They’re a terrorist organisation and use terrorist methods. They don’t even care if Palestinians get killed. Can’t believe you’re equating them with Nelson Mandela 😂

More violence then

Their point was about Cambodia not Vietnam. Reread their post

In simpler times, everyone that connected to the internet had an IP address. It’s 4 bytes, which means 4 digits between 0 and 255, so your IP might be 127.6.99.0. In these simpler times everyone could connect to everyone else, but if you want to run different services on your ip like a web server, email, etc, you had to do it on different ports. So if I connect to you on port 80, by convention that was web traffic. On port 21 was for file transfer. But that’s just convention. Any service can be on any port as long as you know which ip and which port to connect to. BitTorrent is no different. It listens on a port for connections from others.

It then got more complicated because people had multiple devices on their home internet connection and there aren’t enough ip addresses to give every device one. So then there was port forwarding (nat). All the devices share one IP address, and the router has rules for which port for incoming connections to forward to which internal device. Two devices can’t use the same port because there would be no way to know where to send the connection.

VPN is the same concept. You’re sharing an IP with that other people on one VPN server and if you want other people to connect to you you need a port forwarded just to you, like you would do on your router.

Very high level. I’ll try to answer if you have more specific questions

I agree with you, but not sure how you can generalise the “liberal” position on that. I consider myself liberal and agree with everything you said

So allow them to be free and commit truly immoral crimes? Because locking them up is not very dignified

Keep making things up. Constructive discussion

That’s completely misrepresenting what I said. Don’t put words in my mouth. Suspected of a crime, then it should be proven beyond doubt and then punished. Guilty of bombing people, abusing kids? Don’t deserve any dignity in my opinion

Ok, then I have very different morals and character to you

Some vpns support usually a single port forward but it can be restricted to certain servers and potentially tricky to set up. Others can answer better on individual providers.

But just to correct a common misconception, port forwarding has nothing to do with seeding vs leeching. Port forwarding is so that you are connectable (others can connect to you). Two peers that are not connectable cannot connect to each other, but as long as one is connectable then a connection can be made and data can be uploaded/downloaded between the two.

So not being connectable will reduce the number of peers you can connect to, which will only really be an issue on torrents with few peers

Are you serious? There’s a huge number of humans that deserve no dignity. Terrorists and paedophiles spring to mind but there are many many more.

Can you still get working ones? My old tv won’t get a signal from my new receiver because it’s not got a sufficient hdcp version. Would one of these work to avoid a new tv?

Fair enough :)

Incompatible with HDMI?

Got complacent?

I bet they weren’t atheists

As an alternative to the other options, you can use the watchlist feature within plex and have radarr/sonarr monitor it as a list

A religion of peace, without a doubt

Makes sense, thanks for the info

I already run proxmox but not TrueNAS. I’m really just confused about the HBA card. Probably a stupid question but why can’t TrueNAS access regular drives connected to SATA?
