I imagine the largest mobile phone operating system on the planet has a few more downloads than one of the several available package managers for the comparatively very small desktop Linux audience, yeah. This is the Linux community, not the Android or Google community, so I'm not sure what you're yapping away about or why.

edit: i wanted to know how many devices run android and according to this it's three billion so you're wrong anyway lmao

I was using Radarr/Sonarr to download files via qBittorrent and then hardlink them to an organized directory for Jellyfin, but I set up my container volume mappings incorrectly and it was only copying the files over, not hardlinking them. When I realized this, I fixed the volume mappings and ended up using fclones to deduplicate the existing files and it was amazing. It did exactly what I needed it to and it did it fast. Highly recommend fclones.

I've used it on Windows as well, but I've had much more trouble there since I like to write the output to a file first to double check it before catting the information back into fclones to actually deduplicate the files it found. I think running everything as admin works but I don't remember.

The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services (including the Pirate Bay and Torrentz) for illegal copies of TV episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks’ servers, according to federal prosecutors.

They probably used Sonarr and Radarr and called it a day (or similar off-the-shelf tools available on GitHub). It's not very sophisticated at all. That combined with Jellyfin and a VPN (or Usenet or a country that doesn't care about piracy) and you have your own up and running. You could also just use free sites with an ad blocker instead of paying $10/mo like the service this article is about charged.

It's probably not a bluff. They've pretty much saturated the U.S. market; there's not much room left to grow here. It would make more sense to focus their efforts on growing in other regions where they have plenty of headroom to increase their userbase and monetization. Depending on how things play out, they could match their current revenue in a matter of years and still have room left to grow. There's also the potential to re-enter the U.S. market down the line. Why would they throw that all away and essentially create their own competitor by selling their core technology and diluting/confusing their brand with whatever U.S. company they sell to?

I use Flow Launcher with Everything and love it (both installed via Scoop btw)

When I installed Nobara Linux on my younger sister's old hand-me-down laptop, I spent more time trying to get the WiFi card working then I did installing the new SSD and operating system. And this is a distro focused on making Linux more "works out of the box" than Fedora (which it's based on). This isn't something she would have been able to figure out on her own. I switched the laptop from Windows 10 because of how slow it was, but slow is better than no Internet if you aren't a tech nerd who can figure out what random ass commands to run to finally get WiFi working.

If not then there's always Navidrome which is built specifically for music. Haven't used it myself but lots of people seem to love it.

I like Jellyfin for my media server, including music.

On Android I use Symfonium (works with Jellyfin as well as other backends). Nothing comes close to this app imo.

On desktop I use Feishin which serves me well (Jellyfin only afaik). It's not perfect and it does have a bug where adding an album to queue will actually add all albums with that exact name to queue (even from different artists), but that issue is being tracked on GitHub and otherwise I run into few issues.

To clarify, they're not going after patent trolls afaik, just going to court when they're targeted by them (instead of forking up a payment to the patent troll company to avoid that). Iirc, the last patent troll they took to court ended up collapsing and isn't operating anymore.

They misinterpreted "metaverse platform, mozilla.social" as a single item in the list, not as two items.

For anyone who isn't aware, Mozilla has a thing called Mozilla Hubs that could be considered a metaverse product

I'm not sure if the piracy megathread or FMHY megathread cover the *arr stack specifically, but they have lots of information so I'm recommending them broadly for anyone wanting to ingest information about piracy.

Regarding what the arr stack even is:

Tldr, you set up a list of public and/or private trackers in Prowlarr or Jackett. In Radarr and Sonnar you set up movies and shows respectively that you want to keep track of. Rad/Sonarr check those trackers for releases for your tracked media matching criteria (like resolution, size, language, etc).

When it finds a matching release, it sends the torrent file or magnet link to your torrent client to download. When it finishes, Rad/Sonarr hardlink or copy the file to a library location and organize/name them according to rules you set.

You can point Jellyfin or Plex to that library location and all the media will be organized so it can easily figure out what media is there and grab metadata for it (cover images, description, ratings, etc). Then you can watch that media through Jellyfin/Plex or an app that plugs into them.

The *arrs also work with usenet if you'd prefer that over or in addition to torrenting with a vpn.

Hi. Usually I block people like you but I have a genuine question. Do you think that people actually "have 6 genders" or are you just making fun of the concept of gender in a broader sense by saying that?

Because the "take your meds schizo" makes it seem like you sincerely believe "having 6 genders" is a thing that people actually do and you're making fun of those people for how absurd that is. I'm just not sure if you mean it literally or metaphorically.
