I don’t agree with “more privacy”. Data is federated, so anybody can easily scrape and gather data.

Even upvotes/downvotes are public (even if your client doesn’t display them, you can get the list of users that voted your post/comment through the API).

You can be anonymous, create multiple accounts on different instances, you can use a client with not trackers, etc. but I wouldn’t say there’s more privacy.

And let’s be clear, we’re talking about the European OG Georgia, not the US state.

Where are you moving to when your plan finishes? I’m in your same situation.

Proton stores senders and subjects in clear text. Only the content of the email is encrypted.

That means that the Swiss government can easily force them to handle out that data.

I agree with your solution but please note that if you go down that road, you’ll need to renew your domain from now to forever.

A good and super cheap hosting provider for emails is PurelyMail, albeit it’s based in the US

+1 for Proton as a security theatre.

Proton is not safe, the Swiss government can (and did, in fact) ask Proton for users’ IP addresses and metadata.

Plus, Proton forces you to use their client instead of standard IMAP.

Honest question, why would you need a VPN if you want to download from private trackers?

Usually, copyright owners target people on public trackers and on the DHT. Not a problem if you only get into private trackers.

Why would you need a VPN? Is it for pirating content?

Yeah I agree, Jellyfin is too picky with his naming conventions.

It’s because they don’t want to break compatibility with existing software. Which I understand, because if they broke old software then people could just migrate to Linux as well

We need to protect Linus at all costs.

100% agree, we live in a 1984 age.

Also, using stupid words such as unalive doesn’t make any sense because the algorithm of social media companies knows exactly what it means.

I mean, if you can display it on your screen, there must be a way to also save it.

How did you ask the seeder?

I also love Jellyfin, but it needs more contributors.

Too many features need improvement, for example the watch party, or the native apps.

…yet ;)

You can run Jellyfin side by side and slowly migrate everyone, starting from the most intelligent users (so you can catch anything that might be wrongly configured, etc.).

In the meantime, I hope that so many users are switching that we’re going to get better native apps.

Not at all. There’s a lot of high quality content, with a nice categorization and since people need to pay attention to their seeding ratio and time you often get seeds right away.

The advantage of private trackers is that:

• torrents almost always have seeds
• you can ask for re-seeds in case they aren’t
• torrents have a good quality
• you’re less likely to receive a complaint letter from copyright holders
