Everyone’s different idk. I myself love command line. I have enjoyed Linux for a long time but it didn’t really become my daily driver until recently. I find it very rare that I use the GUI for more than gaming and watching stuff. Everything else is command line. I’ve had friends refuse to try Linux due to the “requirement” of needing to do stuff in command line. When I showed them some newer distros that appeal to users who don’t really feel comfortable with command lines.

Lol is it bad this is the reason I setup a self hosted gitea instead of GitHub

Not sure I understand the question.

If you mean about getting torrents that could be viruses the way it works I don’t think that would be an issue but they might have stuff in play to make it that way.

Given the torrents nor files are ever on your computer I can’t see it being problematic. Unless it’s possible to stream a video via torrent and that torrent somehow injecting bad code in.

Though another advantage to debrid is that majority of the content is cached due to the amount of people using it. So bad torrents would very likely not stay cached long but it could be an issue with more niche content maybe?

I strongly advocate this and if anyone needs help feel free to message me. Been using this for years.

I’ve recently been getting into programming for work. Which of course has got me trying to learn more about AI. I’m still a super amateur. I started with bing AI cause that free gpt4 access and bypassing the 4k character limit by telling bing not to reply until I’m done. Now I’m primarily using free plan of phind and its vscode extension. Which I really like. I don’t use the buttons that write code as I always write code myself and rarely copy paste. Helps me learn. I just like that it’s quicker without crazy character limits.

I did recently see that you can pay for bing AI in VS code. Then it got me thinking if I’m gonna pay then I want to make sure it is for something good and prob not Microsoft. So considering paying for phind but now I am trying to look into what others are doing. There’s a world of products I’ve never heard of like hugging face. So I guess it’s time to start my journey on finding which one works best for me. I’ve recently degoogled myself so haven’t really touched bard but if Gemini proves worth it I may.

Just rambling thoughts from a self taught noob programmer.

Seedbox is optional. It can connect to different torrent software to load the torrents in. It also can just do “black hole” which dumps all the torrents into a folder that you can setup your torrent program to watch.

They have a wiki which explains a lot: https://wiki.servarr.com/ as well as other arr software.

Edit: sonarr monitors your tv shows to make sure it has all episodes and grabs new ones. Radarr monitors your movie collection. It also connects directly to your torrent provider / seedbox. Can setup quality profiles and the like to customize which files get grabbed and what not. They also do bulk renaming of files to make sure plex sees them properly. Plus more.

Wow crazy detail. I’ll read it when I get a chance lol. I stopped at “I’m a single tasker” I recently learned about the term “monotropism” which is so me.

I personally enjoy it but I’ve been seeing a lot of posts / comments about people giving up due to lack of niche/interesting communities*. While I understand that I appreciate Lemmy for what it is. I get a lot more interaction here than Reddit.

I’ve recently made the choice to switch to neovim as my main terminal editor and I like it. Even doing coding in it. But bigger projects I still use vs code.

The problem is they don’t care until it becomes an issue which by then becomes harder to fix. I also just really hate snap lol

Yeah I am almost positive they do force itself back on sometimes lol. Though you are right that it shouldn’t share your IP. But like short of someone you don’t know having access to your WiFi it has to be something weird like that lol

Good to know about Usenet. I haven’t used it in a decade and have no idea what provider I was using. I was also younger and dumber so prob didn’t realize I could have just switched providers. Me at the time thought the dmca Usenet was more of a global issue. I now realize that likely wasn’t the case lol

I wonder if Xfinity hotspots could be this? Are you using their modem / router ?

Edit: also glad to hear Usenet is doing well. I switched to it a long time ago and uses for a bit. Though I remember so many items being removed due to dmca. All my downloads were just text files saying removed by dmca over and over again. So I ended up switching back to torrent via seedbox. Now I just use real debrid. Don’t feel like bothering with other setups lately lol.

Yeah makes sense for 5g home internet

Hmm I had my buddy go to this and he claims his download history has things he never downloaded. He doesn’t use a VPN and no one in his house torrents but him. Also he primarily uses a seedbox. Confusing lol.

Oh he uses T-Mobile home internet so prob shares a public IP with more than a usual ISP

I use arch.
edit: lol while I am new to arch, I guess I kind of expected people to disagree with me. I was under the impression that stock arch is very lightweight? I know there used to be jokes about “I installed Arch” cause it’s supposed to be hard. But I installed Arch on my desktop and server recently, I did the manual install on my desktop and the guided install on my server. Both super straight forward. Plus Arch seems to have some of the best documentation across distros. I don’t know why it should not be suggested, unless I am missing something.
