Unfortunately Cloudflare does not do .ca domains. I imagine this is because there are restrictions on who can own one, so it's probably not worth the trouble for them.

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

I checked out the main feed, OP. Not sure this is going anywhere based on the content I saw. I have no opinion on the site as a technical work.

Check out veracrypt. It's free and easy to use.

Don't buy into any site requiring money. There are plenty of good private trackers run by community members. Once you join and get your feet, feel free to donate if they are doing a good job.

What about codeberg? It is free and forgejo is easy to use.

Like others, I had an account before this was implemented. I have a couple projects on there, also mirrored to self hosted gitea. Have had people refuse/unable to contribute to the gitlab project due to the kyc requirement, so I'm thinking I will migrate to codeberg soon.

You generally want to use a model which has been fine tuned to work around the inbuilt censorship. There are plenty available on huggingface currently. It's not a perfect solution, but works well enough for what it is.

I would suggest using the llama.cpp backend with a frontend of your choosing.

Whatever it was, it redirects to a generic for sale domain page now. Long dead.

Just to let you know, Hexchat is no longer maintained, unless someone has forked it. Might be worth looking into alternatives.

What about veracrypt?

It's very easy to use and cross-platform. You can create a volume of arbitrary size, either as a file or using a device/partition, then mount it when you need it.

I always thought it was the way it is so that you can still browse it through a text-based browser. If that's true, is there still room for improving it's ease of use?

I would suggest Nim, I had a blast learning it and making a small project. It is not a mainstream language, nor is it a joke language.

Not sure it's exactly the same or what you want, but chocolateyGUI is decent: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/chocolatey-gui/

That's a good article. From my observation, there are a few things:

  • Necessity. I'm active in communities with people who don't use the terminal until it's an absolute necessity. Like people running unraid, docker, or whatever containerized server. Eventually they need to type commands.
  • The prettiness. Yeah, I run oh-my-zsh. It's nice having a setup pretty environment. Some people's only experience might be opening up the powershell default display to run one command... And that is a bad experience.
  • Niche commands/programs. Take ffmpeg as an example. It's probably the most powerful media tool that exists, but has no official gui. And it's expansive enough that no GUI really covers what it can do. There are a bunch of other things like this.

Edit: And yeah, git. I've never used a graphical client. Seen a handful in use and don't like it.

There are pretty okay trackers asking for no proofs on open signups. It's mostly a matter of patience. You can even just sign up for everything and see what's a good fit, but be sure to use unique passwords on everything to be safe.

If FNP or LST open up again I would suggest signing up, they are shaping up to be good entry level trackers. Also TL usually opens a couple times a year. It's a massive site but kind of a mess when it comes to curation. Don't use iPT unless you have no other option.

People will tell you to join book/music trackers to rank up, but unless you like grinding I'm not sure this is the best route.

I think an open-source general device benchmark would be cool. Including CPU / GPU / Battery life metrics. As far as I know, everything that does this is proprietary.

Another +1 for gitea. It works quite well and is easy to setup.

cs.rin.ru

Make an account and seek the relevant thread.

I think this is what you're looking for?

  1. Yes, I'd say they're absolutely worth it. The main draw is you can get pretty much anything (unless you have very strange tastes) quickly, and be sure of the quality. Maintaining a ratio isn't hard on most trackers with a credits/bonus system, so it's usually not a worry if your upload is kinda slow. And you don't really need to interview for movie/tv trackers. Probably joining a couple entry-level ones would be fit your needs.

  2. Most private trackers are very safe when it comes to malware, publics can be hit or miss. There is always a risk with binary content, which is why some people only grab scene releases for games and check the hashes. In either case, if you're just grabbing videos you should be fine.

I've noticed some scene game/software releases have blake3 hashes now. That doesn't account for everything else, but I'd say it's a good step.

I would start with the official documentation/guides. https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/#what-is-handlebars

It's not overly complicated to learn if you already know some Javascript / HTML / CSS. If you don't, then maybe look up some tutorials on FreeCodeCamp.

I mean, probably not? If no one in your country has ever been charged or extradited over it then it's unlikely you will.

Yeah this is honestly how I find/download most stuff. Almost all trackers on I'm on have jackett support, and then I can choose the exact release I want.

It's done usually because of compatability. You can take a base layer HDR/HDR10 video, then extract the DV rpu, sync it, and inject it into the HDR stream. To answer your question, it is using both the HDR base layer with DV dynamic metada.

For webs, it's usually P5, and the conversion is apparently good enough that it doesn't make a difference for most people. For P7, you are going to lose the enhancement layer when encoding, but that's the price you pay for saving space.

There are instances, especially with discs, when the film is indeed graded differently, but the good encoders/remuxers pay attention to this.

That's a good point, but I don't figure this theoretical application would be big enough for any manufacturer to care about. I just wanted something for the people :⁠-⁠)

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.

Setup an rsync systemd job & timer on your plex server. I think that's be the most efficient method. Can also use a cron job if you're more comfortable with that. Either way, the rsync would be a one liner unless you have to map different source and destination directiories.

Be a member of lat-teamor any other PT that carries new releases

I can vouch for PyQt, it works quite well for what it is. Be aware you might have to dig into the C++ docs if you're trying to do something non-trivial.

If you like, you can use Qt Creator to build the GUI template, and then basically import into Python and build all the logic.

I mean yeah, Hexchat does work pretty well and is kind of finished. But it's possible there are existing security vulnerabilities or new ones to be discovered in the future.

By definition, a remux doesn't encode the video or audio, so makemkv generally does it's thing correctly. If you want to make a remux, it's eac3to and/or makemkv to collect it all together.

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.

Something like: One Piece S01 1080p CR WEB-DL AAc 2.0 H264-KAN3D2M

No, do not torrent over tor, that network is not suited for it.

You can definitely join one that doesn't mind you signing up through a VPN. There are a handful that are picky, of course. I'm mostly fine with those that do have my real IP logged. The reality is that they can't prove it was me because someone from my IP happened to sign up to some site months or even years ago.

Tracking down all of these would be quite an undertaking. If you can find someone on PTP, KG, and CG that would probably speed. Some stuff might exist on DDL somewhere as well.

A VPN can offer some security for either. Any way, yiu depend on the provider to forward your traffic and not reveal who you are.
