There exists multiple types of people who upload pirated stuff. One of these types is the person who, instead of getting a day job, makes a living on selling content that they don’t own. I don’t know what to call that person other than a criminal. And it’s not too far fetched to assume that some people in that scene resort to pretty nasty techniques to obtain content, and that can be way more problematic than sharing torrents.
I love piracy as much as anyone, but I got to be honest, I am a bit irked by how much of a hardon you have for the amazing people who develop these beautiful tools in their free time driven by nothing else just an outbursting of love from their hearths. In reality, while I am sure there are innocent enthusiasts, many of the people who run private trackers, usenet servers, and I’m assuming are developing client architecture, are basically criminals who make a living off stealing protected IP and selling it to people who prefer a subscription for a tracker or server over a streaming service or over purchasing audiobooks, games, or porn directly from publishers. The arr stack is the infrastructure for hosting industrial scale streaming services using pirated content. So that’s part of the reason why the free piracy software is good. There is a very real paying market for it.
Edit: I’m putting a link here so I don’t sound like bullshitting. This is the type of illegal streaming I am talking about, which basically operates as an international organized crime group, with ties to other illicit activities independently of pirating. While I don’t know anything about their tech stack, they need a massive automated system to obtain the media they pass on to their subscribers. It’s not the need to organize the movie library of a middle age dad which justifies configuring a massive stack of services.
I just set up I hate money a couple weeks ago. Works fine. Not a perfect drop in for splitwise, but works for us. You log in by entering the project name and password (not separate user accounts), then select who paid and for whom.
Maybe there is a FOSS self hosted solution for mixing good old tv ads into the mix!
I use self hosted baserow free tier at work and no issues in 3 years. Why does it not work for you? My only complaint is the API can’t use the views that exist on the web interface.
Cool, thanks! What do you use for RSS?
I don’t know the answer, just commenting because I’m curious. Can you just create a second tailnet and add your server but not your own devices to it?
Is there a self hosted or free tier? I’m tired of trying new project management tools that all do the same and have a per seat subscription. It must be crazy cheap to run the backend so I don’t understand why are these tools expensive.
Well, even if you don’t partake, there are trackers with subscriptions and they have subscribers.
