Very good choice for a mobile browser based on Firefox. I’ve been using Iceraven on my phone for some years now and it’s definitely better than default mobile Firefox. I’m sure you’ll like it.

I love this explanation so much lol

The game’s exclusive early access period for purchasers of the premium edition just released. Big name streamers are playing and streaming the game. Reviews are pouring out of every game review site. On top of all that, the general release is days away. Obviously, people are gonna be talking about it.

You can get the FFUpdater app from F-Droid, then use that to install Brave to your phone. But at that point, you may as well just use FFUpdater to install the much better alternative, Firefox, which doesn’t indirectly support Chromium engine dominance and doesn’t have that weird crypto crap Brave has.

Edit: Someone else replied to you suggesting Mull, which is also downloadable through the FFUpdater app.

Huh, I never knew the RotS novelization came out before the movie. Always assumed it was released sometime after.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

I’d recommend AirVPN. They offer IPv6 support and port forwarding. Speeds are good too. I switched to them after Mullvad removed port forwarding support and the speeds were consistent.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Air supports gigabit speeds if you connect through Wireguard (which you should be doing anyway since it’s just plain better than OpenVPN)

I don’t believe they’ve had any audits or court cases at any point. Generally, I view it as a bad thing when a VPN company gets taken to court or otherwise involved with the authorities, since it indicates they’re in the crosshairs of the government and private lobbying interests, so the fact that they’ve gone under the radar all these years (they were established in 2010) is a plus in my opinion. I suppose a third party audit wouldn’t hurt though.

I still switched to them despite the lack of any audit though because from what I’d read on their about us page, the company was established by privacy activists and hackivists, so that was enough for me to trust them, personally. I tend to trust idealist types over finance-driven entities that run tech companies in the pursuit of profit rather than true ideals like the preservation of a free and open internet. I don’t fault you for going for a higher standard than that though, at least when it comes to proof.

The code for Vanced was never open source, so Revanced isn’t technically a fork. They had to recreate all of Vanced’s features manually.

Jackett is a program that allows you to configure multiple indexers (torrent sites, like 1337x, EZTV, RuTor, Nyaa.si, etc.) in a single interface, that way you can search through all of them at the same time. Jackett, and another program just like it called Prowlarr, is usually used in conjunction with the .arr suite of programs (Radarr, Sonarr, etc.), but it includes a manual search function that allows you to query all the indexers you have set up in the interface at the same time. That’s exclusively what I use it for.

So, for example, I have 22 indexers set up in my installation of Jackett. I can use the manual search function to search through all of them at once, then I can sort the results by seeder count, publish date, and file size, and I can filter through the results to find exactly what I’m looking for. Once I’ve found the file I want, I can copy the magnet link directly from the search results and paste it into Qbittorrent. It’s an extremely easy way to find files quickly, and it’s much more efficient than manually going to a bunch of different torrent sites to search for a file that might not even be available there. With Jackett, I’ve literally never once had a case where I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for. That’s how good it is.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Funny you should mention it, I actually discovered Jackett through Radarr/Sonarr. I saw a lot of people a few years ago on r/Piracy raving about how much they love their Radarr/Sonarr setup, so I decided to follow a video tutorial on how to set up Radarr/Sonarr. One of the steps was to install and configure Jackett. Long story short, I realized a Radarr/Sonarr setup just wasn’t worth it for me (didn’t have the time/money to set up a dedicated computer for it), so I uninstalled all the .arr programs and gave up on that, but I forgot to uninstall Jackett. Later, I rediscovered it on my system, and while poking around on the interface, I found the manual search function and used it. Suffice to say, it’s all been uphill from there lol

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

I’ve considered switching to this program, but from what I’ve heard, its manual search isn’t as good as Jackett’s, and I only use Jackett for manual searching. Apparently Prowlarr is more suited for use with the .arr suite, which is why its manual search isn’t as good, and it doesn’t have as many available indexers. I heard all this a while ago, though. Is this all still the case?

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Jackett comes preloaded with 574 indexers, and none of the ones I use are private. All of mine are public indexers, you just have to know the names of some popular torrent sites. I discovered half the indexers I use from people on r/Piracy (before the migration) talking about how much they like how they work. That’s how I found Idope, Knaben, and Torlock. Others, like 1337x, Nyaa.si, LimeTorrents, and EZTV are all indexers I was familiar with as I had used them personally and recognized them when I clicked into the “add indexers” drop-down on the interface. Barring all that, you could just ask someone else to send you a screenshot of all the indexers they use on their Jackett setup. Here’s a list of the ones I use. Adding indexers to Jackett is basically the easiest part, and you only have to do it once.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

I actually have done that, but Qbit’s built-in search doesn’t have the same search filtering options. For instance, I can’t sort torrents by upload date on the Qbit web-ui (this is the most important missing feature, imo), or set it to only search certain indexers and not others, and it has no category related options. It has the essentials, but the Jackett interface is just cleaner and more feature rich in my opinion. That’s why I stopped using the Qbit search engine in favor of Jackett.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Ah. Well, I don’t use Usenet and Jackett’s interface suits me fine. Guess I’ll stick to Jackett then. Thanks for the info!

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

I think you may have replied to the wrong post? At least you still received an answer, though, lol.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

I don’t torrent on mobile, so I have no idea if a mobile equivalent to this exists, sorry.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Gotta say, in over 2 years of using this program, I’ve never had that happen even once.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

No problem.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

I don’t use .arr programs, so not really, lol. At least not in my case, anyway. Stremio fills the niche for all my media needs quite nicely, and Qbit and Jackett cover everything else.

