baduhai, w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

Jellyfin is unable to do that. Your jellyfin instance is YOURS, there is no man in the middle like with Plex.

is there any listing of those I can check somewhere?

vreraan, (edited )

If you want 90% of the stuff indexed on pirate sites is dead or with only 1 seed, I haven’t found tools that take it automatically.

But there is this initiatives for books, books or paid courses are more subject to copyright strikes than entertainment material, therefore more difficult for students or workers to find.

libgen also uses IPFS and seems much better for this purpose.

SeaJ, w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

Geez. Hetzner is super affordable.

Anyway, as others have mentioned, Jellyfin is not a centralized service so that is not something they can do.

Even more so if you check out the auctions they have.

PolarisFx, (edited ) w Ripping Audible Audiobooks
@PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I checked out OpenAudible posted in this topic and it seems interesting, and might be a better choice. But if you’re looking to rip your audible files yourself you’ll want inAudible: github.com/rmcrackan/inAudible

There are other options around, but none of them are as free or as good as inAudible, IMO.

Fermiverse,

Ripping myself is what I did with Libation as suggested here. You log into your audible account when starting the software for the first time, your libary is shown and you can start to download.

When adjusting the auto tagging then audiibookshelf automatically sorts the stuff in the correct way with series etc.

Perfect combination and totally free.

I used to just seed Epic exclusives. Now there aren't any Epic exclusives*. Coincidence? I think not.

*Other than Kingdom Hearts grrr

Red flags are always free. Upfront anyway. You pay for them at an unexpected time in unpleasant ways later. So feel free to have as many as Unity is providing. 😊

ArcaneSlime,

This needs to be adapted into a three part movie (think Creepshow) where a seemingly innocuous vendor selling flags rather than balloons is the “host” and the people who buy red ones get them free…but “You pay for them at an unexpected time in unpleasant ways later.” And all the parts are just FULL of red flags the characters don’t see but the audience does (as per usual in most horror films).

cmysmiaczxotoy, w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

Jellyfin can’t block media. The connections are direct. Jellyfin db performance is noticeably slower than plex with 500k media items but it can still handle it

brickfrog, (edited ) w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

I’ve been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I’m worried they will do the same thing in future.

Currently would not be possible. Jellyfin does not have the sort of centralized accounts/logins that Plex does e.g. you’re not asking Jellyfin devs for permission to log into your own server. That’s just a Plex thing.

If you’re asking could they add that “feature” in the future? Highly unlikely but I guess anything is possible. Were that to happen most likely the code would get forked into a new project.

PS - Jellyfin itself is a fork from Emby back when those devs decided to close their source. Myself & tons of other people dropped Emby at that point & migrated to Jellyfin. jellyfin.org/docs/general/about/

Vaggumon,
@Vaggumon@lemm.ee avatar

I haven’t had a chance to do the research yet, so pardon a dumb question that might have an easy answer. With the setup I’ve described, would JellyFin just be a drop in replacement or would I need to drastically change things to get the same basic work flow?

brickfrog, (edited )

Offhand it sounds like it could be a drop in replacement for you. But there are a lot of other variables you’d need to consider e.g. if you require specific app/TV support & don’t like the current Jellyfin offerings.

Maybe others can clarify or you can post with any specific requirements/questions in the Jellyfin forums or the lemmy communities !jellyfin / !jellyfin

That aside you could always just try it out & see how you like it.

Vaggumon,
@Vaggumon@lemm.ee avatar

Ultimately, I think that is what I am doing, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask someone with experience with the software already just in case there was an obviouls big red stop sign I was missing. Looks like I have other plans this weekend then playing more Stanfield or Baluder’s Gate 3. Thanks for the help and info.

