15 minute old account, posts glowing review of some illegal service in a technology sub

Not suspicious at all!!

Yep, same. FF has been my go to browser for years

Story has been debunked. It’s a theoretical paper that was misinterpreted by a journalist

Personally, I’d expect it to be fine. There’s not a lot of CPU usage for those apps. The only part I see it potentially struggling is the file transfer (WiFi on the Zero W or Ethernet-over-USB).

Might be better to get a Pi 3b with Ethernet on board

Loads in archive.is for me:

Either word of mouth or browsing the recently added section on my Plex share

There’s a discord server that has a bunch of IPTV resellers. PM me if you want a link

Generally, these are referral only and for people you know IRL, not just online. I’ve never seen any discussion of them

I use TekLanVPN and they accept crypto (ETH included).

Yeah. It’s pretty common here

We have them in Spain. Really useful as my accountant has a copy of mine for my tax filing on their windows machines and I have it installed on my Linux laptop for interfacing with gov sites

I believe it is

It doesn’t. But some private trackers will hold you accountable for people you invite and request invites are given to friends/family only.

Most allow a VPN, AFAIK. Torrents are tracked via your secret key, not your IP address.

For me, a private tracker allows for API integration with Radarr/Sonarr/Readarr

Plus, it’s less likely I get takedown requests on my seed box.

You don’t need upload in GBs - lots of private trackers will use time uploading as an indicator too

Received an email from Plex:

“We’re contacting you to let you know about an upcoming action that is likely to affect your Plex Media Server setup. You’re receiving this notice because the IP address associated with a Plex Media Server on your account appears to come from a service provider that hosts a significant number of Plex Media Servers that violate our Terms of Service.”

I pay a few Euro a month for access to Plex with a lot of content. That content is hosted on Hetzner

Plex are banning Hetzner IPs because libraries are hosted there and shared with thousands. I see people are moving to Emby/JellyFin because Plex is trying to become the next Netflix app OS trying to clean up what they see as pirated content

There’s also a content server built into Calibre but I’ve never used it.

I use Ubooquity (a Java app with a web interface) that I share books with family and friends using the kindle browser

Edit: Just noticed a ‘wireless device connection’ option in the Connect/Share menu
