That uses proof of work rather than just detecting and blocking the bots.

That would only help if they are still seeded when you need them. Torrents for something like individual TV episodes usually won’t have seeds for very long after the season pack gets released.

That assumes that everyone who pirates would become subscribers if they weren’t pirating. In reality, many people still wouldn’t pay if they couldn’t pirate what they want. Others may sign up for a month, binge watch what they want, then cancel for the rest of the year.

That display can run a maximum SPI clock speed of 15MHz. That’s enough to update the full screen about 45 times a second when using RGB565 mode. If you are using an ATmega based Arduino, it’s probably the CPU that’s limiting your speed. Color graphics take a lot of processing power. Just make sure you’re using hardware SPI and that the SPI clock is set as high as it will go without going over 15MHz.

OK, let me know when I can buy a TV the size of an IMAX screen to take advantage of that resolution.

The GPU won’t have any issues encoding several video streams at the same time. That’s not really necessary though. The cameras will do the encoding for you. Just set the bitrate and framerate that you want on the camera and pass that through. Most cameras support two streams, the secondary stream is usually limited to SD though. All of my Hikvision cameras support RTSP. It’s mostly just the consumer grade crap that only works with the manufacturers cloud service so they can spy on you or restrict features whenever they want.

Don’t make the mistake I did and buy any Hikivision stuff from Amazon. They are all grey market and the firmware can’t be updated. I tried to update one of mine and now the user interface is stuck in Chinese. You have to get them from an authorized distributor.

It’s working fine here. Are you sure you didn’t get a fake version of the site?

The only real solution is to always keep your source files. PDFs are not intended to be edited.

I just keep all of my music in an NFS share on my NAS and play it with Rhythmbox or VLC. I keep a compressed copy on the SD card in my phone to listen to when I’m not home.

The last movie I watched in a theater was Top Gun Maverick.

There haven’t been many good movies lately. It’s been 3 years since there was one good enough for me to watch in a theater. Hollywood has just been producing large volumes of low quality crap lately.

Most of the music I listen to is from the 70’s through the 90’s. I already have just about everything I want to listen to.

It doesn’t, but running everything through a tunnel to get IPv4 access would. OP wants only the IPv4 traffic to go over a tunnel.

I started getting most of my definitely public domain stuff from TorrentLeech when TG started having issues. Keep an eye out for an open signup. The rest comes from RuTracker, 1337x and The Pirate Bay.

My NAS uses a similar amount of power. The drives use most of the power. The PC uses less than 20W on its own. Upgrading to a couple of large helium filled drives will save a good bit of power. SATA drives tend to use a little less power than SAS drives too.

Those use a lithium ion cell, so they have a buck converter to step the voltage down to 1.5V, which will always use some power. They are not suitable low draw devices because of the high self discharge rate. They can’t be used in high draw devices because the buck converter can only supply a limited amount of current. They also produce noisy power which can cause issues with radios and audio equipment. The USB port and charge circuitry take up a lot of space, so you get less capacity too. A low self discharge NiMH cell will be better for almost any use.

If you buy thunderbolt cables, they support everything. If you look at the cost of those cables, you will see why not all USB cables support every feature. They are also limited to 1 meter without active circuitry, which will make them even more expensive.

There’s a lot of stuff that you can’t even buy now.

They should just remove the DRM from all streaming services. The fact that new TV shows can be downloaded within minutes of airing is a good indicator that it doesn’t work for its intended purpose. It just makes me find another source since I can’t watch them using my preferred browser and operating system.

My dynamic IPv6 prefix hasn’t changed in a couple of years. It only changed because I reset the router config and that changed my DUID. That’s good enough for everything I host. I don’t even bother with dynamic DNS anymore.

I wouldn’t bother with trying to host an email server from a residential connection though. Even if you can get your ISP to open port 25 for you, many email servers won’t accept mail from residential IP addresses.

Streaming sites go down all the time and the quality is usually terrible. Downloading the same stuff every time you want to watch it is just wasting the seeders bandwidth.
