from torrents. I can say the same about Spain, I’ve never heard of anyone getting any warning for torrenting and half the people I know torrent everyday without a VPN.
That is exactly my point. If you use encryption, they will not be able to retroactively see what you torrented, and they can’t punish you just for having torrent traffic because it could be legal torrents.
There’s FinAmp for jellyfin. There’s also support for LiveTV and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was at least a plugin for IPTV.
There is encryption that will save you unless ISPs use shadow peers, which they can’t use retroactively.
Edit, cuz I think the scope of my original comment has been misunderstood, my bad:
Of course, ISPs can still know you’re torrenting, and if they don’t like that, you will get letters. But they can’t know what you torrented.
If you’re gonna torrent, get informed about the laws in your country and how ISPs enforce anti-piracy measures, and if you can freely torrent in your country, there’s no need to use a VPN. Encryption will save you from ISPs retroactively snooping on what you torrented.
VPNs are a barrier for torrenting. Some people don’t want to pay (or can’t even pay), and other people may find setting a VPN up difficult. This is not good advice.
Force encryption for bittorrent and you’re already future proof.
Youtube Music ReVanced should be good, it’s the legacy of Youtube Music Vanced, which has served me well for years, even after its takedown.
Yeah I know I should, and it’s on my list, but I haven’t changed it yet lol. I’m making it work like this and if I can stretch it until they replace it for a more capable model, that’s money that I don’t have to spend on it.
They may be
250 active connections is the limit with my ISP provided router. You can get beyond that, but it causes a lot of instability, and eventually, the network fails and the router reboots.
On another note, I don’t limit my bandwidth at all and I’ve managed to get uploads/downloads of up to 142% the speed which I should get.
Not really, at least not because of the data access. Drives mainly die because of their age.
SSDs will basically not degrade by reading them, they only degrade when you write to them.
HDDs can get degraded because of data access, but most HDD deaths are caused by bearing failures or head crashes, which are more of a matter of power-on hours.
What all of this means is that if you already kept your device on 24/7, your drives aren’t gonna degrade noticeably faster by having your torrent client accessing them all the time.
You don’t get warnings in Spain, I have never seen one or met anyone who saw one. And I have seeded hundreds of TiB of linux ISOs from a home computer.
Yeah it sounds so bizarre to me… What do you mean your ISP is constantly snooping all your encrypted traffic or trying to de-anonimize you by making undercover peers? That doesn’t sound very net neutral…
There is scripting on them, and afaik it’s actually javascript. It’s a limited version of it (the actual specification was supposed to allow for data sending and receiving, and complete arbitrary code), but it’s enough to run code. A madlad has ported doom and linux to PDF, and you can fully run them on a compliant enough pdf viewer.
(My bad, I wanted to reply to a higher post, but I’m gonna leave this here cuz federation is sometimes weird with deleted comments)
Blender was made for Linux, the compatibility issues happen with windows (they’re still really rare, blender is an amazing program).
Dunno about houdinifx, I don’t know that software.
And I’m assuming you mean Unreal Engine with ue, in which case, game engines not only should work on every platform but they’re especially tested on linux cuz many developers use Linux.
As long as you are in some way connected to the same network as the TV (by cable, wifi, black magic…) you can use jellyfin.
Oh lord please have mercy! Blacklisting the file extension right now!
I torrent without VPN in the EU. I’ve been doing so for years. Still no letters as of writing this comment.
