Once I used Kodi with real-debrid, I don't want to go back to streaming torrents. It is much faster and much more reliable.

My setup is a Shield TV Pro using Kodi with the Jellyfin plugin then use Umbrella for anything I don't have locally. Gave my family a Firestick with Jellyfin and then they can request through Jellyseerr which then feeds through to *arr stack. I don't mind if I have to fix my end but I don't want to fix theirs.

For me, Plex or Jellyfin is great if I want to share my library with some friends or family, especially non-technical people. Kodi really needs tinkering and you need debrid subscriptions and requires more local maintenance. It's great for me but I wouldn't want to teach my family how to use Kodi and me having to fix it when it breaks.

It has a really easy to use User-Agent switcher so it can fake being a different torrent client. I'd love to use it however because of this it is a pretty much universally based client. It is possible to do on other clients however it isn't a dedicated menu in settings.

It's most likely an API linked to your logged in account that counts each search performed and logs it against your account. You don't need to see a user's search to track that information.

In addition, Squid-Board is great. It's the new FFShrine.

There's no proof aliens didn't shoot him with an invisible laser... also interested to see what the autopsy unveils

CGPeers are currently at a user cap, so it will be difficult to get an invite. I can confirm it does have the latest version of Plasticity.

Most private trackers don't allow a shared VPN like Mullvad anyway. Some do but most don't.

I highly recommend crDroid. It's super customizable and has a good battery life / performance ratio.

In theory your account could be banned. I've used it on several accounts for going on 7 years and never been banned.

Using Koalageddon or CreamAPI should work fine as long as you don't have to download extra content manually. I've used it for years in multiplayer games and never had any issues.

I trust their privacy claims but if you backup your email and calendar you can just as easily move elsewhere if Proton does go down. Having only one provider can make things a lot easier to manage.

An Nvidia Shield Pro is hands down the best but it is much more expensive. Slap a third party launcher over the top and use it for streaming Jellyfin or Stremio or Kodi or whatever floats your boat. Super responsive and is android-based so you can sideload whatever you want. It also has the most compatibility with most codecs so you'll be able to direct play more through Jellyfin rather than transcode.

I like Squid-Proxy. They have a large PS1/2/3 collection.

It's much easier than trying to play the private tracker game if you are willing to spend a couple of dollars.

I found that Geek paired with DrunkenSlug served me very well for new and old content.

pdalife.com is my go to if I need a paid app.

uBlock Origin is a must for ad blocking. Anything else is just extra flavour. I like SponserBlock and Return YT Dislikes.
