  • Tailscale isn’t necessary, it’s just what I use for remote access. And you can use Jellyfin/Emby/Kodi with Radarr too, it’s not specific to Plex.

    SOCKS5 proxy keeps the letters away (I live in NYC). I’ve read that it’s because ISP’s don’t bother actually monitoring torrent traffic. They only act when a copyright holder reports your IP for piracy. So if you hide your IP then they can’t see you.

    A proxy is not encrypted, to be clear. But it turns out encryption isn’t actually necessary if you just want your ISP to stop bugging you. If laws change and torrenting becomes more dangerous, I’ll probably switch to a proper VPN. But a proxy is faster and easier.


  • I have Plex, Radarr, Prowlarr, and Qbittorrent all installed on the same dedicated server. I’m using a SOCKS5 proxy instead of a VPN, it works great because I set up Qbittorrent to use the proxy and I just leave it running 24/7. I also have Tailscale installed for remote access, setup for that is dead simple.

    Here’s my workflow if I’m away from home:

    1. Turn on Tailscale on my phone.
    2. Open my radar app (it’s called LunaSea).
    3. Search for and add the movie I want.

    That’s it. If I’m already at home, step 1 is not necessary.

    Prowlarr and Radarr find the movie on my registered indexers, at the desired quality, and send the torrent to Qbittorrent. Then when the download is finished they automatically rename the files and move them to my Plex library (and they could do the same with Jellyfin). Roughly 10 minutes after I finish step 3 (more or less depending on seeds), the movie magically appears in my Plex library. I don’t have to turn a VPN on or off.

    Obviously there are various forms of sugar in a lot of things, it’s just a carbohydrate. My point is that there is zero reason to ever ADD sugar to any food, period. It is not an essential nutrient and it does not add anything beneficial other than flavor. It only promotes tooth decay, diabetes, and eventual organ failure. Yum.


  • Yep, that’s the main problem with all the buzzword substances that diet culture is obsessed with: fat, salt, carbs, etc… All of those are fine in moderation, but the problem is that the processed garbage that the average person eats for lunch contains a RIDICULOUS amount of those things.

    Not sugar, though. Sugar is just bad for you, full stop. 😆
