I believe they mean setting up a VPN on your network, rather than buying a service from a VPN provider.

Something like Wireguard lets you configure individual devices to access your network remotely.

Define "work".

If by "work", you mean contributing to the capitalistic growth of The Economy™, then no I wouldn't want to work.

If by "work" you mean meaningfully contribute to my community and society as a whole, yes I'd still want to work. Not every day, but I was on unemployment benefits for almost a year, and it gets boring after a while not feeling like a useful member of your community.

There's some confusion somewhere here, but I'm not entirely sure where. If you're using a torrent client, you're not using Real-Debrid. You can download torrents via Real-Debrid, but the torrent part is done on their servers. When you then download the files, you're not torrenting, you're downloading directly from Real-Debrid's servers.

If do you want torrent client recommendations, qbittorrent on PC and LibreTorrent on Android. Just know that you wouldn't be using Real-Debrid while using these.

Not at all, I just misread your comment!

They're talking about Real Debrid, which is a subscription service allowing access to hosters and easy conversion of torrents to direct streams. It's really cheap and absolutely worth the money IMO, but RD doesn't seed torrents. Distributing content in that manner would get them in heaps of legal trouble.

I guess it does somewhat solve the problem of leeching, as if anyone has streamed a torrent via RD in the past 30 days you'll just load their cached copy, but I was perhaps naïvely hoping for an actual addon (RD is not an addon but rather can be configured through Torrentio) that somehow seeded torrents I stream.

Which addon is that, if you don't mind sharing?

This is about trackers as in devices which can geolocate, such as Apple's airtags, not privacy-invading data collection in apps. Google obviously wouldn't care to address the latter.

There is also a Trakt add-on, like the other commenter said the integration isn't as seamless as a well-maintained Kodi setup, but it's definitely good enough that I've switched from Kodi to Stremio with Trakt being the way I organise my TV/movie watchlists.

Kodi + add-ons is great if you like tinkering, otherwise I would recommend Stremio with the Torrentio add-on. Stremio + Torrentio + Real-Debrid is the easiest way to consume pirated media IMO.

That's a fair criticism, but I wouldn't recommend Windows as a daily driver to 95% of people either. If you like/care/know about computers, use Linux, otherwise I'd recommend MacOS over Windows (unless said person uses their computer for gaming, in which case Windows'll give you the least hassle)

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

I would describe myself as firmly "in the middle", and I honestly don't disagree with your points overall. However, I think Windows isn't really "easier to use" than most Linux distros, it's just what most people are used to.

That doesn't take away from your argument, as being familiar with an OS will make it easier to use and that's completely valid, but someone who's used Linux all their life would similarly face struggles using Windows. User inertia is a huge factor contributing to Windows' marketshare.

Have you set up port forwarding for qbittorrent?
