I haven’t done this myself because it’s obviously very illegal, but I’ve been told you set up a server with docker and set up the following containers:

  • gluetun for VPN (exit in Switzerland with a fallback to Spain) as these countries have the laxest regulation re downloading licensed media.
  • radarr for film
  • sonarr for tv
  • other *arr instances for subtitles, music, ebooks etc
  • qbittorrent piped through the Gluetun container
  • jellyfish, plex or XBMC in front as a player.

But what do I know? I haven’t done it myself and only download large Linux distributions because I love distro-hopping.

I’ve cancelled Netflix. Just wasn’t using it enough for the price. Instead I will entertain myself by downloading Linux distributions on BitTorrent.

Well, sort of.

If he chooses to install an atomic distribution, for example, he might have a simpler time ensuring that he can help undo any curiosity damage his kids may have wrought.

If you fund, you influence.

Scale. Look at a programming language like Zig … tiny, but managing to have three people full time.

  • My self-hosted docker server is called Ark.
  • My NAS is called NAS.
  • The two remote servers are simply called the name of the country they reside in.
  • The OPNsense router is called, wait for it, Router.
  • The TV client is called TV.

It’s not very colourful :)

Ah right. I was totally unaware.

What’s wrong with PIA’s track record?

The US is hugely protectionist. Started under Trump, continued under Biden.

I mean in trade disputes it often does.

But you do realise there’s a difference between a business owning some data about its users in a well regulated democracy and the Chinese state having free access to a tonne of personal data about a vast amount of people in the West?

Also, I presume you are aware that China prohibits the export of data on Chinese citizens to western servers.

While it’s not exactly important who started it, China started it.
