From what I can tell the server issues has been fixed. They are always making improvements.

For the what I was trying to use it for it ended up not working for me. I was trying to build up a Plex server. But they didn’t want to have a large cache so started removing anything that wasn’t used in a few days. And didn’t reset the “timer” when you use it over WebDAV/rclone.

I decided to just use real debrid because their cache is HUGE. But sadly they dont seed or have Usenet.

I had already paid for a year of torbox so I still use it regularly for one off downloads not related to my Plex. I will probably still renew my subscription to keep using it for this. Though probably drop to a cheaper tier. I really like that it seeds the torrents and has Usenet.

I hope one day I can fully replace RD with it, but I dont expect it anytime soon. The programs I use for my Plex setup where all adding tor box support when I made my original comment, but mostly dropped it when torbox changed their cache policy.

Just buy the lifetime Plex pass before the price goes up then.

If you have Plex pass you dont have to worry about it. Others can still remote play from your server free. Actually more so because the mobile app is free for them too now.

You convinced me I need to appreciate tailscale somehow even more than I do.

services.tailscale.enable = true;

I’ve had no issues with it so far. Its been my go to for awhile. But I don’t use windows for anything important. Malware bytes scans don’t find anything.

From what I understand running high bandwidth things like video streaming through cloudflare tunnels will get your cloudflare account banned or charged (which is why they require payment info to setup tunnels).

Best to keep things like emby, jellyfin, and Plex to tailscale or just open the port.

Idk how emby works but with Plex I feel pretty safe having port open. Since any logins have to auth though Plex’s servers.

You could use Torbox.app. Its like debrid, but also seeds so you can use it for private trackers.

I think signal servers may be using aws hosting.

I was trying out Locus and seem pretty good. But looks like its not maintained anymore. ☹️

Well Plex has the live TV stuff you just need a tuner. So there are programs that act as tuners for IPTV. Like a middle man between IPTV and Plex. I’m still switching around trying to find one that works best. They all seem to have pros and cons. There is Xteve and Telly. Xteve is easier to setup but hasn’t been updated in a long time. There is a newer fork of xteve called Threadfin but it has a bug which keeps me from being able to add a m3u link. But I found a fork of the fork where the bug is fixed.

I finally gave up on the free streams and got IPTV. Got it streaming though Plex/jellyfin and I’m really impressed. You can stream the IPTV through stremio too for a easier setup.

It still works if you have a paid account. It use to work with free accounts.

Also I mean the FLAC. I think you might can still DL non flac with a free account.

Perfect. Thank you.

What sources are you using for lidarr? Are they private trackers?

I only download flac. But still haven’t found a source I really like since the deezer api was patched.

Check out torbox. Its like a seedbox/debrid but the pro plan also comes with Usenet. I just started using it but seems really promising.

They have been having a lot off issues lately because they don’t have enough servers yet. They are supposed to get new servers setup this week.

Depending on where you live. It could be a issue that without db you’re just straight up torrenting and may need a VPN to keep from getting copyright notices. Also it will probably buffer a lot without having the db cache.

Unless it was a recent change factorio doesn’t “require” a account. When I host my server I disable verification and my friends who still haven’t bought it are able to join no problems. If server has verification on then they can’t.

That just happened about a week ago for me. For the second time since I starting using them. Just randomly upped my storage and upload limit. I plan to keep my box with them for the foreseeable future. I don’t ever want to have to mess with VPN port forwarding. I have a home server I move my files to when I need more space on my box. But I don’t use the home server for torrents.

Only one I ever tried is whatbox.ca . Been using them for 7+ years. They are great.
