Eh, for me, it has story and apparently I can romance people and shoot stuff. So it’s already up there for me. But can totally see how people will feel different. Especially if you felt any hype for this. Me however has had no hype for Bethesda games after fallout 76

I’m using Geek, they’re pretty good so far. I’ve found everything I’ve searched for on them. I don’t even search trackers anymore, with how fast and efficient Usenet is compared to torrents.

Skotimusj,

Thanks for the suggestions. I am looking into it currently!

AstralPath,

Yes! 100%! Play it now! :)

I’ve started using alldebrid. It technically is torrents but not using my home network so I don’t need a VPN anymore. I use RealDebrid Client with my alldebrid account and it works with all the *arr services. Most torrents I can download at my full ISP speed.

I know it’s not what your asking for but just throwing the idea out there.

Delete Spotify and xmanger and reinstall worked for me (if your traveling make sure to use a VPN set to your home country when logging into spotify)

theshatterstone54,

if you’re traveling, use a VPN

Is there a way to circumvent that? VPNs usually come with a speed decrease

bblfrnz,

You need VPN only for login into the app once in two weeks, so, there’s no problem with it.

Thank you!!

Appoxo, do piracy w VPS/VPN and Private Trackers (Questions)
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Usually you do not have a static IP anyway. Sure you could probably backtrace the DHCP of your ISP to the date yout that IP got issued…But that is IMO a bit overly paranoid.

Though to be fair’ I don’t know why they don’t like VPNs for signups. Most likely to enforce IP based bans for not following rules or for entire banned countries.
If you don’t really care about the rules, just do it on signup but don’t connect US -> DE but instead US -> US. That way they may not care enough to enforce rules.
One tracker even mentioned that the rules are there. Some are strictly followed (like naming rules), while others are not followed as strictly.

privadesco,

Thanks for answering and for the proposed solutions.

About the DHCP backtrace, that is the (standard) procedure being avoided. I don’t think it’s paranoid, it’s just how it already works.

Have you tried using prowlearr? It claims to support usenet.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s not a claim, Prowlarr does support Usenet.

Skotimusj,

Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t quite understand what prowlearr adds over just adding multiple indexers to Sonarr/radar?

Chewy7324,

It allows for managing indexer/tracker from only one place for all *arrs. I usually set the apps to “Full Sync”, so I never change anything in each of the apps (e.g. radarr).

It also provides some statistics, like how many file grabs each indexer gave you compared to others. This might help to decide which of the paid ones are actually useful (useful for usenet indexer).

If your not resource constrained (e.g. rpi), I’d recommend prowlarr. It makes things more streamlined imo.

MusketeerX,

I’m not the OP, but I had wondered the same thing. After already seeing up the other *arr’s I couldn’t work out the point of Prowlarr.

Re your comment about resource constrained, I have just started using Sonarr and Radarr on a Pi4. They seem to work OK. Had installed but not set up Prowlarr yet. Hopefully that wouldn’t slow things down if I used it to sync the other apps.

Chewy7324,

My point was mostly about the added RAM usage if running prowlarr (or any other additional web server). It’s probably not an issue with Pi4s since they have more RAM. I’ve seen prowlarr use quite a bit CPU while syncing, but that was only for a short time.

So it’s probably save to ignore my comment.

Spark1337,

You still need at least one indexer account for Prowlarr, correct?

skankhunt42, do piracy w Sanity Check Setup
@skankhunt42@lemmy.ca avatar

What kind of firewall do you have? (Not on the VM, though something similar might work there also)

I use OPNSense and have an allow rule for the specific IP and port my VPN uses from that VM’s IP. Then a block everything from the VM IP after the allow.

I can connect to the VPN no problem, updates and everything work through the VPN. When it goes down it trys to connect normally and fails.

DNS can be a problem when trying to connect to the VPN so make sure to use the IP

TrismegistusMx, do gaming w Saint Row developer, Volition, is shutting down
@TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

It’s pretty clear from the Saints Row remake that whatever magic that company once had is long gone anyway.

darthsid, do gaming w Saint Row developer, Volition, is shutting down

Ffs this is literally what most people predicted when these developers doubled down on the shitty direction of the new Saints Row.

Fisk400, do gaming w Saint Row developer, Volition, is shutting down

Am I correct in my understanding that Volition was doing fine but Embracer group fucked around with their money and now has to sacrifice a company that didn’t do anything wrong in order to save themselves?

nyankas,

I‘m not sure if I‘m missing something, but I‘d be really surprised if Volition was doing fine. Agents of Mayhem didn‘t do well at all and the Saints Row reboot was pretty terrible. Their last somewhat successful launch was probably the Saints Row 4 expansion back in 2015.

It‘s always sad to see a developer shut down, especially one with such history. But I can honestly understand closing a studio which hasn‘t had any great release for over eight years.

TWeaK, (edited )

By “fucked around with their money” is that perhaps a leveraged buyout? That’s what killed Toys R Us, and various other major high street brands, and it’s also what’s been happening to Twitter.

Edit: Apparently not. Embracer acquired Volition in 2013 after THQ went bankrupt and they put it under the Deep Silver subsidiary, then in 2022 Embracer moved moved Volition over to Gearbox, and then recently a multi-billion deal Embracer had lined up fell through so now they’re cutting costs and Volition ended up on the block. So maybe not so sinister, this one - the studio has been in decline since Agents of Mayhem in 2017.

adaveinthelife, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?

I’ll forget I’m a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.

Mine was Diablo IV. Thought it would rekindle my memories of rotting away at Diablo for significant parts of my life, and if I didn’t buy it at release I’d miss all the comradery and special events…biggest gaming purchase regret of recent memory. Of course I’m the type to not give up on something, so I blew past the playtime return window just enough to realize it’s the same addiction of lacklustre gameplay bolstered by occasional dopamine hits that I have to kick every time a new Diablo game gets released.

I’ll forget I’m a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.

adaveinthelife,

It was meant to mock the posts explaining how OP misused the term fomo, but it clearly didn’t land the way I expected it to at the time. I might have been tipsy.

Squabble3786, do gaming w Saint Row developer, Volition, is shutting down

I am deeply upset from the fact that management can decisively lay off talented staff without notice and impact their families financial security.

JokeDeity,

It’s the American way. Go out of your way for the shiny penny, don’t do anything to earn the dollar.

TWeaK,

Well the management are out of a job now, too. However in this case it’s the parent company that shut them down, because of the parent company’s financial troubles.

SheeEttin,

The other side of that coin is that employees can quit without notice.

Though really it’s not a balanced relationship. Businesses can absorb the loss of an employee much better than an individual can absorb the loss of a job.

The employees are still probably getting a layoff package, and they can file for unemployment, so it’s not like they’re out on the street, fortunately. We do have some protections in the US.

EmbeddedEntropy,

And the WARN Act.

@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

I’ve noticed plenty of torrents that don’t work right if you require encryption in your torrent client. If the client you used on Arch has encryption disabled by default but the Mint client has encryption mandated by default, this would explain the difference.
