usually college networks have a Mac address whitelist, so you need to turn off Mac spoofing in order to connect

My guess would be that companies will probably go after the 99.9% of people that torrent on public trackers, while ignoring private ones since it’s not worth it to go to all that trouble just to track the last 0.1%

doesn’t Anna’s archive already include those two sources or is it incomplete?

looks like a good privacy respecting one, but remember that you need root/microg to use it, so you are kinda stuck if you’re on stock android

nope, it’s actually used system wide for many things, mostly low power geolocation, apple has it’s own NLP system, and there’s actually a few privacy respecting ones which you can use if you have a rooted phone (Mozilla NLP/DejaVu NLP, with the latter being offline and relying on a database made by itself using the data from a time you had both GPS and wifi active)

i’ve had this issue so many times I just gave up and now use gimp from vnc connected on localhost to termux

my spin of it

CAPod

not just researchers, i used this all the time back when data was much more costly and i had only 3 gigs a month, but they patched it after a couple years

basically when i was out of data a page from the isp’s website would pop up saying “Buy more data”, and that’s all i needed to spoof

Idk how it used to work, but i found what you wanted by sealing the seas

im gonna have to cope by using my sideloaded modded apps!!!

pw?

wow! i have to admit i often leech from public trackers since my vpn doesn’t support port forwarding anymore (mullvad) so i didn’t really know of the setup to get a good ratio, only the downloading part. I’ll have to look into it. by the way, do you use a vpn with port forwarding or just use trusted private trackers?

how did you set it up (like, what’s the process a file would do to get downloaded)? this seems a bit more complex then the normal *arr stack setup

PolyMC had some drama a while ago with a hostile takeover by a dev. The other original devs forked it and are now continuing the development at Prism launcher

edit: whoops! i made an error reading and didnt notice the two l’s

I meant free streaming sites with reuploads, but the other point still stand strong, thanks

not discrediting you, this is just my point of view. Media being removed is in not really a problem on streaming sites since there’s usually many where you can watch the same thing, and as for point 4 streaming sites are basically the same.

I guess it’s just different usage because I don’t really like rewatching things and my family doesn’t usually watch movies/TV series.

So in the end the only thing I don’t like with how I do it is not being able to physically have the files

EDIT: I just realized I should have specified by streaming sites I mean the shady ones, in my country we use different words

Nice guide! However, I’ve always wondered if all of these even make sense. Like, can’t you just stream from the internet? I understand having thing on your physical storage device is an extra degree of freedom but it’s very rare for me watching something more then once. Also while you can technically run it off a Raspberry Pi, it’s not really recommended and you would need a separate PC which just adds to the cost. Meanwhile, with a simple app like Cloudstream, you can just get whatever you want whenever you want. The only advantage I see of the *arr +media server approach is not needing to connect to a VPN.

EDIT: After reading the replys just realized I should have specified by streaming sites I mean the shady ones, in my country we use different words and I see how that can confuse some people
