They did the same last year, FYI.
Not to downplay it, though. If anything, just means don't drop your guard ever, especially during Pride.

With Sonarr/Radarr and Jellyfin, that convenience has effectively been trumped. I don't know how they can compete
Each instance owner is running these instances themselves, presumably out of the home, for free.
They could go after an instance owner, sure, but
There's no "but". They could fight a lawsuit, sure, but that's time consuming and expensive, and why bother? The piracy isn't coming from their instance, why should they have to fight a lawsuit for it? Piracy has its own instance, nothing has been defederated, they're just not hosting the content on their server to save themselves the hassle down the road. I can't imagine they'll be the only one.
There's nothing shady here, just kneejerk and protectionist.
Beehaw defederated because they they decided they didn't want to actually moderate their communities. Easier to just screen everyone before letting them join, to weed out people they may potentially disagree with. Ostensibly to filter out hate but only a fool thinks it stops there.
Just a small tip, doublecheck all your user and group permissions after following that guide. I went through this before and the guide gave a bad instruction on the permissions for a folder that I ended up spending hours diagnosing. I still see at least one space where it tells you sonarr should be in the "sonarr" group and not the "media" group as previously instructed.
The guy they have that wrote these guides and answers all support questions for Sonarr and Radarr, he's an absolute asshole, bad at giving instructions, and often unhelpful. I'd say don't even bother with him.
Nah. It's a walled garden, you should know better than to trust those by now.
The audio quality pales in comparison. I have no idea if Dezer scrapping is still working but you can get flac from scrapping it. YouTube music is junk
That should be a simple setting in both radarr and sonarr. They can hardlink or copy. I'm not sure what the default is nowadays but it was copy when I installed it.
I'm not sure you even need to go that far. I'll have to look up exactly how I have it configured because it's been a bit, but sonarr and radarr are both configured to copy from the torrent folder into a separate media directory where they and Jellyfin, as part of the "media" group, have (almost) full permissions to manage the files as they like. Then I go in and occasionally prune the torrents folder once every few weeks if storage becomes an issue.
Just because that's the post we see doesn't mean there isn't more to this.
Realistically, I can see other instances doing this eventually as well.
Wow that's old.
Frankly, as shitty is a lot of that stuff was, DVDs were like the last form of media distribution that I would actually call tolerable in terms of consumer friendliness. You still got a physical disk with the actual movie that was easy to rip and share, no internet required. If it weren't for the quality limitations, I'd still collect them as the primary physical backup to my media server.
