  • Radarr now suggests not to use uTorrent

  • Yeah, Transmission is pretty nice, there's nothing wrong with it. It's also pretty popular among macOS users, because it looks and feels like a native app.

  • Has anyone even used uTorrent in the last decade?

    Edit: Apparently, unfortunately, yes

  • Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance

  • If you don't want to spend too much time with moderation, you will have to manually approve registrations, simply to avoid spam. Sure, that increases the workload slightly, as you're gonna have to go through applications let's say once a week, but you don't have to monitor the instance 24/7. I would still recommend checking reports once in a while, just to be on the safe side. But definitely make sure to deploy @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com's fedi-safety to prevent CSAM from being uploaded on your instance.

  • Getting Started with Self-Hosting?

  • Where should I host at?

    Recently I became a huge fan of just renting a small dedicated server with a seedbox provider. Because they are specialized in providing hosting for pirates, they are usually located in jurisdictions that don't give a fuck about the American DMCA. Check out seedhost.eu, they aren't as expensive, or Appbox.

    Will I need a VPN on the server too? If I’m torrenting, do I need to be careful which hosts I choose so I don’t get copyright pinged?

    Not if you use a seedbox or a dedicated server hosted by a seedbox provider.

    Is there a good guide for securing and hardening my server?

    Just follow some basic Linux server hardening advice, e.g. disable SSH root login, disable password login and use SSH keys, don't open unnecessary ports in your firewall, etc. If you're feeling fancy, you can set up an SSH tarpit on default port 22 and use a different port for actually logging in. This massively wastes the time of script kiddies who run automated SSH scanners.

    I’d like my partner and i to have easy access from home or on our mobiles

    For that I recommend Tailscale or Netbird.

    Any other guides you’d recommend?

    @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com posted an amazing guide some time ago: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5911320

    Any must have software or sites to know about?

    I like bitmagnet, it lets you run your own torrent indexer. It's basically your own, self-hosted alternative to SolidTorrents, BitSearch or BTDigg.Also check out Flood if you want a nicer web frontend for rTorrent, qBittorrent, Transmission or Deluge.Transdroid is pretty nice if you want to control the torrent client on your server from your Android phone.There's also qBitController if you use qBittorrent, or qBitControl if you're on iOS, but you have to sideload it using AltStore.

    Also make sure to join !qbittorrent@lemmy.dbzer0.com, !seedboxes@lemmy.dbzer0.com, !trackers@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !PrivateTrackers@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

  • If you actually read the post, you would have known, it does work, but there are some privacy concerns with it:

    “However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties.”

  • Just use dd. It's not that hard. You pass it 2 arguments: if= the file you want to flash, and of= the destination. If you're feeling fancy, pass in some status=progress. And don't forget to prepend it with sudo. That's it.

  • Not sure why we need an abstracted layer for F-Droid.

    Because the default F-Droid repository has some security issues: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

    IzzyOnDroid avoids this by using prebuilt binaries that are properly signed by the actual developers, instead of building and signing apps themselves like F-Droid does

    It also doesn't have as strict inclusion criteria as the default F-Droid repo, so it is able to offer more apps

  • Don't recommend Voyager as a desktop client to new users. It just looks like a stretched mobile app, and the UX on desktop is piss poor. Just go with the default Lemmy UI, or Photon.

  • I hadn’t noticed the OG app had been abandoned

    Last Git commit was on April 10th 2023, so it's safe to say that the repo is unmaintained

    The history of UAD goes back even further. The development started on GitLab (https://gitlab.com/W1nst0n/universal-android-debloater), but that repo was abandoned on October 7th 2021.
