I hope I live long enough to see this meme be used correctly again

Apparently you set up a Linux server, with lots of storage.

Then you apparently buy a VPN account with a reputable, no-log VPN provider with exits in Switzerland and Spain, apparently the two most torrent friendly countries in the world.

Then you apparently install a docker container called Gluetun, which apparently connects to your VPN provider and provides network services to other containers.

Then you apparently install radarr and sonarr and pipe their network through a torrent container that goes through the gluetun container and apparently also the overseerr container so it’s really easy to request content.

Then you apparently install Plex or Jellyfin or your server and their client on your devices.

Then, apparently, you request content through your overseerr container and apparently then all you have to do is request and badaboom badabing it shows up on your clients 5 minutes later.

Or so I’ve heard.

VPN

Adblock, no-script, and just being as careful as possible.

Also, there's this fun little Firefox extension called TMDB player, which plugs into a few illicit streaming sites, but pairs with the very real TMDB website.

You actually have to be slightly more careful with such, at least as far as viruses.

Torrents usually need a vpn these days.

Sharing this here so you can avoid such evil things. Under no condition should you use a VPN. https://mullvad.net/

Since no one else said it: knowing local laws. Vpn always requires you to trust someone else again. I'd rather go ahead and make myself a proxy or something elsewhere then.

Technical knowledge too. But say you know downloading from filehosters can not result in you getting into trouble, voila, do that.

Good browser, adblock, habits and more things add to a best practice.

Don't use TPB. Not (necessarily) directed at you but there are much, much better public trackers than TPB.

Isn't real debrid just a paid for leeching service? Shameless taking from the commons without giving back and charging for the privilege?

Ah yes, why spend 15 minutes to familiarise yourself with the Arr stack when you can pay someone to do it for you?

I don't think I can get higher speeds that what I get in my private tracker. It's basically only capped by my home Internet speed. And I like the uploading and the sense of community and sharing with eachother. It's virtually not an issue to keep the ratio high enough. The rest is like the are services, they work the same.

How would one go about using Usenet for pirating? This is the first time I've heard about it being used like that and not in old web forums
