Open signups happen frequently but you have to be quick to catch them

Opentrackers.org and r/opensignups (or r/trackersignups) are good to check once in a while

MyAnonaMouse has open applications twice a week and the test is very easy

Extremely interested in this as well, i might need to start learning android development now ;)

In the FAQ section of the linked rutracker page mentions AVX2 processor features which yours might not have and recommends to use an older release

Seems like CZ is open as well, ANT and PHD arent

Found a 720p version on torrentcore and 1080p on rutracker, idk if there are seeders

I use kenmei.co for manga tracking. Supports a bunch of sites but not all of them and depending on the site the updates can be quite delayed.

I really need to start downloading manga as well. I find it to be the most ephemeral type of content with all the takedowns, groups stopping scanlations or frequent site issues

Scroll to the bottom, there is a comment from 2 months ago with some kind of suggested fix

This might help some https://github.com/KasperSvendsenGit/Decrypt-Pluralsight-Videos/issues/5

Be careful with downloading random executables and only run them in a VM without network access

Archived github

nyaa.si has some officially translated Japanese light novels but for some the non-mtl fan translations are better than the official like for Overlord.

Some manhwa/manhua scanlators also translate Korean and Chinese light novels like reaperscans.com (site down), flamecomics.com (stopped novel tl)

Steal the sign instead

What’s the proportions of Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish content on there? I’ve been trying to get into some more private trackers apart from MAM and TL

This is very technical but if your ISP has unmetered Netflix or Spotify you could have a VPN on a server that spoofs the hostname (easier) or IP (harder) which only works for downloading and i imagine using >50GB of data to Spotify might make the ISP ask some questions. Netflix would be easier since 4k movies are a thing

Wayland does not work properly on Nvidia Hardware: It keeps on getting closer but is not there yet, or so I’ve heard. Apparently, the issue is with the proprietary drivers, as noveau works well. But I use AMD, so I’m only working off rumours and opinions here.

Posting this from Hyprland on NVIDIA, arch (btw) and the nvidia-open-dkms driver, but yes, NVIDIA isn’t fully there yet.

Look into Jellyfin and the *arr suite for automating downloads. If this seems too complicated for now, just get a cheap 1 TB external SSD, a VPN (check out mullvad), a torrent client (i suggest qBittorrent or Transmission), bind the torrent client to the VPN to prevent leaks and off you go!

The simpler method has some drawbacks, not all TV’s support all codecs and formats, you have to move the external drive from your computer to your TV for example. Getting Jellyfin setup will give you a more streaming service type of experience and if someone else than you might want to watch something, start with Jellyfin.

If the Jellyfin experience is horrible and you just really wanna watch a movie to relax on a saturday, maybe take a look at Plex.

If you already have the MiniPC just lying around then great, just use that! If you don’t have it, you can also host Jellyfin + the *arr suite on your PC (unsure about Windows compatibility) and start them when needed or have them run in the background when your computer starts.

Still seeding strong!

Maybe i should format my windows drive i haven’t touched in a year and throw 3 internet archive torrents on there.

If you use Firefox on Android you can use uBlock Origin and custom filter lists to hide sites from search results like the uBo dev filter does

Made the poll with a VPN, didn’t know this was an issue.

Should work now
