not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

This reminds me of some peeps saying using Newpipe is “(app) piracy”. I wholly disagree with them to this day.
If a website, which YouTube.com is and allows a client to connect and use its services it isn’t, piracy per se.
Much like because I have a UK IP address I can hit up get_iplayer and use that service which IMO should be the norm.
e: apologies for not been helpful, I’m just ranting.
Gravity was spot on that day
tldr: You need to learn instead of sucking blood and/or being a bot
I don’t know if you’re in the UK right now but I can tell you right now that I can go round the corner and buy a SIM card in cash plus a top-up voucher, from someone like this guy

No you don’t.
I can go to the corner shop/local garage right now, buy a SIM card for 99p and then buy a top-up voucher in cash to have a completely anonymous phone number.
Albeit is the UK in Europe again? 🙈
edit: where I would be worried if my privacy was on the line is I could also go to the local pawn shop / Cash Converters to ensure that SIM card isn’t associated with an IMEI I’ve previously used and buy in cash a cheapo phone.
Yes, we can change, but it’s still installed and running services in the background if I recall.
You can disable or remove Chrome depending on your device
I run a simple combo of Firefox and Kiwi Browser so I get a taste of both browser engines and don’t really have any issues since I get extensions too in both.
The thing we do need to be observant about is Google Play Services and its tentacles of that sticky little system-priv framework and what it can do. AFAIK, it can still use Chrome even if disabled/removed during a Factory Reset and why there are FRP exploits using Chrome + webviews.
Goddamit, I got looking for a couple of the pubs I’ve been to down your end and ended up with the above.

Seems about right 👌

Us and Them
No doubt - there are many of these workers in the Office but I’m also seeing many stragglers doing fuck all and also delegating jobs out that they’re themselves fully capable of doing but instead of walking 100 yards sending an email + WhatsApp.
While I don’t use WhatsApp things get cycled down other channels and it annoys me no end. I’m a busy person 80% of the time but because these leeches can’t organise their weekdays they then try their best to offload their, work.
Moar deep grumbly noises.
The music industry needs to die off already.
You know what I find it akin to in the industry I work in and I know this gonna cause some controversy - but the 9-5 Mon-Fri managers we have at work.
I work something called Continental shifts which are basically days/nights/days/nights on a A/B/C/D rota throughout the space of a month.
What I find telling is we run absolutely fine on weekend days and all our night shifts but, we have these what I’m going to call leeches (but the controversial term is…Office Drones) just like the copyright fuckwads illustrated here that suddenly appear throughout the week and are a general nuisance?
They really don’t do anything I can see that benefits the company/industry other than sending emails etc for others to send them a report that’s readily available/start bullshit investigation etc.
They make me grumble these leeches :/
While I’ve used ClamAV and knew they had a Windows app as well as other platforms I’ve never heard of the above website, and it smells funny to me.

ClamAV has been around for years, and I’d throw caution to the wind with the above Windows executable from ClamWin…

Just had a nosey, that DSM 923 (Vs 423) doesn’t have a discreet GPU.
What rules are you putting on your downloads from the arrr’s, and do you find some struggle to transcode w/ Jellyfin?
I’ve had to lower the rules since it got silly trying to transcode 80GB+ files over the puny specs of the DSMs > N100 SFF box I’m testing with, and use them solely for NAS / arrrrrs. I still need to invest a little more I think :/
That’s what I’ve been curious about, but even still on a DSM 223 & 418 I’ve found them alright to an extent running Radarr/Sonarr/Transmission.
I did however run into problems trying to use them via Container Manager aka Docker on the DSM’s.
Jellyfin thou is definitely best run on something that can transcode media and the DSM’s are definitely not cut out for that, and if your Windows PC has an Intel processor will see you having less issues. Good luck you ;)
Maybe try it the other way like I’ve done?
Put the arrr stack + qbit on your Syn drive, mount the shares via NFS, and then use Jellyfin on your Windows PC?
edit: or, like you’re saying you’re wanting qbit behind your Mullvad put that on your Windows PC and tell Sonarr/Radarr that’s where the Download Client is
Are you running Jellyfin on the NAS as well as the arrr stack?
Also which Synology NAS do you have exactly and as someone else asked, what client / box are you using to access it with?
I’ve got a couple of Synology boxes and only run Radarr/Sonarr/Transmission on them and that’s it - Jellyfin is on another SFF PC and I’ve also been thinking of taking Transmission out of the Syn boxes since it nails them on large & multiple downloads.
I’d be curious how many account holders in the UK have actually been prosecuted for copyright infringement.
In nearly two decades with the same ISP (Telewest > Blueyonder > VirginMedia) I’ve had a grand total of two emails from them with no teeth in it, and still download what I want from public trackers to this day.
I get an actual letter from them? Yay, free toilet paper!
*typo
I prerecord like a minute ahead of the show starting and sound / video are both well.
But what happens is the audio mutes as soon as the starting credits roll. I don’t exactly get how they’re doing it since my TV’s DVB receiver plays it just fine.
I checked my HD recording of the new Attenborough Mammals show, and that did have audio so I’ll have to keep an eye ear out for it happening again.
I have a few TVHeadend servers running on Rasp Pi’s and have noticed some of the newer HD titles broadcast over DVB-T2 has the video stream but actually mute the audio. Frozen Planet on BBC was the most recent one I noticed.
SDTV streams are fine but they now mute the HD streams somehow on certain newer titles 🥺
To be honest Telegram doesn’t ban private groups “for piracy” and only takes out public groups that receive a DMCA.
I think the above user is pointing out a rather fun fact - if you’re in some of the many private groups where shit is shared freely…those wanting to ban it don’t like the fact that they can’t see in those private groups.
Like, is there any evidence of private groups being monitored by media corps or their lackeys in gov?
Lots and lots of sticker packs.
We’ve had a no piracy rule over in the Android subs/communities for years and the funny thing is, by time we ever got to someone trying to post a pirated APK the community themselves tore them a new arsehole.
Easiest rule to enforce when the community will absolutely hiss at you. Love em.
edit: a fun talking point I suppose is YouTube, and its app. We got a lot of people arguing that Newpipe ‘was piracy’ and I even had many debates with other members/mods about is it, or isn’t it piracy?
My view it’s a website that you can parse even with other tools like yt-dl, and if Youtube.com wanted to stop use of Newpipe / Revanced whatever they could in the blink of an eye.
So let me get this straight.
You’re being purposely opaque (aka, those in the knows comment) with sharing information around here?
Wouldn’t it be conducive sharing context here instead of a 4 character title most people (will use their preferred search engine) in the first place will have to search for?
:) You do know that bot is banned in lemdro.id right?
And to be fair, it is unsolicited bot spam (I miss BotDefense) although it ultimately is up to the admins and mods in this…instance and there is always the possibility of useful bots. Blanket blocking them via your profile seems a bit, meh, e: especially if you want to invoke one which is always the better way?
It was interesting as a concept, but streaming torrents have never been the optimal way
While this is true to some extent, I never had an issue with BitCast (Casted, torrents) until Google didn’t like it and banned it (edit: wait, have they unbanned that or is it visible to me because I had it prior installed?), even though they allow other torrent clients such as Flud etc.
Maybe they didn’t want Cast™ to be associated with arrrr’s but it worked well for me, especially for well seeded seas.
edit II: RIP
is available still to my Google Account because I had it prior. Time to play and see if it works still.
eIII: no bueno :(
The French are very defendant when it comes to VLC or other open sauce apps. I’d usually bring the Willy joke out but I’m with them on this one.
