  • Jackett comes preloaded with 574 indexers, and none of the ones I use are private. All of mine are public indexers, you just have to know the names of some popular torrent sites. I discovered half the indexers I use from people on r/Piracy (before the migration) talking about how much they like how they work. That's how I found Idope, Knaben, and Torlock. Others, like 1337x, Nyaa.si, LimeTorrents, and EZTV are all indexers I was familiar with as I had used them personally and recognized them when I clicked into the "add indexers" drop-down on the interface. Barring all that, you could just ask someone else to send you a screenshot of all the indexers they use on their Jackett setup. Here's a list of the ones I use. Adding indexers to Jackett is basically the easiest part, and you only have to do it once.

  • I've considered switching to this program, but from what I've heard, its manual search isn't as good as Jackett's, and I only use Jackett for manual searching. Apparently Prowlarr is more suited for use with the .arr suite, which is why its manual search isn't as good, and it doesn't have as many available indexers. I heard all this a while ago, though. Is this all still the case?

  • Funny you should mention it, I actually discovered Jackett through Radarr/Sonarr. I saw a lot of people a few years ago on r/Piracy raving about how much they love their Radarr/Sonarr setup, so I decided to follow a video tutorial on how to set up Radarr/Sonarr. One of the steps was to install and configure Jackett. Long story short, I realized a Radarr/Sonarr setup just wasn't worth it for me (didn't have the time/money to set up a dedicated computer for it), so I uninstalled all the .arr programs and gave up on that, but I forgot to uninstall Jackett. Later, I rediscovered it on my system, and while poking around on the interface, I found the manual search function and used it. Suffice to say, it's all been uphill from there lol

  • Jackett is a program that allows you to configure multiple indexers (torrent sites, like 1337x, EZTV, RuTor, Nyaa.si, etc.) in a single interface, that way you can search through all of them at the same time. Jackett, and another program just like it called Prowlarr, is usually used in conjunction with the .arr suite of programs (Radarr, Sonarr, etc.), but it includes a manual search function that allows you to query all the indexers you have set up in the interface at the same time. That's exclusively what I use it for.

    So, for example, I have 22 indexers set up in my installation of Jackett. I can use the manual search function to search through all of them at once, then I can sort the results by seeder count, publish date, and file size, and I can filter through the results to find exactly what I'm looking for. Once I've found the file I want, I can copy the magnet link directly from the search results and paste it into Qbittorrent. It's an extremely easy way to find files quickly, and it's much more efficient than manually going to a bunch of different torrent sites to search for a file that might not even be available there. With Jackett, I've literally never once had a case where I wasn't able to find what I was looking for. That's how good it is.

  • It's an extension that allows you to blacklist certain websites from appearing in search results. So if you wanna prevent for instance facebook links from showing up in search results, uBlacklist can make that possible.

  • This reminds me of the time Ubisoft developers decided to have a bitchfit about Elden Ring because it didn't have any of the same shitty monetization or trash formulaic design choices as their games.

    It's like these developers think that because they're painfully mediocre, every other studio is required to be as well.

  • The notification to enable enhanced safe browsing even shows up when you're accessing Gmail on Firefox. It doesn't even make any damn sense, this feature only works on Chrome. And of course they'll never add a "don't show again" option. Think I might just set Gmail to forward to my Proton account from now on.

    Edit: found an article on how to forward to ProtonMail in case anyone else wants to know how. Seems very easy to do.

  • Huh, it never occurred to me to block the notification through uBO. I'll make sure to do that the next time it shows up. Shame I can't use the same method on the Gmail app to make it go away forever.

  • It says a lot about that platform that I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was a new trend. A very braindead trend though, because I honestly can't see the benefit in lying about doing this. Attention maybe?

  • Reminds me of this song.

    At first I thought it was a joke. Then I saw stuff like this, and now this post. Why is this a recurring thing? Is it just some kind of horrible running joke?

  • Fortunately, karma means nothing here, unlike on the other site. I'd say it's nothing to worry about

  • Seize the memes of production

  • No, they're far too busy using taxpayer money to bail out banks and businesses that are "too big to fail".

  • Halo: The Fall of Reach. I decided to finally play through all of the games so I purchased the Master Chief collection, played through Halo 1, then read an article detailing the full timeline of events. According to that, I have 3 books to read before I can get to Halo 2. Fall of Reach is the Master Chief's origin story, while the next book is the novelization of Halo 1, and the third fills in the gap between Halo 1 and 2. Suffice to say, I've got a lot to read before I can get to Halo 2, lol. Fortunately, I love reading, so this should be fun.

  • You can't. It isn't possible right now, but from what I've heard they're working on adding this feature. No indication of when they'll add it, but it is coming.

    For now, you can use Connect to block instances. It only applies when you're using the app but it's pretty useful regardless.

  • You can just block individual bots if you don't like what they're posting. Might take some work but in time you'll be able to curate your feed such that the only bot posts you see are the ones you want to see

  • There's a tiny ad banner that appears at the top of the discover page on Stremio, but it can easily be disabled by blocking Stremio's ad domain in the hosts file.
