Is LTT the rule or exception tho for that premium vs ads metric? LTT viewers are more on the nerdy side so more likely to have adblocking software. Not saying the data is wrong or anything, I just wonder how it fares on more general topics like cooking, fashion, travel etc.

While I disagree. I hope like hell you’re right.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by “artificially locked in order to keep it rare”?

You were bang on about Soulseek. I’ve spent quite a bit of time on it now and love it. I’m in the works of deploying an instance on a server for 24/7 uploading. Thank you for the recommendation.

Edit: 24/7 server up and running. Pointed to my Jellyfin partition which has all my music, films, TV shows (and ebooks/manga since I set it up poorly back in the day)

From what I understand the (Japanese) band official wrote the band name with the Latin alphabet. The band had a slight international presence in France if I’m not mistaken with their 2nd last album getting a limited CD release, so maybe a pirate site catering more to the Japanese or French crowd might have yielded better results in hindsight.

Thank you! I run Docker on my homeservers so when I next tinker it’s going on. :)

Hope it brings you good memories. Sorry for your loss. RIP.

Alright so I already had a quick look, sooner than I intended. Got too excited.

At a glance tho I love what I see. There’s an official nicotine+ package in the Pacman repository for Arch Linux so that’s a plus. I forwarded the port with no issue, I got a decent network setup so I got fixed internal IPs and could forwarded the port securely as possible.

It also looks like it plays nicely with how I got my NAS setup and how I mount files internally to my PC. This could be a bit of a rabbit hole and a great learning experience for me. Thanks to everyone for the suggestion/tips.

I’ll love to self-host this down the line on my server so I can better provide everyone with my files even when my usual PC isn’t on.

Haha you definitely have a point. I love it how the man practically pretends the band never existed. Last i heard he’s wanted by Japanese law enforcement and has migrated to Malaysia. There will never be a reunion. :(

soulseek

I have heard of it, but admittingly know very little about it and its strengths. After a quick search there’s a package for my Linux distro so I’ll install it when I got some time to deep dive it and get an understanding.

Thank you tho I will have a good look later tonight. If there’s anything you think I should read/watch regarding Soulseek shoot it through. Nonetheless I’ll continue to seed regardless if I stick with Soulseek.

I don’t like running pirated binaries, so don’t pirate on the desktop directly. But I do run a server in my homelab which hosts Jellyfin/*arr’s that me and my partner stream from on our desktops, phones, TV etc.

My server is running headless Debian. I run what I can in a Docker container. My experience has been rock solid.

From what I understand Debian isn’t less secure due to the late updates. If anything it’s the opposite.
