I have never done any kind of manual port forwarding my current VPN provider does not do that at the price I have it for right now.
If the VPN provider does not support port forwarding then it is normal and expected to always be firewalled. Toggling random ports doesn't change that fact.
Not sure why you would sometimes see your status as fully connectable, guessing either it's a Windscribe misconfiguration when you initially connect (?) or qBittorrent gets confused during the intitial connect. Or there's some other misconfiguration.
You might want to see if other people using that VPN provider have more insight, maybe they are doing something strange with the ports when you initially connect & eventually close them on you.
True, wouldn't be too different vs just using a VPN. You're choosing to trust the Tribler tech and the Tribler exit node operator vs choosing to trust the VPN provider. Granted most VPN connections are going to have much better performance vs anything Tribler related.
There is a nice side effect of running an *arr stack against Tribler, even in 1 hop mode - Your Tribler node is much more easily pulling in new content into the Tribler network for other users to access afterwards without needing an exit node. Ideally it's just one Tribler node/user needing to pull data through the exit nodes while the rest would just pull it from you and share with other nodes in-network.
Torrents over I2P work the same way. If the torrent data isn't found within I2P and you have outproxies configured you could pull torrents from the clearnet & afterwards other I2P users just share amongst the I2P network.
That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing! Been a while since I tried it out but last I looked Tribler's own automation features were quite lacking so something like this helps a lot.
I was not able to download anything with more than 1 hops in between - ie it does hide your real IP address, but only uses one relay in between.
Hmm I don't think there's any relays at all in that configuration, unless you're counting the exit node itself?

One thing to keep in mind is that to download torrents from outside Tribler's own network you would need to download through an exit node.. not sure on the exact stats but last I tested exit nodes were only like 5-10% of the Tribler user base. For a while I tried volunteering my own VPN connection as an exit node for Tribler just to see how it went but the Tribler client kept locking up/crashing after a few days so the experiment did not go well.. hopefully works better nowadays.
If you use Namecheap for email domain(s) you may want to consider also splurging for their PremiumDNS to keep your domain(s) off spam blocks at other email providers.
I help maintain some emails at Gmail/Google Workspace but the domains themselves are at Namecheap. For a while there were complaints that some emails never landed in other people's inboxes... this led me to talk about the issue with one of the email provider recipients based in the UK & apparently they were null routing anything coming from Namecheap since they felt a lot of spam came from them. But after some experimenting I figured out their system (& probably others) were figuring out they were Namecheap domains via the default FreeDNS they use. On a hunch I switched those domains over to PremiumDNS and after that all our emails were landing in other inboxes correctly. I guess maybe it makes sense, a typical spammer buying a cheap domain at Namecheap isn't going to splurge for the higher end DNS service for it.
I'm not saying all email providers treat Namecheap domains as spam but just be warned there definitely ones out there that do.
It's not, whatever you're looking at is just some site re-using the name.
Futurama also did their own version https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/V-Chip
Tried it, Too heavy for my usecase
That's fair, Kodi is way more feature rich. I love it personally but realistically don't need to use everything Kodi is capable of.
Also I cannot use MPV to watch my videos.
Been happy with Kodi's internal player but they do have configurations for external players including MPV https://kodi.wiki/view/External_players
BTW you should also look at Jellyfin, slightly different use case but it too is designed to manage local media including TV/Movies.
And since you mentioned MPV that also exists with Jellyfin https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-mpv-shim
Kodi (https://kodi.tv) does the same thing & more. People think of it as a sort of streamer but its original/main purpose is to manage local media downloads including movie/tv series.
If you make a community don't do it on lemmy.world, the admins at this instance have taken a hard stance against piracy related communities.
Bummer, the formfactor / specs look okay but it's kind of a dead end if I can't just install & use a vanilla Debian OS or similar.
With all the NAS OS options probably Synology has the best one but even there I don't actually want to get locked into that. I doubt this UGOS software can match Synology's let alone Debian.
If it's any consolation it looks like UGREEN is responding to comments about installing other OSes at their kickstarter page https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/urgreen/ugreen-nasync-next-level-storage-limitless-possibilities/comments
Yes - But keep both TCP and uTP enabled (should be the default setting unless you changed it).
Seems easier just to disable queuing altogether. Then if you're worried about bandwidth usage just configure your "global maximum number of connections" and your "global rate limits" to whatever you need them to be. Also keep uTP enabled (under Options / Connection) if you're concerned about the torrent client using up your bandwidth while using the internet.
It's not the answer you're looking for but it might be worth giving a try.
Keep in mind the instance itself hosts generative AI communities, it is even mentioned in the sidebar of https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/
as well as the instance's local communities list
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/communities
Anyways this all seems like a non-issue IMO, most people don't even see the community homepage and would hardly ever see the banner pic. And db0 isn't talking about flooding /c/piracy with AI art posts, just updating the community banner... though this instance does have a local community !stable_diffusion_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you're interested in seeing AI art posts.
So to make it clear: people are allowed to make new piracy centric communities with the express rule to not post direct links to primarily providing copyright infringing material?
Nope, it's more than that. Lemmy.world admins don't want you to link to any websites that link to anything that might contain direct links or references to direct links. Strangely that means that linking to Google or Reddit would fail that test so links to those sites should be removed by lemmy.world admins too.
Per admin's own post they removed !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
This community, however, contains a pinned Megathread post by a community moderator, which, through a few levels of a pastebin-like site, provides an aggregated overview of various sources of content. Some of these sources are entirely legal content, but it intentionally includes various other references, such as the website referred to from the CrackWatch community, which are primarily intended for copyright infringement.
The megathread post that admins are referring to contains links to a different website that contains links - that website is not on Lemmy at all. Lemmy.world admins took this removal action because the community contains a link to another site that may contain links lemmy.world admins don't like.
Fastmail is great but it's a totally different market /use case, you wouldn't go with them if you're privacy oriented. They're better than Google in that sense but you'd go with Proton if you're looking for privacy features.
Also keep in mind Fastmail is based in Australia and their government tends to be anti-privacy with the laws that get passed there.
Not sure about SIM cards but you can still use cash to buy prepaid phones along with an amount of minutes/text to activate. Like the kind of prepaid phones that you you see the vendors sell x minutes/text/data. e.g. I've never been asked for a credit card to buy a Tracfone. Some places like Best Buy will ask you for other information to sell it but none of it needs to be real (ironically Best Buy asks for a phone number to buy a prepaid phone, LOL). You do need to set up a Tracfone account online to actually activate a phone + plan, not sure about the other prepaid vendors.
Meanwhile no mention about their limited upload speeds.
Hadn't heard of that one. But there are a few other aggregators around you can check out e.g. cloudtorrents.com, idope.se, knaben.eu, snowfl.com, torrentdownload.info, torrentseeker.com
A lot of people run searches through qBittorrent search plugins so that's another alternative.
Or use something like Jackett or Prowlarr for multi site search.
I thought that site imploded?
It was rebooted by some of the old staff.

Now I am curious if my login still works…
It won't, all the old usernames/passwords were lost.
Mullvad does not have port forwarding so it would be normal for your torrent client to be firewalled.
I'm not too sure why you & OP sometimes see it as temporarily connectable when changing/randomizing the incoming port when the VPN service never provided you an open port forward.
