  • This is super basic but I need to find a better email option

    Jump

  • To DIY you can buy your own domain and attach it to any paid email provider, then you get an infinite amount of temporary addresses. e.g. if you own @ rumschlumpel.blahblahblah.org then you can create abc@ , xyz@ , abc123@ , etc. as much as you like.

    Just about all the email provider suggestions in this thread have a paid tier that you can configure your own domain with.

  • Selfhosted Bitcoin address monitoring

    Jump

  • Edit: why the downvotes?

    Users on lemmy.world are generally very anti cryptocurrency, they're going to downvote anything discussing the topic. Just browse other cryptocurrency posts in this instance and read all the .world comments.

    re: your question I suspect to truly selfhost you'd need to sync the bitcoin blockchain onto your own system and work from there, either with the official client or some other heavy wallet. Beyond that not sure, may need to script a query to your local wallet to monitor for changes to specific BTC addresses (if something doesn't already exist to do this).

  • So, I used to have my own VPS

    Not sure if this is a requirement for you but if you are used to using your own VPS then you might be used to have root / SSH access. When browsing seedbox services you may want to double-check if their plan(s) offer that.

  • How to add torrents with only the downloaded file?

    Jump

  • That's a tough one, if these are public torrents you may be stuck having to search for the torrents one-by-one and hope you can find their associated .torrent files to re-seed the torrents.

    You do need a .torrent file, or bare minimum a magnet link to an active/non-dead swarm, to be able to re-seed torrents with existing data. Magnet links without any current peers on them are a bit useless for this task unfortunately.

    If these torrents are from private trackers you can check the private tracker website(s), many of them have a feature to allow you to re-download all the .torrent files you previously downloaded from the tracker.

  • Odin - a self-hosted FOSS streaming service.

  • I also started becoming paranoid, whether someone was collecting my data and offering them to “the highest bidder”

    Debrid services do collect data, the recent RealDebrid drama seems relevant since this app is basically for use with those services

    It actually seems more private to self host Jellyfin to stream/playback already downloaded media files but that's just my own interpretation.

  • Peer-to-peer serverless decentralized social media protocol built on The IPFS

    Jump

  • Definitely I could see this being useful for discussing things that would traditionally be censored on other more centralized or semi-decentralized platforms (piracy, anti-authoritarian discussions in an oppressive country, etc).

    IPFS by default isn't set up to work around censorship or anything of the sort. Protocol Labs (creator/maintainer of IPFS and Filecoin) have always honored copyright takedowns, etc. on their own infrastructure and have done a fair amount of work on content blocking within the default IPFS clients and such.

    e.g. https://blog.ipfs.tech/2023-content-blocking-for-the-ipfs-stack

  • When Is it Time to Look Into Private Trackers or Usenet?

    Jump

  • I tend to look towards full blu-ray/remuxes/flac that sort of thing, private trackers are more suited towards that with both p2p groups as well as the general scene groups.

    Public torrents work well enough but the release groups that cater to public torrent indexers tend to be in a race to the smallest file possible. Hence you see a ton of "4K" uploads that are tiny for download but are crap for playback beyond a phone screen. Even yify himself knew he wasn't aiming for quality encodes. But generally speaking there will always be people looking for those type of uploads and public torrents do cater towards that.

  • I have tried I2P, here is my take.

    Jump

  • That client still does not support DHT via I2P correct? That's what their github page says

    https://github.com/majestrate/XD

    I haven't bothered trying it since it lacks DHT. For torrenting I2P with DHT I guess people are mainly going to use I2PSnark. (BiglyBT has limited support for I2P DHT but it is clunky and not very usable)

    For torrenting I2P without DHT qBittorrent is working well, granted it is still quite new to the I2P scene.

  • I have tried I2P, here is my take.

    Jump

  • Officially it should work, but I couldn’t get any peers.

    Officially it won't work. It's impossible for qBittorrent to support DHT via I2P when Libtorrent itself does not support it. qBittorrent along with many other torrent clients are based on Libtorrent.

    https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/7408

    qBittorrent works well enough as long as you're adding I2P trackers to public torrents you want to find I2P peers with. It's not great but for now that may be the best solution aside from using I2PSnark (which like you said isn't that great).

  • Has anyone tried I2P for torrenting? How is it?

    Jump

  • qBittorrent won't attempt to find any I2P peers unless you add I2P trackers to the torrents. After that it's hit or miss similar to public torrents.

    These are working public trackers in I2P that I know of:

    http://w7tpbzncbcocrqtwwm3nezhnnsw4ozadvi2hmvzdhrqzfxfum7wa.b32.i2p/a

    http://opentracker.skank.i2p/a

    http://opentracker.r4sas.i2p/a

    http://opentracker.dg2.i2p/a

    This tracker is also in I2P but it only tracks torrents registered at their site:

    http://tracker2.postman.i2p/announce.php

    only i2psnark, but i2psnark is an awful client.

    Agreed. On the upside it's been around much longer for torrenting within I2P so I suspect a lot of I2P users just have that set up for torrenting purposes and that's how it's been for years.

  • Has anyone tried I2P for torrenting? How is it?

    Jump

  • It's not how I normally torrent but it does seem to work okay. I've been experimenting with cross-seeding public torrents into I2P via qBittorrent 5.x (just using I2P, not torrenting publicly / no mixed mode / no need for VPN).

    I've only picked up a few peers needing torrents I cross seed that way but otherwise does seem to work. Mainly the test torrents seem to get more hits e.g. seeding Ubuntu Linux ISOs so other people can test their torrent I2P setups.

    I will add that currently I2P torrenting is a bit limited since Libtorrent itself does not support DHT via I2P so torrent clients like qBittorrent won't either. You always need to add I2P trackers to your torrents if you intend to torrent within I2P using qBittorrent or any Libtorrent based client.

    The only torrent client that has the ability to torrent via DHT on I2P is I2P's own built-in torrent client (i2psnark) but that client has a lot of its own limitations, it's hard to use it as a primary torrent client.

  • A few questions about stuff i found in the megathreads out of curiosity.

    Jump

  • Question about radarr movie collections

    Jump

  • Or do most people not put movies in actuall collection folders

    That's possible.. I mean there's got to be people using collections the way you're trying to use them but generally speaking media apps like Kodi / Jellyfin / Plex /etc. are scanning movies as

    root folder / movie name / movie file(s) or folder

    so e.g.

    c:\movies\Awesome.Movie.2024\Awesome.Movie.2024.mkv

    c:\movies\Awesome.Movie.2024\Awesome.Movie.complete.bluray.2024\

    Would be the typical scan folder structure.

    That said I don't put stuff in collections the way you're describing so can't speak to how that should work but hopefully there's others here doing collections like that to comment on that.

    Worst case you may want to hop into one of the Radarr support channels to ask there, I think(?) they have Discord support.

  • That's sort of how I'm understanding it, they're talking about the build process specifically and want to re-base their toolset to BSD/Linux. Not sure what their current build process entails but like you said it could be they're currently stuck with some sort of proprietary / Apple specific software.
