I need a bigger nerd than me to explain how much Apple users need to worry about this.

The Bible is not a very solid primary source document.

I’d even guess Austin Texas.

I could get laser surgery, but I choose glasses. I prefer how I look with them than without them, and sometimes they double as eye protection.

I saw Rick Astley way before the Japanese landscape. Does that mean I’m terminally online?

Gluetun is the way. Get a transmission docker container, set up a gluetun docker container, set the gluetun container as the network for the transmission container.

Viola, you have a perfectly working VPN with a kill switch.

The issue is that public trackers are too easy for people to monitor and pursue copyright infringement claims for. Private trackers, by design, are much harder to do that with, which makes them leaps and bounds safer to use.

Don’t think about it as keeping the common man out, it is about keeping The Man out.

It’s called private trackers, and they are great.

2001 was 24 years ago in 2 days. BitTorrent can drink.

The have significantly more content (in my experience), and the gate keeping is pretty much just having standards to keep the community safe, and the media seeded.

It is always time to join a private tracker.

I have about 60TB in mine. Media, man. Collecting is addictive.

I’m basically trying to do exactly what you are describing in your first paragraph. As I understand it, OBS Studio wants the camera directly connected to the device it is on, and MistServer allows it to be remotely connected from a different device on the local network. I’m trying to use Tailscale to create a local-ish network environment.

I haven’t heard of Dararhei before—I will definitely investigate that to see if it is a better solution than MistServer. From a cursory look, it seems like they basically do the same thing.

Because OBS studio allows me to have more control of the stream, do overlays on the screen, etc. I need to remotely connect to that software, and then it broadcasts it to Kick, YouTube, etc.

If I stream directly, then it will cut the stream if I lose cell connection, which is likely at times in Mexico, and I will basically be stuck to streaming on one service at a time.

The other advantage of having overlays with my username is that it will help people find me if I get clipped and put on YouTube by viewers.

This is an example of a service that does what I’m trying to do, but I’m trying to do the same thing for much cheaper:

Bruh, pirate? I’m talking about a livestream. A livestream of me that I will broadcast to an audience. Totally legal, no copyright—my original content.

Care to give me a hint?

To stream IRL in Mexico.

My apartment has internet that is just ok—I wanted the more reliable connection. I will be streaming IRL, so I can’t be on the local network.

They have streaming server services, but they are $100 per month, and I can get a high bandwidth VPS for much cheaper, and I have the tech skills to set things up myself. Just stumbling at the final hurdle here.

My family ranges between snobby bourgeoisie to lower level elites, and they act like they can’t comprehend anything that isn’t the squeaky clean version of the American Dream, seemingly to preserve their fragile illusion that they are better than anything less. Saying that they refuse to recognize their privilege would be the understatement of the year. I’ve heard members of millionaire families among them describe themselves as “middle class” because their friends are billionaires.

So, as you can imagine, it becomes difficult to know what to talk about when they think the movies I like are obscene, my problems at work are ungratefulness, my travels in Mexico are recklessness, my interest in technology is criminality, and the story of my life is a tragedy.

Hence, I tend to just get drunk and ask them questions to keep the focus off me, but I don’t always succeed.

I have a strangely opposite situation. Politics is one of the safer topics in my family, even though I am a lot further left than the rest of them.

If it’s movies, hobbies, travel, relationships, or anything else on the table, then I’m heavily outnumbered, and will inevitably be made to feel like shit about myself.

So, in my case, I have very little in common with them except for being on the left side of politics, and the areas that we disagree there feel much less personal than them judging all of my life choices.
