I think the error is quite verbose and tells you everything you need to know.

Generally, do not install packages outside of a virtual environment unless you know what you’re doing. Given the option, use your package manager version of the same package. Outside of that, use your python environment manager of choice to install stuff. There are lots of options: conda, uv, venv, virtualenv, pipenv, etc.

The error exists to warn you that you could potentially break critical system installed packages by installing other things at a user or system level with pip.

You might consider trying Miniconda, a version of Anaconda. It installs a local python environment of your choosing at a user level. https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/

I think it’ll happen at some point, nearly always does. I have one locked on an exploitable version and it works great, I think there’s a lot of potential for emulation and homebrew if it opens up more.

OPS, rutracker, or I ask someone to check RED for me.

Aside from what has been posted already, the vast majority of good P2P groups only release on private trackers, some with notices to not repost publicly. There is a massive collection of quality content that is either not available on publics or completely dead and forgotten.

seedhost.eu No bs/advertising with competitive price & performance.

A properly muxed mkv will display the resulting audio bitrate. And if you use opusenc, it will embed the encoder settings in the track.

There are a handful of groups putting out what I would consider decent AV1 encodes. A couple PTs allow them, and there are groups on 1337x. Just grab a couple from each tag you can find and see if they meet your needs. Generally speaking, look for groups which note their source, which encoder they are using, and ideally what settings they used in general.

AV1 has come a long way fast, but in my experience a good x265 encode is still better for live action.

Maybe https://www.srrdb.com/ is what you’re looking for?

I would get a Thinkpad, either used or new, with that budget. Generally all the hardware will work out of the box, with the possible exception of the fingerprint reader if it exists. RAM and SSD should be replaceable, so if you purchase new just do the upgrade yourself to save some bucks.

Private trackers would be your best bet if you don’t know anyone already.

The very brief summary: You need 7 perms on directories to write to them. So, 774, 770, or what have you for user/group perms.

I imagine that is due to plex cramming in their own streaming option. So the free stuff you see on the default home page (last time I used it). There is a setting in firefox to disable drm playback, but it looks to be a browser-wide choice.

As the other commenter pointed out, that feature does not exist in the webui. Just use mktorrent, torrenttools, or any other utility which will do it.

I have Arch running on an old Acer chromebook, different model but similar hardware. If you’re alright with some manual configuration, then it’s a good option. it fits the lightweight requirement, but not sure about low maintenance.

You should write a post if you do. Would be funny!

I don’t see switch stuff in there. Did I miss it? Imagining it might have been removed to avoid the repo being destroyed.

Have you tried ticking the lock metadata button when you are editing it?

Last I checked you need to purchase an addon to have port forwarding with Windscribe.

These are good options in my experience that are P2P friendly and support port forwarding.

• AirVPN: Relatively slow but stable, good company
• OVPN: Some stability/app problems but fast
• AzireVPN: Lacking features but overall good and fast

Air is the cheapest out of the bunch, they might still have a sale going on now.

You can install the AniList and AniDB plugins and enable them on your library. From there, when you go to manually identify the series you can use one of the respective IDs to fetch metadata.
