thisusernameistaken, w Finding mainstream media on usenet - am I doing it wrong?

the older stuff on newsdemon is hit or miss anyways cause of the way they handle their storage so it will be hard to know if its gone cause they suck or gone cause of takedown.

omalaul,

Overall not too happy with the performance but wanted a provider that accepted crypto

thisusernameistaken,

i can understand that about crypto. Fwiw, this discussion was posted recently about usenet and crypto, lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/2612428 Others take crypto and several of the ones mentioned take it directly without a processor and have better perf. than the newsdemon system.

I use PIA because it’s cheap as dirt. I don’t use their client and I have it setup so exclusively my torrent client uses it. It works for my use case because I’m pretty much just trying to avoid nasty letters from my ISP. I wouldn’t trust them with any of my regular traffic because they’re sketchy and there’s got to be a reason they’re so cheap.

Although I would consider what your usecase for a VPN is - ie what attack vectors are you trying to protect against when using it for regular traffic? There’s arguably very little a VPN does to protect you on public WiFi and also opens you up to new risks

DonnieDarkmode,

Well my hope was that it would protect against things like packet sniffing and in case I connect to an evil twin (if I’m using that term correctly). But I’ll be the first to admit my knowledge there is incredibly limited, and I wasn’t aware that it would actually create new vulnerabilities. Would you be able to explain a bit?

DudePluto, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

I’d recommend deciding what you’re looking for in a VPN, then using r/VPN’s comparison guide to find which one suits your wants.

Is this the best method? Idk, but it’s what I did and I’m pretty satisfied. I decided that the most important factors to me were port-forwarding, price, speed, leak protection, and encryption - basically in that order. Using that criteria I settled on AirVPN, and I have no complaints so far (one month in).

Some people care more about ethics, or ownership, or what have you. So what you think is the best VPN will depend on your needs. There’s no perfect VPN anymore, imo

Edit: As others have pointed out, some VPNs also come in optional packages. Ones such as Proton. That’s something else to consider if you’re in the market for stuff like antivirus or secure email

DonnieDarkmode,

I’ll check it out! I’ve used trustworthy compilation lists to pick my PSU and PDF software so I don’t see the problem hahaha

Nerdic, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

It’s slim pickings now if you need port forwarding. The vpns with the best privacy practices have left it behind. Windscribe has the best policies while retaining forwarding at the moment imo. You have to pay extra though unfortunately…

DonnieDarkmode,

Ah damn. From what I understand, that lack of port forwarding is what’s hurting my download speeds on torrents. Windscribe wasn’t on my radar though, I’ll check it out

darcmage, w IPTV Setup Guide?
Scrof, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

I use MullvadVPN and have no issues. In fact you can even pay for it anonymously and it has a cute mole for mascot.

DreadPotato,

Doesn’t have port forwarding anymore though

  • DreadPotato,

    Of course it isn’t, but OP mentioned it and mullvad doesn’t support it.

    d3lta19, w Finding mainstream media on usenet - am I doing it wrong?

    I have the same indexers as you, but I use ninja and farm for my servers. I have no problem whatsoever finding anything relatively popular from the last 20 years or so. I would look at your servers

    B3_CHAD, w Is anyone concer about denuvo on switch?

    Yeah, it sucks but then what can we do to prevent it… absolutely nothing. We have only one person willing to crack denuvo for a select few games and who knows when she might quit. Video game piracy has been in a tricky spot for sometime now.

    bblfrnz, w 5th Edition D&D books?

    Search for The Amber Room in tg, it’s basically a new Trove.

    fernandu00, w My 2tb jellyfin server with a disney collection go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    I have a small 1tb collection …love jellyfin and it’s UI but I miss kodi when it comes to scrapping metadata and playing all formats …I use jellyfin mostly because of its ui and because my crappy TV can’t handle kodi very well

    domi,
    @domi@lemmy.secnd.me avatar

    Why not use the best of both worlds? jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/kodi/

    I use Kodi on my HTPC and the Jellyfin client on my phone and PC.

    fernandu00,

    Yeah I tried one of them but either way I’d have to follow the jellyfin standards to name the files and have to use kodi to run them …the best way for me would be having kodi to scrape the library no matter how messy it is …and jellyfin would just play it because my TV is garbage and crashes on kodi

    jodie, w To those who use IPTV services, why?

    I did the same thing at first. However, many times those free websites are very unstable, especially when I was in the middle of watching something exciting. It's quite frustrating and makes you question life. On top of that, the constant ads were annoying. Later on, I went searching for a reliable IPTV service. Besides spending some money each month, I no longer had to deal with that annoyance.

    jlow, w CBZ File Guide

    You can just change .zip to .cbz either manually via a filebrowser or a script (cbz are essentially just zips).

    I think .cbz can only contain images, no subfolders, so maybe you need to make a .cbz per chapter or do a lot of remaming to be able to put them in one directory.

    Cbr is the same but for .rar files (which are not open source?).

    I think there is a program for adding metadata to manga like Comictagger (which does not work too well for manga) but I can’t remember the name …

    jlow,

    Looks like I was wrong about the subfolders! Just tested it and it looks like you can just zip a bunch of folders called chapter 1, 2, 3, etc, rename to .cbz and at least Komga and YACreader seem to just go through all of them when reading. Very cool!

    CTdummy, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

    I’ll see if I bookmarked it but there was a site with a bunch of VPNs listed with their privacy/functionality compared. Using it as a reference I ended up on Mullvad VPN. Super simple set up for the basic stuff with some more functionality under the hood if you need. iOS and windows app for quick set up too. My experience with them has been only positive so far.

    theangriestbird, (edited )

    Idk if this was the article you were thinking of, but I used this article from torrentfreak and also settled on Mullvad. I’ve been subscribed for years, they’re great and pretty cheap.

    Edit: I reread your post and realized that you’re looking for a VPN with port forwarding. Frankly, I trust Mullvad enough at this point that if they removed port forwarding as a feature, then I assume that feature is probably just a bad idea for VPNs in general.

    I need a VPN with port forwarding because I want to host game servers behind a CG/NAT. So there's at least one reason why they should still be featured.

    DogMuffins,

    I think hosting something and wanting inbound traffic through a VPN is a pretty unusual use case.

    xilliah, w For a copy of Photoshop on macOS Is it current possibly to get generative fill working?

    FYI Krita and Gimp should have plugins for that.

    wolfshadowheart,
    @wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

    Krita does a decent job but for my workflows I definitely want the Photoshop plugin.

    I would imagine MacOS has a harder time with generative fill, you'd be using Adobe's and not Stable Diffusion (which I'm pretty sure if what these non-Adobe plugins all run from).

    I mean, if there's a way to get a stable diffusion server running for you and then you... no I had to look it up, I think this looks like your best bet and even then... I'm not sure

    halagascan, w IPTV Setup Guide?

    9krpm, are they on discord? channel list? need more info

    9krpm,
