That was my first thought, why is this not written in a scripting language. Any one.

rin is pretty much the place for stuff like that

It is alive on their home tracker, BLU, with 4 seeds.

It sounds like you just need some good release groups to focus on. Ditch automation and sort out what exactly you want, then phase back in radarr.

For my desktop, I have two disks. One is root, one is home. They are single BTRFS filesystems with automated snapshots, compressions, and a few subvolumes. Works great.

For a laptop, similar but with only a single disk/partition and FDE. Also works well.

I went through and built a license, then read through it.

I don't think most of the things contained would be legally enforceable. We barely even have traditional open licensing that works, much less one that tries to enforce an ethical framework. Instead of this, we should work toward wide-reaching law that protects people's rights, something that has teeth. Asking people to please not enslave someone with your library will never work, they will do it anyway or just not use your library, as they already do with copyleft licenses.

Arch on desktop/laptop because I'm very comfortable with it, and I can set it up the way I like.

Debian on servers because it's stable and nearly everything has a package available, or at least instructions for building.

Same as OP, but I'm not likely to change them out. I've tried a lot of distros over the years and this is what works best for me.

Someone send this to Stallman, so he can later download, print and view it at his pleasure.

I run such games on Linux now, mostly with wine/proton. There is some risk, sure, but I'd largely say that system is still secure. If something comes by and wipes out the system, I have snapshots of anything important, including root and home. If those are gone, I have versioned backups offsite and maybe offline. I don't expect to receive any malware targeting my somewhat esoteric software choices from windows games, so I feel okay logging into a secure sevice, for example, but I may have to adjust this in the future.

With regards to smartphones, I think there are so many holes that it's not much more secure, if any, than a paranoid desktop setup. From time to time I have installed random APKs and had extreme anxiety each time. I am massively more paranoid about my phone as I don't have real control over what's running on it. Hoping for more competitive open source solutions in the future.

Generally speaking, opening non-executable files is fine. There are and have been specific exploits which allow arbitrary code execution, but it's dependent on the application/library loading them. The bigger danger is files disguised as other things. This is especially bad on Windows as it likes to hide that information from users, or just execute random embedded vbscripts, or whatever. Also see the recent whatsapp mimetype bug/exploit. Certain things pose more of a risk than others. PDFs (thanks adobe) can embed arbitrary javascript which is meant to be executed. Same as web pages, of course, but browsers have a lot more attention to sandboxing.

Edit: I don't really run cracked software anymore, but I have VMs ready to go if need be. Would recommend others do the same.

Air is actually good, but they don't have a lot of fast servers. You are naturally limited by the server you choose and peering.

I would just backup to an external drive or whatever locally. If you want a NAS, a simple SBC will do. If you really want RAID, get an old optiplex and hook up a couple drives in RAID-1.

For drives, get some CMR WD drives under warranty.

Keep one copy encrypted in the cloud, one offline local, another offsite not overly near you.

MakeMKV is non-free proprietary software. It just happens to be free while in beta, which it has been forever. There's not a lot of great free software solutions that do the same thing, in fact it's the main (or only) way people extract 4k BDs with the FEL intact.
