Have you looked at Trash Guides and set up quality profiles and custom formats?

Nobody said both sides are the same. Grow a spine

Oh I know about how he used to be. I just thought something else happened given the recent US political climate

Did I miss something? Since when is PewDiePie a nazi

Arch because I wanted to see what the hype about installing it was about and then i just kept it

Can someone fill me in on why this is funny

For torrenting purposes only, vpn doesn’t really matter as long it properly hides your ip (even the overpriced ones that don’t actually respect privacy)

Proton is still a good recommendation as long as you pay for premium, but I’ve started using airvpn since the proton ceo started getting weird. Mullvad is also good, but doesn’t allow port forwarding, which isn’t the end of the world but could have some negative effects (at least one person needs a forwarded port for you to connect to each other, and if you’re not forwarding yours, you’re relying on other people to forward theirs)

Tldr: proton is good, just pay for it. Airvpn and mullvad are also good

Wow I wish I had this a year ago. One thing though: a proton free account should not be used for torrenting as they don’t allow p2p connections. If you’re going to torrent, pay for your vpn

I’m pretty sure your supposed to set up W10 first (press “I don’t have a product key”) and then run the script after it puts you in

1. I host at home so unfortunately can’t give you any advice on a vps

2. If you’re torrenting, yes I would recommend a VPN. If you’re setting up docker containers, gluetun is what you want to use. It’s a client you can use to connect to most major VPN providers

3. You don’t need to open your server to the internet for you or your partner to remotely access it. You can use tailscale (or manually setup wireguard) to remotely access it without exposing anything. Alternatively, if you still want to open it, you can use fail2ban. I don’t know enough about networking to tell you exactly how secure it makes you, but assuming you’re a normal guy who isn’t pissing off any major corporations/states/etc it’s probably fine

4. I haven’t clicked on any of the links you provided, but I assume they mention the *arr stack. Some other goodies that may not have been mentioned though are jellyseerr, which has a nice frontend to search and request movies and TV, and homarr, which is a dashboard you can setup to sync with your other hosted apps. I have a couple extra I could tell you if you want, but I think these are the most important for a basic “official feeling” setup

On howdy’s own page it says that a well printed photo or someone who looks like you would be enough to fool it. Idk how secure Windows Hello is, but howdy is designed for convenience over security

If anyone uses jellyfin you can also use jellyseerr, it’s just a fork of overseerr designed to work with jellyfin

This sub has a megathread that has a list of trusted sites for general use and specific categories. It also has sites for direct download if you prefer it

Any Debian/Ubuntu or fedora based distro will do you fine. I personally ran PopOS when I built my computer earlier this year and didn’t have any issues with it

At this point we don’t even need native ports. Developers can just make a windows version and we can play it with proton

I would also recommend it, and I even tried it when i started, but i just couldn’t get it to work. Probably permission issues

For a while I split tunneled tailscale through an openvpn .conf file, but recently switched to using qbittorrent in docker with gluetun. Qbittorrent is realistically the only service that needs to be behind a vpn so it works out well

I’m sure any server oriented Linux distro will do fine. I use Debian.

I will note, I don’t know if you’re planning on having remote access (e.g. through tailscale or reverse proxy), but if you are, I found it quite a challenge to get proton to play nice with them

I know you said you want to use KDE, but Pop is actually working on their own DE, called Cosmic, to be released with the 24.04 version. It’s currently still in alpha, so it’s far from finished, but if you’re trialing other distros anyway I don’t think it would hurt to boot it up and explore it (at least for a few minutes)

Adding denuvo later wouldn’t do any good, if a game launches without it it’s going to get cracked instantly
