You are right, no port forwarding is not great. I would recommend Proton then.

Seeds are users that have 100% of a torrent. More Seeds usually means more speed. Leechers are users that don't have 100% of a torrent yet.

You can grab torrents either with a file (.torrent) or a magnet link. The latter is just a link that tells the client how to get the torrent.

A tracker is a server that manages the torrent. You don't really have to deal with that.

  • Always use a VPN. edit: Proton still supports port forwarding.
  • Make sure to map the network adapter of qBittorrent (or whatever client you use) to the VPN device so you don't leak your IP when you have a disconnect.
  • Set up something like Sonarr (Shows), Radarr (Movies), Jellyfin (or Plex) to streamline everything.
  • You can also include Prowlarr in the setup to automatically sync indexers to Sonarr and Radarr. Thats also where you find other indexers like 1337.to and whatnot.
  • If you want more convenience and speed, get a Seedbox like ultra.cc
  • Seed, seed, seed!

Horrendous Linux support and a fascist CEO. I regret paying for 2 years and can't wait to switch to Mullvad.

Too much Proton for my taste.

Music related YouTube channels to understand and appriciate music more (feddit.online)
submitted 3 weeks ago by bigchunga@feddit.online to c/music@lemmy.world

I'm trying to learn to listen more consciously to albums and not just individual songs that get recommended by the Spotify algorithm. Unfortunately, I'm at a point where I struggle with appreciating good music as I'm mainly used to just use it as background noise.

Can anyone recommend good channels that dive deeper into songs and talk about the individual instruments? I'm also interested in artist showcases that explain what it took to create the song, their inspiration and reasoning behind it.

I think I just want to be able to appreciate music more and be able to understand whats going on.

My favorite genres are Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, and Rock and Roll type of things.

I've been watching a bunch of

and found it really interesting.

Any input is greatly appreciated :)

Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency by bigchunga in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] bigchunga@feddit.online 8 points 3 weeks ago

In the past Proton stated that they only act on claims from legitimate law enforcement with a court order. Now they acted on some organizations request. If Protons own mechanisms for detecting malicious use trigger, yeah, they should suspend the account and investigate further, but not from a third party that has zero authority.

Still shows that Proton suspended the accounts because some CERTS told them to. That's not a court order.

Can you elaborate on this? What's going on?

Yeah, that's my biggest gripe too. It's awesome for outdoor stuff like hikes and bike rides. But actually just typing in an address/POI like in Google Maps and it finds it? Somehow it doesn't work. At least with OsmAnd and OrganicMaps.

Calibre-Web and Koreader on Kobo (feddit.online)
submitted 1 month ago by bigchunga@feddit.online to c/ereader_community@lemmy.ml

Calibre-Web can wirelessly sync with Kobo readers by changing the API-endpoint. I'm wondering if that still works while using Koreader?

I'm trying to get a workflow running with Calibre-Web -> Kobo -> Highlights to Readwise -> Readwise to Obsidian.
Stock Kobo doesn't sync wirelessly to Readwise and if I understand correctly, Koreader offers that.

Android Widget with Obsidian Sync (feddit.online)
submitted 1 month ago by bigchunga@feddit.online to c/obsidianmd@lemmy.world

I understand that technically any widget that can manipulate .md files works and I have found some that do exactly that.
My problem is that as I use the official Obsidian Sync, I can't find my vault folder on Android and thus those tools don't work.

Does anyone know of a widget tool that works with Sync or how to point an existing tool to the Sync folder?

I have a seedbox and would totally be up to seed Wikipedia. Is there an easy way to automate that always the newest release gets seeded? I don't want to do it manually every day.

Disable max-height for feed images (feddit.online)
submitted 1 month ago by bigchunga@feddit.online to c/piefed_help@piefed.social

Hi!

I have set 'Compact UI' in the settings to 'No - expand images' but in my home feed they are still cut off. Looking at the code I can see the following:

.post_teaser_image_preview a {  
    max-height: 575px;  
    overflow: hidden;  
}

and disabling max-height solves my issue (seeing the whole image in the feed without clicking it).

How do I specify this in the custom CSS section in the settings so that the max-height is always disabled?
I tried

:disable {  
    .post_teaser_image_preview a {  
        max-height: 575px;  
    }  
}

but it doesn't work.
