Wait, so I have to pay for access and even then it’s still limited?
I mean, all subscriptions are limited in some way. That’s how a subscription works. You either get limited by time (monthly sub) or by usage (data cap). If it were a perpetual/lifetime access license, it wouldn’t be a subscription.
That’s why I said most people keep a monthly subscription for everyday usage, and then only use the secondary subscription when their primary is missing something. The usage doesn’t expire, so it’s not something you need to constantly maintain unless you’re actively using it. So they’re not constantly getting dinged for usage on that second provider, because the monthly doesn’t have a data cap.
The reason people like Usenet is because you don’t need to worry about seeders or dead torrents. You grab the file you want, and it caps out your gigabit download speed every time.
Gotcha. It’s possible your modem was trying to act as a router as well, which would cause a Double-NAT situation. Most ISPs will ship a modem/router combo, but the router part is always fucking dog water. And the issue with double-router setups is that if you try port forwarding on your router, the ISP’s router won’t automatically detect the open port, so you’ll still be blocked.
If you do end up looking into it again, see if the modem allows you to set up bridge mode or DMZ mode, and point it to your router. (You’ll need to undo any old port forwarding stuff you attempted last time first, or else it won’t work!) Basically, this takes all of the modem traffic and passes it directly to your router, instead of trying to do routing on the modem/router. Which is honestly what you want, because your personal router is almost certainly going to be better than the shitty one they ship. This will eliminate the Double-NAT situation, because the ISP’s router is going to be completely disabled and is passing all of the traffic directly to your router.
It’s also possible that CenturyLink runs CG-NAT, which would cause a Double-NAT situation on the ISP’s side. More and more ISPs are running CG-NAT to avoid transitioning to IPv6 as long as possible. Basically, there aren’t enough IPv4 addresses available anymore, so ISPs have started giving the same IPv4 address to multiple users using CG-NAT. Your public IP will be shared with multiple users via CG-NAT, the same way your router is sharing the internet connection with multiple devices via NAT. You can check your public IP address in your modem (or your router, if you set up DMZ earlier.) If you’re within the 100.64.x.x to 100.127.x.x range, CenturyLink probably has you on CG-NAT (since those are the public addresses reserved for CG-NAT.) But this breaks port forwarding, because you would also need to forward the port at the carrier level, (which you have no way of doing.)
If they do have you behind CG-NAT, your only real option is going to be a reverse proxy. Basically, Plex/Jellyfin would ping a remote server, which then proxies the request down to your server. It wouldn’t require any port forwarding on the server’s side, because the proxy will be using https directly. Nginx is a popular free reverse proxy service.
The biggest thing is automation. If you have a Plex or Jellyfin instance, you can get the *arr suite to automatically grab downloads and add them to the server with metadata ready to go. But that’s not currently possible with Tribler.
This is the real tea tbh. We all know what his main account is doing. Show us the alts he uses when he doesn’t feel comfortable being fashy on main.
My brother in Christ please get Handbrake. Your storage space will go much farther if you’re at least re-encoding after the fact.
The best home-lab way to do it is to have a standalone computer to act as a media server, then a NAS to actually store the content. Just grab a pre-built computer with an intel chip that supports QuickSync. The HP EliteDesk is a popular choice, since they’re commonly used in corporate settings; There are always a ton of refurbished units available for super cheap, since corporations will upgrade their entire cubicle-maze and recycle their old computers.
Some people will try to run things directly on their NAS, but basically every affordable NAS on the market will end up being underpowered for most users.
As for actually connecting, what part were you having issues with?
The issue is that this only works when the torrent community is healthy. If everyone used Streamio, nobody would be able to actually use it. Because it doesn’t seed the content, it just leeches and deletes it automatically. So if everyone used Streamio, there would be no seeders, and your streams would never actually work.
Streamio is the “fuck you I got mine” of the torrenting world.
It requires a subscription, which scares off most of the casual “just looking to try it” users. It’s as simple as getting a Usenet subscription. Usenet providers are sort of like ISPs. Each provider will have an umbrella of servers that they sync with, so it’s worth researching which provider you want to go with. Most will have a wide variety of content, but they all follow different policies regarding things like DMCA takedowns. Many people like to get two different subs so they can have a primary and a backup provider.
Subs typically come in both monthly subs and usage subs. For instance, the monthly sub will be unlimited access for a month, while a usage sub will just be like 100GB of download bandwidth, and you don’t get charged again until you use that 100GB. If you’re doing a lot of downloading, you’ll probably want a monthly. So most people will have a monthly subscription for their primary, then a usage sub for their secondary. So they only actually use their secondary if something is missing from their primary, and they’re not constantly maintaining two monthly subscriptions.
Actually using Usenet will require a Usenet reader, which is a program that actually interfaces with the Usenet network. Sort of like how a torrent program is used to download torrents. Most readers will integrate with services like the *arr suite to automatically search for and download content. If that’s something you’d be interested in, look into the suite and see which readers work best.
That’s because it wasn’t originally meant to be a font; It was a stylized version of Walt Disney’s autograph, which they used as a logo. It later got bastardized into a font, because it became so iconic.
Imagine how fucking cursed it would probably look if someone turned your signature into a font.
The gold standard these days is the *arr suite with qBitTorrent and a VPN, and/or a usenet service. Unfortunately the *arr suite doesn’t integrate with Tribler, so you can’t easily automate your downloads.
Ragnarok is fine if you’re playing on the actual screen. But if you’re gonna hook it up to a monitor, be prepared to see edge jaggies or get lots of frame lag; The SD can’t keep a steady frame rate on anything above Low settings. Low is fine on the built in screen cuz it’s too small to really make a difference. But on a large TV, it makes a big difference.
Comment linked for example, and I’ll attach a screenshot below. Having an embedded link following an image seems to append the image’s instance to the start of the embedded link. The link is a 12ft.io link, but Voyager is automatically appending “lemmy.world” to the start of the link.
Could also potentially be an issue with 12ft.io links specifically, but I have seen it a few times with other links too.
Yes it is. It’s a monthly subscription. You pay every month. That’s a time limitation. If you pay for a month, you only get a month of usage, just like a Usenet monthly subscription.
But again, you only get the month you paid for. It’s a time limitation, just like a monthly usenet subscription.
Neither do monthly usenet subscriptions. I think you need to go re-read my original comment, because you seem to think that the monthly subs are limited. They’re not. The only limitation on monthly subs is time. Which is the exact same limitation as the other subscriptions you mentioned.
