yeah this has got me second guessing hosting my own instance as well.

I’m not nor was I angry, just being honest.

They don’t. Only shitty trackers. Every tracker I use has zero ads. A thing called private trackers exist. Every good torrent site has zero ads.

If you can’t get in a private tracker and don’t want ads, usenet is better than public trackers anyways.

Private trackers >/= usenet > public trackers

Also running an LSI 9211-8i P20 in IT mode - you pick that up from theartofserver or flash yourself?

How much is that VPS costing you monthly?

Agreed. Rack mount is cool but I don’t have the space for that

Yeah the r7 xl is crazy, and pretty pricey.

A little overkill for my needs at this point in time as well. R5 is midtower and I didn’t feel like going full tower.

Just added 5x18TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS (CMR) drives to my build.

it’s a retired desktop/gaming pc

• Ryzen 5600x
• Radeon 580 gpu
• 3x4tb zfs raidz1 array
• 5x18tb zfs raidz1 array
• 48gb RAM (to be upgraded)
• Plex, jellyfin (and jellyvue) both behind a reverse proxy, other non related services like vaultwarden etc
• Sonarr/radarr/lidarr/jackett via docker using private trackers, running mostly linuxserver.io docker images
• Proxmox

Edit: along with the 5 new drives, switched to a fractal R5 case to accommodate the amount of hard drives

Indigenous peoples have acknowledged a “third gender” aka non binary for centuries - way before colonization.

How can you say self identifying in regards to sex/gender is a recent ideology when it’s been part of human history for centuries?

Sounds like bland, generic, thoughtless conservative nonsense to eliminate other perspectives (especially when you discount them as new despite existing for centuries)

some private trackers economies are easier than others and let you benefit off seed TIME rather than upload amount, so as long as you actively seed you still can gain points to gather buffer, etc. So yes it is possible.

Also depends on your internet speeds. I don’t use a seedbox and have done just fine, though I’ve had the luck of having had 300 mbps -> 500 mbps -> gigabit ethernet within the last 5 years.

Then that just means everything you’re looking for is common or freshly released/uploaded.

Ppl looking for niche content, it’s not gonna be on public trackers as often.

Also the main benefit of private vs Public is that you can find a 10-15 year old torrent of some niche content and it will still be actively seeded.

With public trackers, there is less retention of seeders, even more so for less common content.

Public trackers often end up with tons of dead torrents with 0-1 seeders after a couple years pass.

And on a private tracker there is incentive to keep old torrents alive. On public there is none. Ppl grab and run.

I’ve never stressed over my ratio

I didn’t say anything about that and don’t disagree but private trackers definitely have less of it due to their content having more scrutiny and standards.

Nothing is perfect. My comment only strived to let people know about private trackers as I saw multiple people ask about it.
