In my opinion the ideal x265 size/speed/quality is using a tuned slow preset, perhaps with filtering if the source is grainy. A test encode or few should be done to determine an ideal CRF per source.
Since you don’t seem very familiar with x265, I would just stick with the defaults in slow preset, but consider using aq-mode 3 or 5 (only available in the patman mod). You can also adjust the aq-strength to help control the resulting size somewhat, I wouldn’t go lower than 0.5.
I’m with Azire, they have port forwarding and 10 gig servers. Note they were bought recently by malwarebytes, so it is possible things will change in the future. For the time being, things have been great. I moved from OVPN after myself and others started experiencing persistant failures.
I’ve been meaning to try out CryptoStorm. If anyone has experience with them please share.
It is, but doesn’t really play well with PTs in general. Not all trackers support it (some of the software is that old), and even when it works I’ve run into unexpected issues.
I would like it if there was increased adoption.
I don’t know of any private trackers who are interested in users in your particular circumstances. The reality is, you can’t really seed behind CGNAT. I would really consider shelling out for a VPN, you can get an okay one for 5-10 euro a month. If you’re technically inclined, you could even set your own up on a cheap VPS for less, given you don’t need fast networking.
If you have more experience with Linux CLI over powershell, I’d go with that. There are a few options: WSL2, MSYS2, Cygwin.
It is possible to tonemap DV to SDR, and I think to static HDR as well. Look into madvr and/or mpv. Both should be able to provide real-time tonemapping during playback. For reference, these pink/green videos would be DV Profile 5 (P5). I’ve heard the results are not great, so I would stick with P8 hybrid releases.
Whether you like it or not, that’s more or less what happens. You can/will lose a bunch of accounts for causing trouble. Sometimes I think it’s a bit over the top. Instead of keeping out toxic or non-contributing folks it becomes a personal vendetta or innocent violation.
Overall, I’m a fan of banning known bad users, but restraint should be used and collected personal information should be minimized.
When you are seeding, you broadcast to other peers that you have pieces available. The most efficient way to exchange data is for them to open a connection to you. Without an open port (from port forwarding) they have no way to make this direct connection.
I would approach it this way:
From there you can work your way up to full automation and such if you like. I don’t think it’s necessary for most people.
As for data layout, just make some folders like movies, tv, music, etc, and lay out stuff in there logically. If you have a fancy storage setup, you might do separate shares for them, whatever works for you. Some people like to link from their “download” folder into their actual media folder to keep things clean. You can do hard and soft links on Windows with NTFS, but it’s kind of a pain.
Mullvad doesn’t have port forwarding, so that’s going to be a factor.
Does this work? https://support.tixati.com/settings - import export
I assume you’d need to either try and unravel the export to correct the paths or do it after the fact.
Not a solution to your problem, but just wanted to let you know you can run multiple instances of qB side-by-side. Make a new profile directory and use the option --profile=<new-profile-dir>.
The primary reason free VPNs/proxies are not recommended is due to the high amount of abuse that flows through them. As a sysop, it’s just easier to blanket ban all those IPs.
I have ethical concerns with your use of RiseUp as well. They are trying to offer a useful service to people on a donation basis, and you are funnelling a large amount of traffic through them.
Maybe not exactly the same, but I know lots of people use this: https://github.com/StuffAnThings/qbit_manage
It relies on the qbittorrent-api PyPi library, which is feature rich.
That site redirects to another domain that tries to sell me on AI roleplay whether or not tgx is down
Previously I ran Win 10 IoT LTSC, with a bunch of scripts from https://privacy.sexy/
I believe most things will work about the same in Win 11. Be sure not to disable anything you might actually need as it can be hard to diagnose.
Running any binary that you can’t examine the source of (and confirm it was built from it without modification) is risky. It’s mostly a balance of trust and risk. Even developers have been known to insert what we could malware.
That said, if you get your cracked content from a trusted source, I’d say it’s generally safe. Otherwise, exercise extreme caution.
Is GMG an official reseller? Maybe I am out of the loop, but I thought they operated in the grey market.
Been with https://www.seedhost.eu/ for a while. They’re very competitive and everything works as you would expect.
CRF 18 is usually where I start at, but that is focusing on quality. I’d imagine you would want a higher starting point.
