They’re not services per se, but are a stack of software that you can kinda “clump” together for the lack of a better word.

For instance I started using qbittorrent client recently instead of Transmission that I was using before as my torrent client because I can’t find a way for Transmission to not download malware, and you can also do the very same with the indexer clients such as Jackett or Prowlarr which then talk to other software such as Radarr/Sonarr via API keys and is usually where most get caught out.

Read the docs, get thoroughly confused, and probably do it in docker too as everyone says if your hardware is sufficient.

Aye, I have them all from that previous discussion about it but noticed it wasn’t working because noobie here didn’t think of line separators.

I wonder if there’s a way of making qbit notifying users they need to be that way 🤔

Separated by a newline

You brilliant person got it in one! Love you 😘

Now I haven’t tested which of the line separated ones blocked it, but the wildcard *.lnk didn’t work when they were comma separated but do when line separated.

Again, 👌

Ya know this is a really good point and whether the network switch is managed, or unmanaged.

I’ve never delved into the black magic of playing with a managed switch before but your comment makes me eager to have a play with one now.

The French are very defendant when it comes to VLC or other open sauce apps. I’d usually bring the Willy joke out but I’m with them on this one.

As opposed to, TP-Link, Cisco(Linksys) and other off the shelf routers it seems some will only go for brands with their own proprietary firmware?

I grabbed that Xiaomi router on the premise it has OpenWRT, but I’d like to see Ubi / Unifi routers put under the same scrutiny instead of just lumping a brand name as a no-go.

What’s your recommendation?

I’ve had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.

The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don’t 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.

No you don’t.

I can go to the corner shop/local garage right now, buy a SIM card for 99p and then buy a top-up voucher in cash to have a completely anonymous phone number.

Albeit is the UK in Europe again? 🙈

edit: where I would be worried if my privacy was on the line is I could also go to the local pawn shop / Cash Converters to ensure that SIM card isn’t associated with an IMEI I’ve previously used and buy in cash a cheapo phone.
