You should check out Netflix :p

Well, all I can do is provide my insight based on my experience.
I’ve been teaching in industry and at public universities for a few years and this is what I’ve Found to be big sticking points For people new to computing.
A collection of programs that will track your media directory and automatically start a torrent on a missing piece of media with a web interface that you can use to browse what you do and do not have.
So you basically start these programs, connect them with prowlarr so that they can find torrents, point them to a media directory, and then connect that back to a torrent client such as Qbittorrent. When a new TV show comes out, they will automatically download that into your downloads directory and hardlink it to your media directory, torrent keeps seeding, it’s filed away properly and no extra storage use until the hardlink breaks. So if you also have Jellyfin / navidrome pointing at your media directory, you will just see new media pop up each week.
I recommend using qbitorrent in a docker container that enforces a vpn, then you can just drop a WireGuard profile in there. AirVPN Works well for this as it supports port forwarding as well.
I personally manage the entire thing in a single docker compose file, and that’s what I would recommend, because then it’s set and forget.
They don’t need necessarily need a Usenet account, They can work perfectly well with ordinary torrents.
Openrc is used by alpine and gentoo. They both work great.
Runit used by void is also fine.
If you can figure out gentoo it’s not a bad OS but compiling can be slow. You’ll learn a lot though. Checkout oddlama/gentoo-installer
Just use arch. It’s a lot simpler than Ubuntu Fedora etc.
Occasional hiccups but nothing major.
I’ve run gentoo and void and tbh they were fine too, but more burden knowledge wise.
Debian and Fedora were always a chore to maintain. Major updates on Fedora constantly caused down time. Debian has no software and no ports like system which makes it difficult to get software.
Arch has most things packaged, decent docs a simple packaging system etc. The community is a bit mediocre but the os is pretty simple. Also what the steam deck uses FWIW.
You can’t, this guy doesn’t know what he’s taking about.
Port forward behind CGNAT won’t get you out. Best bet here would be ipv6.
Tor would work. However, only over Tor obviously.
Click the link, you’ll see it is indeed the first heading under Criticism
Yeah psi is a pretty common unit and trivial to swap between if SI is needed.
Arguments like above often show a lack of real world experience.
Any suggestions on alternatives?
Slack is ok but proprietary.
Element is a new and eg fractal doesn’t have threading.
Yeah but hyprland, unlike x, is actually pleasant to use.
Not an excuse for poor behavior nonetheless, merely an observation.
One can buy weed with crypto. I can’t do that with a bank card.
I guess, not everyone wants a centralised currency
Unfortunately, the official desktop app is essentially unusable.
Fractal is pretty good but less features.
Oddlama/gentoo-install is great for this.
Yeah this wasn’t ratio or even obiter, perhaps convention. Without looking deeper this was along the lines of an impact statement. Whilst it raises points for discussion its a far cry from precedent for the admission of evidence.
Steam deck is quite good with touch I find.
Tail scale already has a bunch of limitations for unpaid users but it’s only an extra step to set up wireguard in a container.
Honestly, I’ve had little trouble. The Gentoo Wiki and Void Handbook have a lot of overlap with OpenRC and musl, respectively.
While the documentation could be improved, the overall experience has been quite good and very stable.
I’m not trying to be unhelpful. My advice would be to steer into the terminal. Bite the bullet. I use arch and alpine for my servers but Fedora would be fine (but SELinux can be a pain with bund mounts)
Probably just go with Fedora with btrfs for snaps. It has lots of support and is a common choice for servers
You could port forward.
However, I’d buy a digital droplet for 10 USD a month, point the A record of the domain to that and then use Caddy to implement SSL.
Caddy can run a http server or reverse proxy something on localhost.
