@arstechnica Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!
@Replyguy @arstechnica don't be forgettin the VPN when ye go ta parley, matey
@Bradcopter @arstechnica i2p me matey, sure it’s slower but self hosting the *arr I never noticed, the media just shows up.
@Replyguy @arstechnica huh, I'd never even heard of this before but now you've given me a whole pile of reading material and at least a project or three.
@Bradcopter #qbittorrent has experimental #i2p integration, if your setting up a stack. I recommend #dockge for breezy af container management and #gluetun for making sure all the traffic stays on i2p. Trash guides is a good place to start, it’s pretty comprehensive, if uh dryly written. You can get pretty granular control over the media that gets downloaded. I use mine with #Jellyfin as the frontend, you can even set it up jellyseerr to automate requests. Like having your own streaming service, you can run the whole thing on a pretty low end pc, mine is an old chrome box that I got on eBay for $20. For simplifying remote access and security, I run everything on Nebula mesh overlay.
