Here are my answers as someone who exclusively uses Usenet. You'll want more than one provider on different backbones - that way if one is missing something, the other may have it. I've had good luck with thundernews. This is your subscription/primary provider. You'll also want a block provider. Unlike the subscription provider, block providers are literally what they say on the tin - buy a block of data to download and if it takes three months, fine. Two days? I'd revisit your choice for a primary provider, but whatever when the block is gone, it's gone. There are speed limits and multiple thread limits that determine how fast you can actually download things. Stuff is taken down, but it's rare. The lowest hanging fruit for content protection is torrents rather than big servers somewhere. I'm very meh on Usenet+VPN. Unlike torrents, you aren't sharing anything so your IP isn't advertised to those content protection folks leeching on a magnet/torrent dl. Secondly, as long as the providers use SSL, the actual content is encrypted from your ISP. Something that you didn't mention, but needs addressing - indexers. Yes, there are free indexers but they're often capped at a certain number of grabs per day. Expect to pay for access to these as well - but some have lifetime memberships at a reasonable price. Get more than one and sabnzbd can prioritize by user-assigned weight. (By the way,these are typically what gets hit by content protection/LE). Indexers provide the nzb files that tell you download client where in the providers' server to find the download bits/bytes. The *arr stack works wonderfully with Usenet, I think if you go this route, you'll be surprised how little you have to fall back to torrents.

Probably not that much. I ended up buying most of the games I pirated anyway. For me, it was because of sheer poverty. These days, I don't care enough about games to bother anymore. Or, I own the media already, and just want an easy-ready version that I can video edit without having to fuss over decoders and crap.

1.Bottles have some exclusive easy to use features like full backup of entire wine/proton prefix and then later u can restore on any machine with bottles without any reconfigurations also bottles have custom where u can manually choose what dependencies to install and not mess up prefix 2.Most of time I am using portproton it's installing most of depencies which games need but for example I had where program was need Microsoft .net implentstion ,wine mono was an not option because it wsd not working with this program and there was not normal way to uninstall wine mono and install MS .net ,so I switched for bottles for this program created custom prefix and installed everything what I needed. About lutris not used too much honestly I tired it maybe 4-5 years and it's never worked for me ,most scrips which working for licensed software not worked for pirated installer from my experience so I prefer control everything manually.

You absolute madlad!! Thank you for providing this. I am in the middle of migrating to a new home server and as part of that process, moving away from Plex to Jellyfin. This will be a big help in testing things out and figuring out the idea setups for my use case (like streaming to Apple TVs) ahead of the actual migration. Not to mention some great ideas for movies to snag I wasn't aware of Sending a couple of coffees your way!! It looks like we have a fairly similar library size and I've always wanted to be able to offer something like this to folks as a way for giving back for all the years of media I've been able to gather and enjoy - but I have never felt confident enough in my networking skills to let the vast majority of my services see anything outside of the LAN, let alone provide it to other people. I hope with this new lab environment I am going for I can get to that point, but if you have any pointers I am all ears! Thanks again, matey!

I’m aware. You may have missed that I made that distinction in my first sentence.

Oh, I was wondering what happened, damn. I couldn't find a good chunk on any other site, updated as much, such as Dragon Next Door. I guess ill never be able to see one updated as much again

Seasons4u and if they have googletv, Roku, or firestick you can just put an app on it for them. Not sure how much the baseball package is but it should have all games

Same. Lot of potential but it didn't pan out.

What happens if you run all the steps on host? The VM is nice to have but not essential. I've had users report getting it to work on arm MacBooks by skipping the VM step. I don't think GenP works on windows through parallels sadly. Let me know if you get it working. I'll update the Adobe Zii wiki accordingly.

There's casino streams on both youtube and twitch too. This grandstanding against kick makes no sense.

And even if you do boycott Sony, that'll discount entire market segments and almost entire content niches as I just mentioned.

That still makes it illegal in other countries

Didn't know about the new repository, thanks for the info.

I use Amazon Prime for shipping unfortunately, it's just far too convenient to not use it (doubly so now that I have a knee injury and find it hard to walk), so I just end up getting Prime Video for free

Materialize might help?

Yes except simpler because you don't have to build a library of content. The plug-ins do it for you. A Debrid service downloads torrents and uploads them to various file hosting websites, allowing you to directly download any active torrent at speeds up to 1Gbps. If the torrent you want isn't in their database (because it's less popular), then it behaves like a torrent client, except since it's running on a server you can shut down your PC and go about your day as it downloads in the background. Most torrents with at least a half dozen seeds are usually immediately available for direct download. It doesn't really protect your privacy, per se, but it gets your ISP off your back because in most jurisdictions they don't care how much you download illegally, so long as you're not distributing the files, like you would with a torrent client. (Sharing pirated files is how they get you.) The bad news is that these services also hit and run, so by using one you're not helping the health of the torrent. I wish they didn't do that, but I'm so used to having any file I want delivered quickly that I'm willing to sell part of my soul to have the convenience.

Mostly because they don't make much currency from their shit and they don't respect or care for the cloak that takes all it can and then some.* They may STFU about it for the little pennies they're pissed on with but cite just one such loudly whining about any of the subject in hand. If you manage to dig something up then be sure I can easily can that to a circumstance that was obvious but flew over your imgination of a brain. *Like subject in hand.

Doesn''t*
