qBittorrent is probably the best torrent client for Windows

~~Mullvad is a relatively cheap and trustworthy VPN provider~~ (they unfortunately removed port forwarding, which is important for torrenting)

AirVPN and Proton VPN are trustworthy VPN providers that support port forwarding

Servarr is the way to go if you want to set up a server that automates everything for you

Jellyfin is the best media server, far ahead of Plex and fully FOSS

FMHY and the Champagne Piracy Wiki have lots of valuable information

You can't say jellyfin is far ahead of plex when it doesn't have nearly as many clients as plex does. I'll agree that in the free tier jellyfin is better, but as of now it's not as fully featured as plex pro. Even non pro plex just makes it easier to share outside your home too.

which platform that you use to consume media is missing a jellyfin client? there are a lot of jellyfin clients: https://jellyfin.org/downloads/clients/all

Hmm looks like they have a WebOS client now. Personally that covers my personal use case since the family that I share plex with just has rokus and apple tv
