Worst of all, it’s loss

100% agree with all of this.

Only thing to add is occasionally you can find coupons/deals on providers and indexers. Lots around November for black friday and a handful of indexers have lifetime plans.

That complicates things. I would check whether subtitles are enabled (burn-in is notoriously slow) and then try manually adding your server via the app (to rule out wan/relay). Could also recreate the issue and check the server logs - timestamps should tell you what actions were taken when.

Difficult to say without more detail but it’s likely transcoding. You can view how much is cached via tautulli if that’s something you have set up.

Anywhere you can choose what communities you do and do not interract with is going to be an echo chamber. Lemmy and all social media are echo chambers. We aren’t special.

Don’t take for granted the spaces that are not. I am a firm believer that a well-guided opinion must be bathed in scrutiny — which you are never going to get in an echo chamber.

As human beings we have a tendency to get defensive at the first hint of a challenge. I would urge others to be conscious of this and give yourselves space to consider these challenges to your ideas.

I was never a huge fan of those binhex containers assuming that’s what you’re using. Updates become a chore for maintainers when containers try to do too much and they also become responsible for making sure everything works together. Also, just me, but I don’t like the idea of funneling other traffic that needs a vpn through a container that is tightly coupled to my torrent client.

Recommend trying a standalone transmission container and using a gluetun container’s network. https://docker-compose.de/en/gluetun/

There are other options such as qbittorrent or deluge though I would not recommend deluge due to IP leaks and it hasn’t been updated since 2022

Yes. It stopped being good around 2010-2012 depending on who you ask. Unfortunately there are still plenty of old blog posts praising it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ΜTorrent
