Sorry for the double reply. Just had a thought and wanted to make sure you saw it. If you have set your modem to bridge mode, make sure your personal router has a good password, and isn’t just using the default credentials. Since the modem is passing all the traffic straight to your personal router, your router is basically acting as your network firewall… Which means it is handling all of the security; Keep the firmware updated, (depending on the brand, it probably has an auto-update option!) and change the default login credentials.

Also, since you know how to port forward things, consider turning UPnP off. It’s a security risk, (it allows virtually any device on your network to request open ports, which means malware and insecure IoT devices can request open ports too,) but many routers ship with it enabled by default because they don’t want to deal with people calling in to complain about their washing machine being unable to connect to the internet.

I figure you probably already did… But I’d be negligent if I didn’t at least mention it.

Yup. He said exactly how cruel his plan was going to be, and all of the pundits immediately jumped to “well we can’t listen to what he says, we have to read between the lines” instead of taking him at his word.

but listing making out with an underage groupie as if it were just a cheeky thing is kind of awful.

I mean… Do you think emo bands started the underage groupie thing? When he met Priscilla, she was only 14 years old.

Hah, glad I could help. I had a very similar issue, so I understood the frustration completely.

Edit: Please see my other comment here as well.

Also, bots would likely inflate that number pretty drastically.

no need to actually create mass unrest. Just declare that there's mass unrest, who cares if it's real?

I joked with my buddy earlier today about something similar. Tensions are so high that someone could realistically kick off a revolution simply by convincing people that the revolution had already started. Get a few fake (but convincing) articles about revolutionaries across the country. Spread them far and wide, and shout them as loud as you can… If you got enough reach to hit critical mass, there’s a sizable part of the population that would likely go “well fuck it, I guess we’re doing this” and hit the streets with a real revolution.

Things have gotten to the point where if I woke up tomorrow morning to news of a revolution, I wouldn’t really be shocked. And that says a lot about the current state of affairs…

Yup, plenty of people will say that RFK won the argument, simply because he remained aggressive and seemed to be on the offensive. Lots of people don’t critically listen to the content; They just listen to the tone, and determine the winner based on that.

At best tipping a moral obligation... There is no legal requirement to do so.

Ah okay, you’re the person who fails the shopping cart test. Got it. If you want to change tipping, most would agree with you. But protesting at the tip line is only hurting the wait staff. I agree that tipping has gotten out of control, and 15% should be normalized again. But I’m the type of person who has no issues with just using the “custom” line and entering my own tip.

This factoid is, at best, disingenuous. They only have to match minimum wage across the entire pay period, which is typically two weeks long. One bad shift isn’t going to make the employer pay you more, because the other 9 shifts in the same pay period balanced it out to be just above minimum wage. But that one bad shift will be felt by the employee, who went home with less money that evening.

Or even worse, if the restaurant requires tipping out the back of house, situations can arise where the employee ends up losing money in a day. Because if you get stiffed on a big 20 person party, (which happens a lot. Every individual at the party assumes someone else tipped), then you have a massive check with no tip. But the restaurant requires that you pay a percentage of the check (not the reported tip. The total check), to the back of house staff. So if tipping out is 5%, that 20 person party took two hours, and you got stiffed on an $800 ($40 per person. Not unreasonable for a restaurant) check? You’re only making $2.13 per hour (minimum wage for tipped workers) and just had to pay the back of house staff $40 out of your own pocket. You just lost $35.74 in those two hours. Because all of your time was spent catering to that party and you only got paid $4.26 for it.

Netflix streaming isn’t limited.

Yes it is. It’s a monthly subscription. You pay every month. That’s a time limitation. If you pay for a month, you only get a month of usage, just like a Usenet monthly subscription.

Costco isn’t limited to 5 visitors a month.

But again, you only get the month you paid for. It’s a time limitation, just like a monthly usenet subscription.

Many ISPs don’t limit you to a preset amount of data (fuck you Crapcast).

Neither do monthly usenet subscriptions. I think you need to go re-read my original comment, because you seem to think that the monthly subs are limited. They’re not. The only limitation on monthly subs is time. Which is the exact same limitation as the other subscriptions you mentioned.

Wait, so I have to pay for access and even then it’s still limited?

I mean, all subscriptions are limited in some way. That’s how a subscription works. You either get limited by time (monthly sub) or by usage (data cap). If it were a perpetual/lifetime access license, it wouldn’t be a subscription.

That’s why I said most people keep a monthly subscription for everyday usage, and then only use the secondary subscription when their primary is missing something. The usage doesn’t expire, so it’s not something you need to constantly maintain unless you’re actively using it. So they’re not constantly getting dinged for usage on that second provider, because the monthly doesn’t have a data cap.

The reason people like Usenet is because you don’t need to worry about seeders or dead torrents. You grab the file you want, and it caps out your gigabit download speed every time.

