Just noticing this, thank you!

I use SyncThing to monitor and copy my photos to an (encrypted, offsite) drive.

Not really what I was looking for but thanks for the suggestion.

On every site I’ve checked it uses a random css tag so can’t block more than one.

The simple answer:

Get Qbittorrent and use it’s built-in search engine.

The fully automated gay space answer:

• Look into selfhosting - (optional but makes it easier/coler)
• Look into Plex (or Emby or Jellyfin) - optional but makes it pretty

These are the apps you’ll need:

• Radarr - Gets movies
• Sonarr - Gets tv shows automatically as they come out
• Prowlarr - the thing that does the searching for radarr/sonarr.
• Overseerr - Makes it simple to request stuff
• Qbittorrent - downloads things

(There is also Lidarr for music and Readarr for books)

If all set up correctly, you simply just request something with Overseerr and it shows up in Plex minutes later with artwork and metadata all pulled in and presented nicely. You can configure the apps to look for specific resolutions/file sizes/formats/etc. TV shows are downloaded as soon as a new episode is released. It’s better than any streaming service by leaps and bounds.

I’m getting hung up because nobody clarified that until now thank you.

I did actually do it this way for a while, it’s clunky but works. Unfortunately my Firefox container stopped loading, I tried Chrome and N.eko which also had issues and I’m not experienced enough to overcome those.

That’s promising, can you point me in the right direction?

The staff were the ones who told me there’s no workaround except to purchase a seedbox

I should have clarified, not browsing, but the torrent/magnet link won’t work. I can’t browse from one PC then paste the link into qBittorrent on the server.

Eh, anyone who knows what “Install an add-on from a repo” means also knows how to install firefox despite it being “censored”.

That list doesn’t work anymore. UBO throws a network error.

There is this list, which is not the same one from BPC but has been recommended to me before.

On Android it’s easier to just use the version in the Firefox add-on store:

It’s not that hard. The easiest way to start is probably get qBittorrent, which has built-in search of several major torrent sites at once.

Agreed I do pretty much the same.

I’m not sure what you’re asking exactly, but the reason older and niche content is harder/slower to find sometimes is because there are fewer people out there sharing (“seeding”) the files.

You could probably install a home server management software like TrueNAS Homearr or CasaOS on your Pi and just download the “apps” that way.

The large files are such better quality, though (if you care about such things and have a TV that allows you to appreciate the extra detail).

Torrenting will have everything you want within 48hrs (at the longest) as long as your tastes are relatively current and mainstream. If you are into older or more niche content you’ll still likely need Criterion or Canopy etc.

I don’t know why nobody has mentioned Anytype, which is excellent and just recently added collaboration.