Edit: Really, downvoting someone for using Stremio instead of the .arr suite? Lol. Stay classy, c/Piracy.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

You probably have, but did you follow the official configuration tutorial?

I had no trouble setting it up before. Seemed very easy to me. Where are you getting stuck in the process?

Alternatively, you could just search directly in Jackett’s interface with the “manual search” option. That’s what I do. I find it preferable to setting it up with the Qbit search engine since Jackett’s search has more features.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Jackett doesn’t require a VPN to use? Unless you mean torrents in general, in which case yeah, you do kinda need a VPN for those if you live in a country that prosecutes torrenting. Fortunately, you can just direct download stuff in that case.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

See, I was hoping this meme would inform at least one person that Qbittorrent comes with an in-built search engine. That’s how I found out about it in the first place, through a meme lol

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

I’m not sure if they have an android version of Jackett. It would be a dream come true if that were the case, but I’m sure it would be listed in the Jackett github page if a mobile version was available. Sadly, there’s no mention if anything like that on the github page.

Really glad to hear you were able to get Jackett working, though! It really is an amazing program.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

As I mentioned in a different comment here, I’m already familiar with the arr suite. It’s how I found Jackett in the first place, and I’ve already determined that setting up the .arr programs isn’t worth it for me. Stremio suits me just fine, the .arr programs appear to be better suited toward those with the time and money to setup a whole dedicated server for their media needs. I only consume media on my personal computer, so I have no need for that.

I have tried Prowlarr though, just yesterday in fact. I didn’t really find its manual search feature to be any better than Jackett’s, and in fact it had some issues. In any case, since I don’t use the .arr programs, I’ve no reason to switch. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

They handle the downloading, extraction, categorising and naming of the media you want and they can do that automatically.

I’m good with handling this manually, or rather, I don’t even have to handle any of this since Stremio takes care of it, and I have neither the hard drive space nor the bandwidth to devote toward allowing a bunch of programs to just start downloading large files perpetually in the background, filling up my hard drive and taking up all my bandwidth lol. The .arr suite is best combined with a seedbox and a dedicated computer. All I have is a 1.5 TB hard drive and no gigabit internet speeds.

And honestly, I don’t see what appreciable amount of “time and effort” this is going to save for me. With Stremio, it’s as easy as going into the catalog (or using the search bar), clicking a movie, and picking one of the releases from the menu. If I wanna watch a show or movie that isn’t out yet or whose upcoming season is yet to be released, I can just add it to my library and turn on notifications.

It doesn’t get any easier than that, doesn’t require a massive hassle with a set-up process involving several different programs and trial and error, and I don’t have to devote hard drive space for every show or movie I want to watch, since Stremio keeps files on a temporary cache that gets deleted at regular intervals, so it doesn’t end up filling my hard drive. This system is perfect for me, I have no reason to change it.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Finally, someone speaking sense on a piracy community. So many people around these communities constantly push the .arr suite without ever mentioning that it just isn’t worth the time or resources to set up for a single individual watching on their personal computer lol. It honestly gets really grating after a while. It’s like you said, these programs are best utilized by media collectors and people serving media to groups of users, like a family. For most average users, Stremio with the Torrentio plug-in is all they need.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Huh, it works on my end. I tested it just the other day.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Thank you! :)

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

This has happened to me with my own bank sometimes, though thankfully all I have to do is call them, report the blocked payment, and answer the same useless questions that don’t really prove anything security-wise, and that’s it. I’m not sure why they insist on doing this song and dance, but at least I don’t have to drive all the way to one of their locations to get it resolved, lol.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

Ah, well, that sucks. Do you have any idea if the devs are aware of this bug? If so, I hope they fix it one day.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago

This reminds me of the time Ubisoft developers decided to have a bitchfit about Elden Ring because it didn’t have any of the same shitty monetization or trash formulaic design choices as their games.

It’s like these developers think that because they’re painfully mediocre, every other studio is required to be as well.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Huh, it never occurred to me to block the notification through uBO. I’ll make sure to do that the next time it shows up. Shame I can’t use the same method on the Gmail app to make it go away forever.

Nitrate55, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

The notification to enable enhanced safe browsing even shows up when you’re accessing Gmail on Firefox. It doesn’t even make any damn sense, this feature only works on Chrome. And of course they’ll never add a “don’t show again” option. Think I might just set Gmail to forward to my Proton account from now on.

Edit: found an article on how to forward to ProtonMail in case anyone else wants to know how. Seems very easy to do.

Reminds me of this song.

At first I thought it was a joke. Then I saw stuff like this, and now this post. Why is this a recurring thing? Is it just some kind of horrible running joke?

It remains unclear whether the pilot intentionally designed the shape. Insider asked Lufthansa about this, but the airline avoided the question in its response.

Halo: The Fall of Reach. I decided to finally play through all of the games so I purchased the Master Chief collection, played through Halo 1, then read an article detailing the full timeline of events. According to that, I have 3 books to read before I can get to Halo 2. Fall of Reach is the Master Chief’s origin story, while the next book is the novelization of Halo 1, and the third fills in the gap between Halo 1 and 2. Suffice to say, I’ve got a lot to read before I can get to Halo 2, lol. Fortunately, I love reading, so this should be fun.