Gotcha. It’s possible your modem was trying to act as a router as well, which would cause a Double-NAT situation. Most ISPs will ship a modem/router combo, but the router part is always fucking dog water. And the issue with double-router setups is that if you try port forwarding on your router, the ISP’s router won’t automatically detect the open port, so you’ll still be blocked.

If you do end up looking into it again, see if the modem allows you to set up bridge mode or DMZ mode, and point it to your router. (You’ll need to undo any old port forwarding stuff you attempted last time first, or else it won’t work!) Basically, this takes all of the modem traffic and passes it directly to your personal router, instead of trying to do routing on the modem/router. Which is honestly what you want, because your personal router is almost certainly going to be better than the shitty one they ship. This will eliminate the Double-NAT situation, because the ISP’s router is going to be completely disabled and is passing all of the traffic directly to your router.

It’s also possible that CenturyLink runs CG-NAT, which would cause a Double-NAT situation on the ISP’s side. More and more ISPs are running CG-NAT to avoid transitioning to IPv6 as long as possible. Basically, there aren’t enough IPv4 addresses available anymore, so ISPs have started giving the same IPv4 address to multiple users using CG-NAT. Your public IP will be shared with multiple users via CG-NAT, the same way your router is sharing the internet connection with multiple devices via NAT. You can check your public IP address in your modem (or your router, if you set up DMZ earlier.) If you’re within the 100.64.x.x to 100.127.x.x range, CenturyLink probably has you on CG-NAT (since those are the public addresses reserved for CG-NAT.) But this breaks port forwarding, because you would also need to forward the port at the carrier level, (which you have no way of doing.)

If they do have you behind CG-NAT, your only real option is going to be a reverse proxy. Basically, Plex/Jellyfin would ping a remote server, which then proxies the request down to your server. It wouldn’t require any port forwarding on the server’s side, because the proxy will be using https directly. Nginx is a popular free reverse proxy service.

Edit: Please see my other comment here as well, regarding securing your router.

The biggest thing is automation. If you have a Plex or Jellyfin instance, you can get the arr suite to automatically grab downloads and add them to the server with metadata ready to go. But that’s not currently possible with Tribler.

This is the real tea tbh. We all know what his main account is doing. Show us the alts he uses when he doesn’t feel comfortable being fashy on main.

My brother in Christ please get Handbrake. Your storage space will go much farther if you’re at least re-encoding after the fact.

The best home-lab way to do it is to have a standalone computer to act as a media server, then a NAS to actually store the content. Just grab a pre-built computer with an intel chip that supports QuickSync. The HP EliteDesk is a popular choice, since they’re commonly used in corporate settings; There are always a ton of refurbished units available for super cheap, since corporations will upgrade their entire cubicle-maze and recycle their old computers.

Some people will try to run things directly on their NAS, but basically every affordable NAS on the market will end up being underpowered for most users.

As for actually connecting, what part were you having issues with?

The issue is that this only works when the torrent community is healthy. If everyone used Streamio, nobody would be able to actually use it. Because it doesn’t seed the content, it just leeches and deletes it automatically. So if everyone used Streamio, there would be no seeders, and your streams would never actually work.

Streamio is the “fuck you I got mine” of the torrenting world.

It requires a subscription, which scares off most of the casual “just looking to try it” users. It’s as simple as getting a Usenet subscription. Usenet providers are sort of like ISPs. Each provider will have an umbrella of servers that they sync with, so it’s worth researching which provider you want to go with. Most will have a wide variety of content, but they all follow different policies regarding things like DMCA takedowns. Many people like to get two different subs so they can have a primary and a backup provider.

Subs typically come in both monthly subs and usage subs. For instance, the monthly sub will be unlimited access for a month, while a usage sub will just be like 100GB of download bandwidth, and you don’t get charged again until you use that 100GB. If you’re doing a lot of downloading, you’ll probably want a monthly. So most people will have a monthly subscription for their primary, then a usage sub for their secondary. So they only actually use their secondary if something is missing from their primary, and they’re not constantly maintaining two monthly subscriptions.

Actually using Usenet will require a Usenet reader, which is a program that actually interfaces with the Usenet network. Sort of like how a torrent program is used to download torrents. Most readers will integrate with services like the arr suite to automatically search for and download content. If that’s something you’d be interested in, look into the suite and see which readers work best.

That’s because it wasn’t originally meant to be a font; It was a stylized version of Walt Disney’s autograph, which they used as a logo. It later got bastardized into a font, because it became so iconic.

Imagine how fucking cursed it would probably look if someone turned your signature into a font.

The gold standard these days is the arr suite with qBitTorrent and a VPN, and/or a usenet service. Unfortunately the arr suite doesn’t integrate with Tribler, so you can’t easily automate your downloads.