Plex is so bizarre. I consider myself a tech-savvy person, but I can’t wrap my head around the concept of “I host Example App on my servers. I host, maintain, and pay for the instance of Example App and servers myself. I also pay for a license for Example App. But Example Company controls my instance.” It’s so foreign to everything you can host yourself. It’s such an unfair commercial practice that I can’t for the life of me explain how such a model can survive. Self-hosting is about regaining control in my books. Yet Plex over here thinks they can not only shove down the maintenance burden and costs of everything down my throat, but also control access to my data. The solution to Plex’s retarded ToS violation situation is for Plex to say shit happens, how about we stop controlling everything you do with Plex to such an excessive degree that the media mafia can accuse us of empowering piracy instead of… the person who hosts pirated media on their server? Plex’s biggest business liability is Plex’s own business practices. They’re practically begging the media mafia to sue them.

hitmyspot,

I thought the phone home was to make it easy to have different devices talk to each other. It’s similar for a lot of IoT products. If properly set up, they don’t need to phone home and can find each other with the setting ayku input. However, many users are less technical and automating this through a central service makes it easier. Most companies also use this to scoop up personal info too, unfortunately.

Nioxic, (edited ) w What are the best alternatives to The Pirate Bay in 2023?

Qbittorrent:

In the menu theres a search engine you can activate

It requires python but it will more or less auto install it all for you.

Go to the new tab and in the bottom theres a link to a page where you can download plugins for the search function (or maybe you need to just search first? Its been a while… lol)

Download the ones you want. (I just downloaded them all), and throw them into a folder (its all .py files)

Tell the search plugin to install the plugins from that folder. It can inatall them all at once. Just press OK to the ones that might be outdated.

Search for something. Sort/filter as needed, and download.

You can basically download most torrents without opening a browser.

Alternatively the megathread is decent

ArcaneSlime,

To add to this:

Do this, but instead of “add the ones you want” just add Jackett, then go to their github (you can actually get there through the “add the ones you want” menu in qbit, click

search -> search plugins -> “You can get new search engine plugins here: [URL]” -> [In the sidebar of that page] click “How to configure Jackett plugin” -> click “Jackett” to get to their repo and “this address” to get the stuff to copy for your jackett.py file for qbit and stick it in the right folder, which will depend on your OS.

redditReallySucks, w Why WARP is OK for torrenting
@redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

To me it is not 100% clear if your IP is always hidden

This community post talks about mixed results although it says that issue was fixed

A quick Google search and many sites say that warp does not hide your IP altough some say that they added that feature

However this post and this post from the cloudflare team says it does hide your ip.

Bakery7328, (edited )

I believe the feature was included at the end of 2022. I know it works right now because I tested with the ip-leak checkers

redditReallySucks,
@redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Cloudflares blog posts say so so I assume this is true but I would still recommend everyone to verify this for themselves before receiving letters from law firms.

Pulp, (edited )

When you visit a site that using Cloudflare, the site receives your IP address in a header. Sites not using Cloudflare do not. When torrenting, it’s possible that one of the trackers uses Cloudflare and gets your IP in that header, but it’s not a concern as other peers only receive the VPN IP.

Bakery7328, (edited )

This was true in the past.

But right now, according to this, they deny it specically: “WARP replaces your original IP address with a Cloudflare IP […]. This happens regardless of whether the site is on the Cloudflare network or not.

I don’t know of a checker to individually verify this quickly, but I assume they say the truth.

Anyway, I think you are right in that it wouldn’t be a concern for torrenting, if it was true for the present.

Edit: I found a tool to verify this now: this http header checker is using Cloudflare according to the urlvoid scan. And I can’t see my real IP in the X-Forwarded-For and CF-Connecting-IP HTTP headers

mark7869,
@mark7869@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Websites and third party services often infer geolocation from your IP address, and now, 1.1.1.1 + WARP replaces your original IP address with one that consistently and accurately represents your approximate location.

no thanks I don’t want to reveal my approximate location

Firewall your pirated games

Nankeru, (edited )
@Nankeru@reddthat.com avatar

That was my thought as well, since they count installs and not use count of bought copies directly from a platform.

What if people create cracks for legit purchased games, e.g. on Steam, which only removes the Unity tracking part?

A simple Firewall rule which “fixes it” for all games installed on a machine might work as well?

I believe it might be similar or the same procedure for every game using Unity. We might see this popping up at some point.
