I didn’t mean to criticize the effort, sorry if it came across that way. I meant to criticize the article for leaving that out of the headline.

While I believe and wish it would happen sooner, my intention wasn’t to bash on the great work they’re doing.

Lay the ground for a national strike…… In 2028. Kind of an important detail to leave out of the headline.

I’m all for a national strike, but we really can’t wait that long.

Miso soup is my go-to breakfast. You can get dashi powder and miso paste, then just heat water in the kettle and combine. I love that it’s warm and flavorful, but actually a pretty light breakfast (which I prefer).

Yeah, honestly that’s the main blocker for me. For all of the hate it gets, I had the YouTube algorithm pretty well-tuned to what I liked.

Wish there was something like freetube that would still preserve views/ suggestions.

Same, privacy concerns are huge for me. Also, there’s no way I’m paying $18.99 a month for it, that’s comically expensive. It’s the same as Netflix’s top tier plan, and at least Netflix has the expense of producing their own content to (attempt) to justify that cost.

Thanks! Good to know about the parity, I've never had issues with corrupted torrents algorithm I've heard before it can happen. The first-past-the-post bit is interesting, could be useful for stuff that's much newer/ still airing...

Thanks! Interesting, if I can get better-categorized releases that would for sure be a plus. And I'm always happy to have faster downloads!

Interesting, faster downloads would for sure be a plus as you're right that sometimes you get stuck with something crazy slow using torrents

Thanks! Using them alongside torrents seems to be a good idea. Maybe it would improve my ability to find more obscure stuff!

Thanks, yeah the impression I've gotten before is that it's mostly the same. But maybe using it as a backup for my normal torrents could be useful for more niche stuff that I can't find in private trackers...

Thanks! Working better with the arrs is a sell for sure. I have my setup pretty well tuned for torrents, but still sometimes it can't find something that meets my filters because it's not named/categorized correctly.

Haha no worries, still helpful. I edited the title to be a bit more clear about what I'm asking for :)

Awesome, yeah that makes sense. My biggest worry/confusion was about how more niche releases end up on there and so that clears things up. I've mostly been happy with what I can find via private trackers, so maybe it makes sense to stick with that.

That would work fine for linux, but the folks who need to upload stuff to me server can't do that. They're running Macos which doesn't really support webdav well (and SMB is a mess too), plus they're on an external network and I don't want to have to get them on my VPN

Oh, didn’t know that. Sadly I’m only on Mac & Linux

Yeah, I'm doing a test-run rn with syncthing and finding it pretty slow. Not sure why but it's downloading files at like 100Kbps even though I know the upload speed of the network is much higher. I don't have any bandwidth limits setup in syncthing so I don't think that's why...

Transfer.sh seems cool enough, but I'd rather avoid having to coach non-technical folks on how to use the command line

I love rsync, and also have been using croc a lot recently for similar stuff. It's not really feasible for non-technical users who don't even want to think about using a terminal though.

It's not really the workflow I was imagining for this, but it might actually not be a bad idea. It might be a bit weird to use, but if I setup a "drop folder" on his machine that he could plop folders/files into then maybe it could work. Thanks!

Huh yeah that's not a bad idea. I actually sort of dislike the nextcloud client normally (as I'd prefer it to not actually download the remote files, but act like a virtual filesystem). But in this case, it might actually work...
