If you really want to fight back check out the federated alternative FunkWhale

I guess I’d ask where the jellyfin shares are at?

I run my own and I’d love to share it with more people

You can use any DE you want on just about any distro you want

Isnt that basically what a number of kodi and stremio addons do?

However, I don’t get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it’s faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.

I make use of deezeloader, deemix and/or streamrip, which is what I use because unlock Spotify deezet, qobuz and tidal (supported by streamrjp) have true lossless flac audio available.

Lidar can be extended to work with them instead of torrents.

How do you mean they are spamming?

Mint is a good alterative. It has an xfce edition.

Using a live usb is the correct answer since compiling a custom initramfs would require one anyway and just add more steps… Not sure what gives you the impression using a liveusb is “more complicated” but its not.

Well now I just want to do it more.

Mail carriers are not idiots, they just discard the thing as trash since its obviously not an envelope… Business reply mail will only ever be paper letters, so what you actually want to do is just send whatever it is back to them with useless information or if its an actual envelope you can stuff it with glitter or shred the paper inside, its still technically “improper use” but they won’t know that until its at the destination.

Can you upgrade the desktop? What speed is your laptops WiFi?

I just use rsync manually until I have syncthig working but these don’t really solve slowdown issues and aren’t mounted. I would look into a better NIC and/or storage for the desktop or possibly your router.

Try using something like iperf to measure raw speed of the connection between your 2 systems, see if its what it should be (around 300-600mbps for wireless to wired locally) and try to narrow down where the bottleneck is.

Does your device have a headphone jack?

Glad you found what you need. Ive never needed any browser plugins to use JDL2, it just works with copy and past and monitors your clipboard,

You can get torrents full of the archives from sites that used to host tabs for GuitarPro and pirate that software, the one downside is , its like tens of thousands of tabs so its a bit much to organize.

Songsterr seems usable to me with adblocking on, Also I often just search YouTube and find videos with tabs displayed.

Jdownloader2 is the the best, I’ve not used anything else for years.

Yt-dlp, just go to the page with your song or playlist and past that into yt-dlp on PC.

Use https://dockstarter.com

I would also suggest prowlarr instead of jackett.

If that’s too hard then I think you should consider renting a seedbox that has easy one click install options for all the ARRs.

You mostly just have to use your judgment. Sites that steal names probably are just trying to cash in on ads, its not really that they are outright malicious though (not always anyway), and if youre acessing them by using prowlarr as opposed to going to the site in a dedicated tab then you probably have nothing to worry about.

All these clone sites are just using the same feeds and magnet links for sources, they have no original content so if you ad too many your results get cluttered but torrents on them shouldn’t be any less safe than tpb or 1337x

Private trackers are always the way to go if you care about quality.

If you haven’t already tried it I would also highly recommend phind.com for troubleshooting or coding questions.

Also for a nice quick access to gpt from your terminal grab “tgpt” and you can ask questions directly from your terminal.

Jellyfin + the ARRs works great.

The term you want to use is “private tracker”
