I’m also in Germany. I use PIA which has been proven in court to be no-log. The setup is not as smooth as others (Port Forwarding requieres some scripting) but it is also one of the cheapest.

You can pay with crypto.

Nobody mentioned Popcorn Time? It is a bit torrent client with an integrated media player. It does exactly what you are asking + it has a great “poster wall” interface.

Fuck man this was one of my favorite trackers. I hope they get the situation under control.

I have private trackers and Usenet and my quality profiles in the *arrs mostly always pick from torrents. I will cancel my Usenet subscription. I also kinda like the grind of private trackers just for the heck of it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAWHAHAHAHAHQHAHAHAHAHAHQHQHhahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahah………………

Yes you could but then every time you need to service your Pi your whole house will be left without internet.

For me personally it was a great decision to move my containers from the Pi with pihole to a dedicated media server. I did not ever get a warning that resources were low again and I have no unrelated downtime.

As a bonus, I also have the Pi VPN in there, so I can basically restart my media server remotely and not lose connection :D

You don’t technically need a NAS, the Pi can be it, but you’d need a usb 3 enclosure (way cheaper than a NAS). But honestly just let your pihole be your pihole and don’t mess with it. You may wanna get a pi zero and use that as your DNS and your old pi as a Plex server.

Since you are asking in c/piracy, just download it. Either Blu-ray RIP or Web-DL (ripped from streaming services) will have far better quality than a DVD RIP. Unless is something unique, there is no real benefit in doing the leg work yourself.

If you want max bit-rate or lossless sound get a Blue-Ray remux. Otherwise WEB-DL looks as good for most people and weights a fraction.

Why wouldn’t you like developers to make a living? Do you expect to get a high quality app for free? Grow up.

No ads and a flat design that hasn’t changed in years. I could be wrong though, I’m not in the US, I just read about it.

Craigslist? AFAIK their business model is quite forward thinking.

The whole Arr suite, plus others. I have a 24/7 low power machine running the following on unRAID with containers:

• Radarr
• Sonarr
• Prowlarr
• Overserr
• qBittorrent
• a VPN container
• Recyclarr
• cross-seed
• qbit manage (this is key)
• unpackerr
• autobrr

I have more of course but this is what’s relevant to you.

I also have some custom scripts for patching some things up to my like.

There are semi private trackers out there that you can get an invite fairly easy, as do open signups pretty often.

You don’t need to think about it too much, as most 4K content usually crosses the trigger for freeleech. That means you are fine as long as you don’t do a Hit ’n Run, which in itself is an asshole thing to do.

I have a fully automated system and don’t even bother checking where I am downloading from, or what my ratios are, all is taken care in the background.
