Not sure if this convinces me… Installing a new service on your PC just to search from within qBittorrent? When one has a trusted torrent site where one can check torrent comments & shit? Perhaps I’ll give it a try but I’m not sure if it’s such a game changer as the author claims.
A lot of us use jackett or prowlarr already for radarr/sonarr integration. I use it occasionally to search multiple sites at once and avoid using public torrent sites’ front ends.
If you’re downloading manually there aren’t really a lot of advantages to this I think, unless you search through 10 or more sites every time. For automated downloads using sonarr/radarr/lidarr/… it’s pretty mandatory.
If you use Sonarr and Radarr, I highly recommend Prowlarr. If an indexer gets taken down or you find a new one, you can quickly add or remove them just from Prowlarr and it’ll do the same to your other *arrs.
It’s got a ton of built-in indexer options to set it up quickly.
If I’m already using Jackett with Sonarr/Radar and don’t really have any problems with it, should I still consider trying Prowlarr? What is it doing differently?
Prowlarr is the preferred search engine for all the *Arr services. I switched because when you make adjustments to Prowlarr (adding/removing/modifying sources, changing search priorities, etc.), those changes automatically carry over to Sonarr/Radarr/etc.
I have a ton of sources that I micromanage because I have turbo-autism. It was a pain in the ass to tinker with the sources in multiple places with Jackett, and I wound up with lots of gaps and asymmetry. Prowlarr is just cleaner.
For me? I installed it and set it up according to the instructions, didn’t work. Reported it, got tech support, still doesn’t work. And I never got a good reason why, just that “it always works.”
Most people love it, so I’m not saying its not great. Just that all I get is errors
Are the indexers (torrent sites) you are trying to add to jackett blocked by your ISP? If so, they won’t work in jackett without a VPN, just like how they won’t open in a browser without a VPN.
I’d love to great an openai account to try gpt4, but they are hardcore about wanting your phone number. I purchased half a dozen different phone numbers but all were rejected by their filters. A real workaround for this service is very much in need.
One thing I dislike about Lemmy so far is the amount of highly suspicious links no one has ever heard of, that are constantly being shared. Makes me as a user really paranoid to touch any links before examining the url closely, which is good practice I guess, but makes the whole content browsing process a bit stressful.
It seems like a handful of links are trying to be “open source” in terms of YouTube playbacks getting redirected or other means of copying other websites. That being said, it is getting sketchy when I’m unfamiliar with all of them.
i like this aspect of lemmy, because it lets me get to know new independent websites and blogs :-) after all, the internet should be closer to the people and more far from the big platforms
I generally agree, but as long as there is no safe way to prevent malware spam posts (of which I reported plenty whenever I encountered them) I find it a minefield that is uncomfortable to navigate when I just want to browse some content lying in bed.
This looks like a pretty good list, but I worry about the fact that they promote Brave. I’ve seen many users warn against it, and after reading the wikipedia page for Brave Browser, I understand why.
Hard pass. Brave at the top of some of these lists while its Founder/CEO’s beliefs and political contributions are a major reason that privacy is needed to face real state threats against marginalized communities and individuals? Fuck right off.
Awesome list. I was already using most of these but the DNS is new to me, so I’ll give it a spin. I was already using AdAway on my phone but that was already handling the DNS traffic, so I had to disable it. I like the Mullvad DNS better because AdAway was working as a psuedo-VPN which wasn’t ideal
