The time of YouTube may finally be coming to a close.

Yes, and Reddit is dead. This is delusional, simply not happening. YouTube is huge and a self hosted or federated solution won't come even close. Lemmy instances had issues with user overload, and this is a Reddit clone. What do you think will happen with videos?

I agree. I've stopped pirating games on PC as well because the risk is simply no longer worth it. I can afford games and can pay for the ones I need on PC. They're also not as overpriced as console games.

This is quite concerning. Hopefully the adblocker extension devs are able to bypass this. I expect a cat and mouse game eventually.

The last sentence suggests that, in some cases, pirates can get content sooner than their paying counterparts. This availability issue is often seen as a main driver of piracy. While improvements can be made on the supply side, the course urges teens to postpone their needs instead.

Really? Who would've guessed that piracy is a service problem? How about you improve your shit so people don't feel inclined to pirate it. Who's gonna pay for a shittier experience?

Because Firefox on mobile is a pile of shit to be honest. It works great on desktop, but the mobile experience is subpar. For a chromium browser, Bromite used to be an option, but it seems abandoned now. Brave is one of the few Foss chromium browsers left that also supports adblocking.

 

Just need a simple torrent box. I've tried using the transmission-openvpn docker container in the past, but it keeps on having issues, either with the systemd service detailed in the manual not working properly, or fuckery with how it saves files, where it makes them owned by root on the host.

Is docker still the best way to go about this? I've used it in the past because I need only the client itself to be on the VPN, but the WebUI needs to be accessible on my actual network. The docker container made this split tunneling setup easy to do.

I'll also be running Jellyfin on the same machine, which also needs to be a local lan server, so running the VPN on the system globally isn't an option, since Jellyfin and the WebUI need to not go through the VPN.

So, any suggestions for what I should do?

I agree, this entire thing looks very blown out of proportion to me. It's not the first time and not the last time there will be malware in a brand new game torrent on 1337x.

This exact situation has happened before with a new game torrent that had malware, torrent eventually got taken down, and nobody raised a huge fuss other than not to download that torrent.

Yeah, I just can't be bothered to switch when torrenting works fine as is.
