Yeah it’s definitely way past the line where it becomes worthwhile to go after you and there’s even a money trail somewhere to trace it back. IMO definitely not worth any potential legal headaches to buy or sell a service like this.
It is a bit of a surprise though because I can host my own authentication (Keycloak, Authelia, Google OAuth as a stretch), or use the built in auth from the service the way Jellyfin does it.
I use Plex because it Just Works™ for my family, but eagerly waiting for Jellyfin to keep catching up.
I’m not entirely sure on the absolute best, but I always use Switzerland. I believe they have extremely strong privacy laws that protect individual privacy and I believe they have a relaxed view on downloading so long as it is solely for personal use, though uploading / sharing torrenting is still very much disallowed.
Kindle no longer supports MOBI for their send to kindle feature (as of Nov 1). Not that it really matters, most people should be using EPUB nowadays anyways.
I hate that it’s not possible to change your email address easily (or even at all) with some services. Tell me your website backend sucks without telling me your website backend sucks.
The crazy thing is it’s not even banking or finance websites that are ass backwards (as you would expect), it’s other random sites that just for whatever reason don’t have a proper account management.
And it’s genetic because it was required for how we evolved. Humans are social creatures and you had to fit in with the pack to be able to survive. Imagine if no one could tell what emotion anyone is, there would be chaos in the caves as everyone is continually setting each other off by not knowing how the other is feeling.
Go and interview for a tracker like RED (https://interviewfor.red/). From RED, you can get just about anywhere within the private tracker world if you’re a good member and rank up.
That’s fair, and not OCR, just me typing this up by hand (and autocorrect from iOS). That’s why I added periods where they weren’t in the source and commas as well.
Dang I really like your idea of testing the backup in a VM… I was worried about how I’d test mine since I only have the one machine, but a VM on my desktop or something should do just fine.
Curious what it is about those countries that would cause you to advise against using them?
