My dodgy friend, I have appealed to my wife not once or twice but three times that we should drop all our subs and return to those placid waters that I sailed in my younger days. She has yet to relent in her view that we should stay on the right side of the law. I look for any opportunity to press my advantage. Do you have a suggestion as to the perfect argument that will sway her?

Tell her that the scurvy money lubbars have formed a trade organization that hoards booty. Money be a terrible temptation for sin and removin temptation from them is the only Christian thing to do. Iffen yee fly the flag of a different country and only dock at exclusive ports they will never catch yee.

Yee can even rig yer ship to scuttle the moment yer actual flag is raised.

Disable ad blocking temporarily because it's not on the "right side of the law"

My family was reluctant to watch movies from my jellyfin server until I told them I use a seed box to torrent and host the jellyfin server

Interesting! I didn't know this was a thing.

Sonarr and radarr can automate torrent gathering. They can read a list of shows from places like Trakt, then ask torrent sites for the download once it becomes available.

Public torrent sites are less reliable and under relatively more surveillance. Private trackers are a good option, but it takes a bit of effort to gain entry and maintain membership.

There are also platforms like Seren or Fen, which are addons for a media program called Kodi. These programs can automate streaming from non-torrent sources. Free sources can have limited bandwidth, but it's watchable usually. You'll get the occasional gap in an episode. Paid services like Real Debrid can offer faster streaming and better coverage.

All of this should be behind a VPN.
