r/TV_NCA on reddit has such things… Though, that one is a members-only subreddit, so you will need a reddit account to get approved by a mod of the sub. I read somewhere that they’ll accept most membership requests - but only if the account has some karma…

The private torrent tracker TVCUK has it too.

I also saw a filehost link posted on a private Discord server - which is a different annoying obstacle in itself, and I’m not sure if I should share more details about that server in a public comment like this, though it is really great for UK, AU, NZ stuff. Though, if you can join r/TV_NCA a lot of the same stuff is available there too.

Other related public subreddits now we’re at it:

• r/TellyBum2 for UK stuff (but low activity)
• r/DownUnderTV and r/RooTV for AU/NZ stuff
• r/panelshow for various panelshows of the world but mainly UK ones
• r/notpanelshow for content featuring UK panelshow regulars but isn’t a panelshow

I use airvpn for torrents but depending on your European country you might not be able to.

Why would it not be an option in some countries? Are you saying it’s illegal or impossible to encrypt any traffic through a VPN while being in some of the countries, or what’s the matter?

Wont they take your money before the VPN is disabled/undetected?

MacOS uses the APFS file system format nowadays, and used HFS+ before that. FAT and ExFAT formats are supported too. However, the NTFS format needs third party software to work.

The very newly released Deepseek R1 “reasoning model” from China beats OpenAI’s o1 model on multiple areas, it seems – and you can even see all the steps of the pre-answering “thinking” that’s hidden from the user in o1. It’s a huge model, but it (and the paper about it) will probably positively impact future “open source” models in general, now the “thinking” cat’s outta the bag. Though, it can’t think about Tiananmen Square or Taiwan’s autonomy – but many derivative models will probably be modified to effectively remove such Chinese censorship.

Do you know, is this another tax additional to “blankmedieafgiften” (“blank media tax” or “private copying levy”), or is it the same tax under a different name?

My guess is it’s probably a national cultural tradition affected by previous or existing French laws and rightsholder practices regarding different common ways of “sailing”, making DDL from filehosts through debrid services a preferred choice over e.g. p2p methods like torrents, ed2k, gnutella etc. I’m pretty sure the filehosts+torrents products combo are a newer addition to debrid services without having used them myself. No idea about what their actual situation is and has been - but I know that some torrent trackers for French content currently exist today too.

Here are some alternatives to look into: https://slrpnk.net/post/15456722

Which is French too, and will probably go the same way as RD sooner rather than later…

Have a look at SmartTube. You’ll have to transfer the apk to your AndroidTV and sideload it.

Even TS releases?

The audio of a TS is captured with a direct connection to the sound source (often an FM microbroadcast provided for the hearing-impaired, or from a drive-in theater).

Which JBODs do you use for your 20TB Seagate Exos, and would you recommend?

I’m looking for recommendations for a solution that will work for 3 × 22TB white-label Seagate Exos, but it seems to me that only very few of the various JBOD enclosures available online are actually good products worth buying, but it isn’t always clear to me if they even support 22TB drives…

If it’s just Jellyfin, a SBC (like RPi 3B+ or better) running LibreELEC (just enough OS for Kodi) with the Jellycon add-on would do the job.

(There’s also the Jellyfin for Kodi add-on which integrates your Jellyfin media into the native Kodi library, but my success with that has been limited.)

Configure LibreELEC to auto-connect to your phone hotspot, then you’ll be able to control it using the Jellyfin or Kore app for selecting the media, and the Kore app for more advanced Kodi remote control. In my experience, at least, Kore is better for configuring subs and audiostreams, and for fwd/rev and fine-grained seeking.

Actually, I thought that Jellycon as the solution would make it impossible to select the media to play from the Kore app, but I just noticed that it’s actually possible:

In Kore, select “Addons” in the sidebar, tap “Jellycon”, then navigate to the “Content” tab, and tap “Jellyfin libraries”. This means that you can control it all from Kore! - though, imo, the media overview is a bit prettier in the Jellyfin app, but I think the trade-off is worth it for a more sleek solution. You’ll only need the Jellyfin app or webapp for forcing library scannings, editing metadata and such.

Would you mind sharing the list? Or is it just inside your head?
