As a Streamfab user (well, not so much now) all I can say is find anything else, because it is a giant pain in the ass for no benefit you can't get if you spend five more minutes putting together a better solution
Also the amount of downtime between fixes is crazy. I'm always appreciative of the option being available but I used to wait up to a year for a fix at times. And their forum community is awful and talks down to anyone who ever questions the developers or potential bugs.
 
Oh yeah I'm absolutely convinced that the majority of posters on their forums are shills or otherwise have some kind of incentive to suck the dev's dicks as hard as they do

There's literally nothing on any streaming service that you can't find via another medium, is what I'm saying
I used the 3 free trial downloads, but haven't made any purchases.

Is there a way to make Chrome automatically translate a website? Using RuTracker is a pain in the ass because I have to go into settings and manually make Chrome translate each page.

FMHY has a translator section linked directly from the RuTracker 'tools' entry, there are a couple of browser extensions listed there. I think I used to use the Firefox 'Translate Web Pages' one, if that still exists, which would just let you set default 'yes' on particular sites.

I don't know for a fact that it's an inherited feature from Chromium, but in Brave, the language settings include an option to automatically translate particular languages, though not particular sites.

Serious question: what is proper etiquette for torrents that won't seed? Most of my collection is lesser known/older titles that maybe half a dozen other people in the world have any interest in.

Don't be a nigger, permaseed and keep that content alive

This is the best thing to do. It was probably hard for you to find and download in the first place. The next guy is going to be ecstatic that anyone is still seeding it at all.

My library is stored on an external hard drive connected to my PC that has a tendency to disconnect, for lack of a better word, from time to time when my PC goes to sleep (all windows from said hard drive close and a new window opens when PC wakes back up). If I were to seed from that hard drive, would it fuck up the seeding when it disconnects and reconnects? I'd love to have a separate PC just for seeding, say copy the hard drive's contents and connect it to a spare laptop, but I have to be rather discrete with my piracy. As my tagline thingy says, I am a dipshit and as such pissed off our ISP (I have since gotten a VPN).

The smoothest tech is to have some shitbox computer (like a Raspberry Pi, I have an old rk322x Android box that runs Armbian that I got for $3 that would work like a champ for this) that handles your VPN for you. Then run your torrents on it. Then it doesn't matter if your PC sleeps, and it pulls fewer watts than your average lightbulb.

Computer sleep cycles are weird. If your system detects it, it might just not sleep when you're seeding. But it'll likely handle your torrents decently well. It's not like the tech is new, and most programs have had decades to develop specific handlers for the various sleep states.

Looks like I have some research to do because I don't know what most of that stuff is and my resident IT guy is very anti-piracy. My PC does go to sleep while seeding.

https://pi-hole.net/ -- this could be your excuse, but it's gonna be hard to sell him on it if you don't know the tech well. You can stack VPN, pi-hole, and torrent seed in one Pi quite readily. I wish you luck, but a place with a "resident IT guy" who is anti-piracy is going to be quite an adversarial scenario and that detail alone makes me uncertain of your success.

Get one of those mini stick PCs,. Set it up with a VPN. Put a micro SD in there to store your shit. Stick it in the back of your TV. Plug the power into an outlet so it stays on when the TV is off. Use it to torrent/seed. if anyone asks, it's for playing Stardew Valley and shit like that on your TV.

It's funny, I don't think I've ever met anyone who's into computers who was actually anti-piracy. I guess they exist somewhere.

Not sure where to put this either in the Anime thread or here but the Japanese government published this anti-piracy video about wanting you to support the poor manga writers who made all these iconic heroes and animes!

What frightened me is that they are rather poorly-researched as, while it is primarily meant to be anti-manga piracy, it also shows a few anime clips and also mostly just displays the heroes and not the names of the IPs, nor even their authors. That is because they are shoved to the back of the video like they're footnotes, which shows this is definitely just a "fund bullshit practices" propaganda

It also suspiciously leaves out anime mentions too, which is what more of the anti-piracy seems to be targetting.

If you're willing to shell out ~20$ monthly, you can set up a small seedbox on a torrent-friendly VPS like IncogNET. Do be weary that they only allow private trackers, so if you intend to seed publicly you might get into a pickle. I also live in a rental where I have a faggot "main tenant" that handles contact with the ISP and 100% sniffs packets then comes knocking on your door if he spots "suspicious behavior". Couldn't be fucked dealing with him so I ended up getting a mifi router. That's also an option by the by, if you're willing to invest in a WWAN capable device and or Pi hat. Won't be near as good as an ethernet connection, but miles better than being an "IT guy"'s nigger.

He's an old geezer. Also very anti-KF. I've seen he watching the shittiest cam recording of Deadpool & Wolverine on YouTube. By shitty, I mean the camera was constantly moving around and the screen was rarely more than 20% in-frame. I guess it's not piracy if it's on YouTube and migraine-inducing to watch.
 
I love how they even decided to call the act of copying a floppy, way back when, with a cool name like "piracy." It's like you got to be a cool pirate and fly the Jolly Roger, pure awesomeness.

That didn't do much to discourage the practice.
 
When I was a student I couldn't justify the money for a VPN or usenet provider so instead I'd load up a bunch of torrents on my laptop in the library while I studied
