I went to thetvdb.com site yesterday and much to my surprise, they won’t let me in unless I subscribe or turn off my adblocker. Is there any workaround for this?
He made a guess based on the evidence he had. It may or may not be “true” or factual. Either way, he wasn’t lying, and the person you responded to didn’t say anything about him lying.
The entire company (literally almost all the employees) threatened to quit and take jobs at Microsoft if he wasn’t reinstated and the board removed. And that’s exactly what has happened.
I don’t really have an opinion on this Sam guy or why his employees want to drink his bathwater, but it’s an interesting example of the employees of a company unifying behind somebody.
They considered it, consulted a lawyer, and then stopped considering it, because what the board did was stupid (INCREDIBLY stupid) but it wasn’t illegal.

Behold! I have the answer, at least if you’re willing to use Qbittorrent and the PIA app: www.reddit.com/r/…/jr2mptg/
This is an AutoHotKey script that runs at boot. It basically babysits the Qbittorrent port for you, making sure it matches your randomly assigned PIA forwarded port. I’m guessing this is also possible using a different VPN or torrent client, but you’d have to find your own script for that. Also, make sure to bind Qbittorrent to your VPN interface: reddit.com/…/guide_bind_vpn_network_interface_to_…
P.S. I should point out that port forwarding on your VPN isn’t TOTALLY necessary…but if you don’t forward ports, your download speeds will be slower and you’ll barely be able to seed at all (this is known as a “dick move” and it will get you banned from private trackers).
P.P.S. I should ALSO point out that your forwarded port does not change very often if you keep your VPN connected! So you don’t actually NEED this little script, you could just check the port once a week and make sure that Qbittorrent matches it. For example, I’ve been on the same port in PIA for at least a month now, and I’ve definitely rebooted my PC a couple times for updates. So it seems that the PIA app often just reconnects to the same server and uses the same port, but YMMV.
Torrents still work, they’ll just be a little slower and you won’t be able to seed much at all. If you’re using public trackers it works fine. But if you want to use a private tracker that forces you to maintain a ratio, you’ll run into problems.
You might not care much about Jezebel, but their parent company, G/O Media, also owns Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, Deadspin, The Root, The A.V. Club, The Takeout, The Onion, The Inventory, and Quartz.
So if you like any of those (Lemmy fucking loves The Onion, right?) then this news should concern you a bit.
Also, RIP Jezebel. Sometimes they were edgy and weird for no reason but they also did some solid reporting over the years.
I didn’t say they’re not allowed to comment. It was a shitty and useless comment, and I’m allowed to point that out, as well as pointing out the irony of taking the time to comment that you don’t care. Thanks bud.
I didn’t find anything wrong with your opinion, and I never said you weren’t entitled to anything. I’m just pointing out the dumb irony of taking the time to comment on something that you supposedly DON’T care about, in order to tell the world how LITTLE you care. If you really didn’t care, you would have kept scrolling.
Not to start a war, but I think the place here is better for free discussion of games piracy. the lemmy community they site on their subreddit is literally dead, has just one or two posts.

Yeah pirating games is way sketchier than pirating movies. I used to do it when I was a kid, but nowadays I know enough to avoid random .exe’s. That’s basically just volunteering to be a part of a botnet.
Also, most of the games I’m personally interested in are online multiplayer titles. Playing pirated games online can be very difficult or basically impossible, depending on the game.
Game piracy certainly isn’t dead, but there are valid reasons that it’s less popular.
They’re bigger AND heavier. Small vehicle manufacturers still use lithium ion batteries because it lets them cram more range into a limited battery space, without being too heavy. And the fact that a lithium ion battery goes bad in a few years is just icing on the cake. Many people will just buy a new scooter rather than replacing the battery, so the manufacturer makes more money.

Yes, you have to find your own trackers, that’s always been the case. And Lidarr does help with renaming and organizing files, yes. I’d argue that this person is making things harder by searching for FLAC files specifically, which is unnecessary. Most people don’t care about lossless, so it’s harder to find. Makes perfect sense to me.
Also, check out Soulseek. It’s a proprietary app that doesn’t use torrents, but it’s P2P and it’s very popular.

For the record, a Plex pass isn’t required to watch remotely…but if you like Plex, sticking with Plex is fine. Jellyfin is cool and open source, but it doesn’t have any killer features that Plex is missing. They both do basically the same thing, it’s the minor details that are different.
