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.

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.

Debian always wins.

I know people knock it, but Plex has worked without issue for me for years. They have apps dedicated to every type of media for easy browsing. It’s so simple my mom can use it without help.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Be the change you want to see in the world. If you are buying some disks anyway for the accessible tracks, you should rip and release them for others.

Sharing is caring.

Again, I asked “what am I missing.”

So…what am I missing? They installed company management software on their personal phone and they weren’t forced to.

I mean…they could have just said no and used a company phone, right? What am I missing? This just seems like they were telling people they could have their personal phone serve as a work phone as long as it was an iPhone because Apple is confident they can put their software on it for remote management.

If someone working for Apple didn’t know they are giving up some privacy by using their personal phone as a company managed work phone, then I’m not sure what they’ve learned in their tech career. I just worked at the Genius Bar as a college kid, and even I understood that—thus I never used my personal phone for work things and just used one of the hundreds of devices that were available for employees to use at work.

I’m a simple man. I see a sponsored result, I never use that company again.
