LOL I didn't know that works too, good to know :D
Technically you can just click "Domain join instead" to go into the local account creation.
You just need to select to "Domain join instead", there is no need to actually go & set up an actual domain. See my other comment.
Hmm on the last few installs I've done (both Win 10 and 11) I just lead the installation to believe I'll be doing a corporate/domain install & it always lets me create a normal user/password after that. Not necessary to unplug any ethernet/internet or anything of the sort.
It's always worked for me both at work and at home.
Just to be sure, I spun up a virtual machine to install Windows 10 22H2, here are the steps I went through:
- Boot into the Windows 10 installer, jump into the installer & run through all the initial install steps until we get to the OOBE (Windows 10 out-of-box-experience post installer)
- Select your Region, click Yes
- Select your Keyboard Layout, click Yes
- Skip Second Keyboard Layout (unless you want one)
- Let it keep going, it might restart (mine did)
- At the Account screen select Set Up For An Organization then click Next
- At the "Sign In With Microsoft" screen select "Domain join instead"
- At the "What name do you want to use?" screen enter your new Windows user account name and click Next
- At the Password screen enter a password for your Windows user account and click Next
- Re-enter your password and click Next
- Set up a security question/answer - Or do like I do & fake them all e.g. select a security question then enter random gibberish alphanumeric text - and click Next
- (do the same for all 3 security questions)
- Select your Privacy settings then click Accept
- Accept or skip any customizations you want (I usually Skip)
- For Cortana you can click "Not Now" or "Accept" up to you
Done! You now installed Windows 10 Pro without a Microsoft Account.
Seems like another scraper site from therarbg team (they also run clone sites of TPB & others). Might be interesting if this one does indeed go independent & does its own thing.
There weren't any, it was just a troll account that asked admins at a bunch of different Lemmy instances to block anything related to piracy. Lemmy.world admins took the bait. Even in the original announcement they never mentioned anything about dealing with tons of takedown requests. In other words they were blocking piracy related content preemptively before any takedowns occurred.
It's nice they walked back that decision but I'm still not going to create an account there.
I wrote up a rough list of places to try in an earlier post you can check out, the OP in the other post added their own feedback. You can give those a go & see what you come up with, feel free to add your own comments as well :)

With public torrent sites a lot of them require you to apply to register & may/may not have their own requirements to be granted upload privileges.
Misleading, rarbg.to still has the same shutdown message. The owners of rarbg would still have access to their own domain - if they intend to update it with any news they could.
Any other pretend rarbg domain is going to be some copycat site trying to coast on the rarbg brand. Just like the copycat KAT sites that are around now, KAT itself is long gone too.
Offhand it sounds like it could be a drop in replacement for you. But there are a lot of other variables you'd need to consider e.g. if you require specific app/TV support & don't like the current Jellyfin offerings.
Maybe others can clarify or you can post with any specific requirements/questions in the Jellyfin forums or the lemmy communities !jellyfin@lemmy.world / !jellyfin@lemmy.ml
That aside you could always just try it out & see how you like it.
I’ve been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I’m worried they will do the same thing in future.
Currently would not be possible. Jellyfin does not have the sort of centralized accounts/logins that Plex does e.g. you're not asking Jellyfin devs for permission to log into your own server. That's just a Plex thing.
If you're asking could they add that "feature" in the future? Highly unlikely but I guess anything is possible. Were that to happen most likely the code would get forked into a new project.
PS - Jellyfin itself is a fork from Emby back when those devs decided to close their source. Myself & tons of other people dropped Emby at that point & migrated to Jellyfin. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/about/
Basically, the author of the project scrapes the torrent DHT network
Is that accurate? Where is DHT mentioned?
Neither their github nor their main site makes any mention of DHT, also don't see any DHT scraper in the git page https://git.torrents-csv.ml/heretic but maybe I'm not looking in the right place?
You can create a new torrent for that data if you want, that way you can continue seeding it in a new torrent swarm.
Otherwise if you intend to seed in the old torrent swarm then you need the old .torrent for that. Search around maybe you'll find it (or if you remember where you downloaded it originally that's even easier).
Seems to be down, hopefully just temporary.
You don't, Transmission does not have proxy support. It was intentionally removed a while back & currently the devs have no plans to re-implement it e.g. https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/1375
Just use a VPN connection like others said.
and opened port 587 in my router
Agreed with the other comment, you definitely don't need or want to do that on your end. Note that your self hosted instance is trying to establish an outgoing connection with a random port to port 587 at wherever your hosted email is e.g. yourdockeripaddress:randomport --> mydomain.com.au:587
I don't have Bitwarden self hosted so can't offer much advice on a solution but...
I’ve also tried to connect with my gmail but no luck. When I try to verify my email I just get “An unhandled server error has occurred”
This makes me think there's something off with your environment, or the Bitwarden instance itself. Is there a way for you to verify that you can actually use those SMTP servers outside of Bitwarden? This sounds silly but in the past I've done a test installation of an email client with ability to connect to 3rd party SMTP servers e.g. Thunderbird just to verify my own internet connection can actually initiate an SMTP connection to an external server. You want to at least rule out that the hosted email server isn't blocking you and/or have some over-active firewall on your end blocking things.
This is all in the absence of more verbose logging (not sure if Docker or Bitwarden can give you that, something worth checking).
Looks like you can add Ext to the list, according to this post in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com they do allow uploading torrents there.
That's interesting, didn't know that Ext allows users to upload/add new torrents there. I thought they simply added torrents from other torrent sites, just about all the torrents indexed there are sourced elsewhere.
That's not the total subscriber count. Sounds like you're viewing the subscriber count from your specific instance at lemmy.sdf.org - The 3 subs you mention are subs from users at lemmy.sdf.org specifically.
To see the total subscriber count you'd have to view the communities home instance directly e.g.
- 101 subscribers https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/seedboxes
- 42 subscribers https://reseed.it/c/seedboxes
For future reference for invites there's also
May also want to try !seedboxes@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !seedboxes@reseed.it
Whatbox (and a few other seedbox companies) offer seedboxes in the US. How can they do that without being immediately shut down? Do they have some kind of restrictions that could cause problems with using a US-hosted seedbox?
AFAIK they do honor DMCA removal requests so if you happen to load a public torrent there & receive a notice Whatbox staff will ask you to delete that data. You could contact their support on that if you're not sure on their procedure.
How safe is paying via your real payment details?
I've only used crypto for those things. But presumably if you find a pre-paid credit card they accept you could buy it with cash & then pay the seedbox provider with that.
How safe is connecting via your real IP
The seedbox service itself is essentially a VPN so you either trust it, or you don't. You could just as well ask how safe is it to connect to your VPN, or if you need to use another VPN to connect to your VPN :P
One thing to keep in mind is that seedbox services probably do log more data than the typical no-log VPN.
Just to be sure, did you download some strange version of the .iso from some non-official source? Or did you modify your Windows install in some way?
And you're definitely selecting to install Windows 10 Pro, not something else?
I assumed you downloaded the generic .iso direct from Microsoft at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 like most people do. (you can use the browser trick to get the page to give you .iso download options e.g. in Chrome I just hit F12, set the dimensions to something mobile looking, hit F5 to refresh the page, then go ahead & download the .iso)
The generic .iso is indeed a multi with the download option named "Windows 10 (multi-edition ISO)", that itself doesn't affect any of the steps above.
Then just use Rufus or similar to create a bootable USB with it.
