movie-web always seemed like such a sitting duck for takedowns like this. Any form of piracy that’s grabbing from a few centralized streaming servers is bound to be shut down.
P2P torrents over a VPN is the most resilient way to do piracy.

It would help to not have a complete mess of a naming scheme for their phones. It should be:
Moto E: Budget/entry level Moto G: Mid-range Moto Edge/RAZR: Flagship phones
There’s no need to confuse everything by adding 20 different versions of each tier with stylus/power/activ/whatever added to the name.
Which search indexers are you using in radarr/sonarr?
DHT allows discovery of torrents by pinging the IP addresses from an existing torrent, and asking them what other files they’re sharing. It then pings the other IP addresses seeding those files, and asks them what they’re sharing, and so on.
You can either use a torrent search index site (many of them use DHT to create their database) or you can self host your own DHT crawler and have your own personal torrent search index, but the downside is it uses a decent amount of space to store the index.
BitMagnet is the best self hosted DHT indexer if you’re interested: https://github.com/bitmagnet-io/bitmagnet
Now that DHT makes trackers unnecessary in order to find torrents, what’s the point of private trackers other than gatekeeping?
They’re a publisher whose content is hosted on their own streaming service. It’s classic vertical integration.
I think the current model is better actually, because then the streaming services have to compete with each other on content, user experience, and price.
This way, you only need to subscribe to the streaming services that have the shows you’re currently watching, and can cancel whenever you’re done with those shows, until the next one comes along.
If a streaming service bundles multiple studios shows together, then you’re paying for a ton of content you may not even care about, just like how cable is.
At the end of the day, unless someone is watching hours and hours of tv a day, it’s unlikely they need to simultaneously subscribe to 7 streaming services.
isn’t about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have.
But you can argue that part of what makes a streaming service a good product, is the literal product they produce, their content.

This is why it’s more and more important to have tools like BitMagnet that allow you self host it, and crawl/index the DHT to essentially have your own torrent search database that doesn’t rely on 3rd party trackers.
Just pulled the latest and tried again, and it works now! Thanks
Dude this is amazing! Exactly the sort of thing I’ve been hoping would pop up to further “decentralize” the torrent search experience.
So I’m trying to run it on my machine through the docker-compose option, and I’m seeing something weird. It shows as successfully running, but when I go to the port it should be running on, I get “unable to connect” on my browser.
When I check my containers running, it shows the 3 bitmagnet containers, but the port doesn’t show.
You can now install Tailscale on AppleTV. Tailscale is a sort of personal VPN service that allows you to directly connect your personal devices to each other over the internet. tvOS 17 added support for VPNs to run on Apple TV.
What this means in the case of AppleTV region coding:
If for example, you have a computer at home that’s running tailscale, and you take your AppleTV with you while on vacation in let’s say, Egypt, you can set Tailscale on your AppleTV to use the Tailscale node on your home computer as an exit node, and you’ll be able to stream Hulu on that AppleTV in your hotel in Egypt normally because the traffic is tunneling through your computer back home in the US, and it thinks that’s where you’re located.
Normally with commercial VPNs, that wouldn’t work because Hulu/Netflix/etc have a list of IP addresses associated with VPN services, and so they’d detect youre connected to that VPN and block you from using it. But in the case of tailscale, the IP address they see is that of your computer back home, so they don’t think you’re connected to a VPN.
This can also theoretically help get around Netflixes password sharing restrictions, because if the account owner runs an exit node on their AppleTV, and the other password sharers set their AppleTVs to use that owners AppleTV as their exit node, Netflix will think the logins are all coming from the same IP address located in one place.
Ah good to know, thanks!
I use PodGrab, and think it’s great for saving local copies of podcast episodes to your server:
Intel’s Foundry Services will still be part of Intel as a company, as opposed to AMD spinning their foundry off into a separate company called Global Foundries.
