    Yes project does not follow semantic versioning. But you can consider it it the 0.y.z state where it is even in the semantic versioning allowed to have breaking changes without major version increase.





  • Like it was already suggested, everything since intel 7th gen with quick sync should do the job for transcoding 4k hdr 10 bit releases, even the low tier i3 ones. You will also not need much ram for transcoding 8 should be fine, with a larger raid array go for 16 or above. When you watch stuff just once anyway, honestly you will not need much, a couple of TB should be more than enough. Not aware of any service that does automatic downloads based on a queue.







  • VPN, in addition to masking your real IP, will also encrypt all of your Internet traffic, even from your ISP.

    So does https. The only difference is that the ISP no longer can see which sites you are visiting. But now the VPN provider does.

    What does that mean? Encryption is a means of making your data unreadable to everybody except those with permission to view it (you and the other person you’re talking to; servers in this case). Your ISP (otherwise known as your Internet Service Provider) is not your friend. They will turn your Internet traffic data over if asked.

    Nope. Everyone who has the key can read the data. But usually only parties with permission do have it. Also no one is saving all the traffic data. Only metadata usually. And that is true for the VPN provider mostly too. They also have to turn over the data if they want to operate in the given country. The key is either using a VPN who claims (you as a user cannot verify it) to have zero logging or a very short log retention. Or to use a VPN provider outside your countries jurisdiction.
