I currently use a Pi 4 as a torrent box. The hard drives used to be hooked up to it using a powered USB3 hard drive bay but now they sit in a separate NAS, so the pi is just for running the torrent software.
The only important thing I have to note is I had to limit the total number of connections in the qbittorrent settings (to I think 75?) or else the system would run out of memory while seeding public torrents that were new and in demand. Works great tho
Fitting that someone from an instance on a random subdomain commented on this lol
I did it for a while and it was a fun little technical project but once the pictrs image cache exhausted the amount of storage I got in the cloud host service’s free tier, I stopped because I didn’t feel like spending money on it
If you have the ability to torrent, go to FMHY (someone else linked it here) and find 720pier. They’re recordings, not live streams, but personally I like that for American football since you can skip the insane amount of commercials. They do have a minimum ratio requirement but the site is popular enough that it’s easy to meet just by seeding for a day or so
Everything is homogenized now
I’m interested to know what you mean by this, because if anything, I’ve heard the older generations reminisce about ye olde monoculture when there was only a handful of good shows on a handful of television channels, and everyone would tune in weekly to watch and then talk about the next day around the water cooler. I feel like streaming has led to things being more fragmented, both because you need to be subscribed to the one service that carries the show and because there’s so many more shows being made.
