  • Nah the website displayed "seed/leech" numbers can be outdated or fudged (1337x is notorious for this) but the number you see in Qbit will be accurate, however those 9 seeds you see are either people without the complete file or people who aren't port forwarding because "you don't need port forwarding for torrents" and you can't connect to them.

  • Dude Taco Bell is one of the worst offenders. I don't eat there anymore but I know they're charging up the ass for rice, beans, and what can only be described as meat product that barely meets the legal definition of "beef."

  • It'll only work if you can direct play everything and depending on your ISP upload speed, you may need to transcode any remote streams in which case a Pi will probably burst into flames. A comparable option would be a micro form factor office PC like an Optiplex with a recent gen Intel processor. The iGPU in these works great for transcoding.

    If you want something more serious you can do a custom built PC with a Fractal Design case (Define 5, 6, 7 or Node series) which are made to hold a ton of 3.5" drives. Again here all you really need is a newer Intel CPU and SATA ports (and/or an LSI SAS card).

  • Nah they'll put out a bunch of news articles talking about how much money pirates are costing them. If they get enough public support or line the right pockets we might also see Congress crack down on this 'scourge' that's probably totally linked to terrorism somehow and "must be dealt with swiftly."

  • Plex is just fine now but it's closed source and has some features locked behind a paywall. I bought a lifetime license long before Jellyfin ever existed so I'm still using it without any issue for the past couple years.

  • The cost of storing and serving 1080p is much, much higher than not storing or serving any content yet they still do that. It's what we're paying them for. Furthermore 'streaming 4k' is pretty compressed already and comes nowhere near the level of bitrate of a 4k bluray.

  • If you're earning poverty wages there's not a lot you can do. They're called poverty wages for a reason. Considering you can't really bring spending down at this income level, the only path is to increase income somehow.
