AllDebrid or Premiumize are both popular alternatives. AD is considerably cheaper, even with Premiumize’s Black Friday sale in right now. However, Premiumize allows multiple connections, so if you can split the cost with someone, it becomes the cheaper option.

No, this is a bookmark software. You can probably use JDownloader for this to scrape a URL for downloadable content, depending on how the site you use is formatted.

Just because your personal computer isn’t Windows, plenty of servers that contain your data are.

They updated the YT plugin which doesn’t require a full apk update, only a plugin update.

I like GrayJay. It has a PeerTube plugin.

No, but it is in the megathread both here and on Reddit. It’s practically the largest video game soundtrack website/forum that exists right now with the exception of maybe Soulseek.

Is it really underground if you can just go to the website and sign up?

Back in 2019 some releases installed directly from IGG-GAMES contained crypto miners. They also added their own DRM to releases. Since then I have stayed away and never looked back.

Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn’t work.

A small whiteboard on the fridge perhaps?

If you need to throw in the towel on email self-hosting, don’t be ashamed. Mail servers are one of the more difficult projects to run. If you do end up outsourcing this, I recommend SendGrid, it’s reliable and free.

hallowed is the internal release group at MTV. Their aim is to produce highly streamable (think Plex/Jellyfin) but still high quality encodes. They also always include English subs and dual audio for foreign films. The quality of their releases are good but very few as they only started releasing under that name about 5 months ago.

However, if you are gunning for highest possible quality/bitrate (and file size) you can get, go with releases by CtrlHD, MainFrame or W4NK3R.

Windows - JDownloader

Android - Unchained

Tixati isn’t whitelisted on pretty much any private tracker because of how easy it makes spoofing other clients.

You have to add the FUTO repo https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo/

Sorting a music library is a very manual process. Your best bet is MusicBrainz Picard to clean up your metadata then use something like Lidarr and Lidarr Extended to maintain and continue to add to your library.

FraMeSTor is the internal group at BHD. EPSiLON was previously releasing on PHD but left a couple years ago. They release to TL but are not nearly as active as they once were.

I prioritize FraMeSTor, and they have more releases post-2020.

Cloudflare’s CAPTCHA is Turnstile. I’ve found it very useful. It doesn’t use pick the image or type the text, it’s just tick the box. You can even set it to invisible, then the user doesn’t need to even do that, the challenge is sent to the browser and is completed automatically.

In terms of privacy, it’s is still Cloudflare, but at least it’s not intrusive to the user experience.

Cloudflare’s Turnstile has an invisible mode that you’re probably using in a lot of places and aren’t aware of it. It provides an invisible challenge to the browser and requires no interaction. I would say no input require in quite user-friendly.
