I'd suggest lemmy.ca also.
Before I made my account here I was doing research to see if I was going to start my own instance or not. I had very similar requirements as yours but also some around security, patching, and long walks on the beach.
Honestly, the lemmy.ca admins (including Shadow) seem to know their stuff. They're active on github, patch regularly, and actually care about the community. As an end user, everything I could ask for. <3
I've read someone in the US can lock in for the 25 years.
Yeah, and my ISP has been legally told to block all Access to IPTV and do so. Why this happens I don't understand (or agree with). Going after the source is the only one true way to stop access.
Cloudflare is a popular service for public torrent sites because they cache the content, protect from DDOS, and hide the server address. They're not on the hook for what their customers do.
Never heard of Nostr.
PKI? GPG? Private key shows you own the account. All instances keep a copy of your public key. You go direct to the instance to get the content. When you want to post you sign your message and send it along.
I'm sure smarter people then me have considered this and more so I'm not sure what's possible.
I get "in the real world" is different but lemmy.world shouldn't be held responsible for what another instance or their users are doing.
Where is the line drawn? I buy a harddrive to store movies, use my ISP to download it, power company to run the PC. Should we sue them also? Should they try and censor what I do? WD sees a movie on my disk, should they delete it?
Yeah, we're basically on the same page here. Their instance, their rules.
I'm hopeful that in the future, accounts will be "in the fediverse", and end users can choose what they want to see or not see. Then it's on the instance that's hosting the community to determine what's okay to host or not.
It's their instance, their rules.
This is kind of my point. lemmy.world doesn't like what this community is doing so it's not hosted on their server. I get and respect that.
What I don't understand is the rationality behind blocking this specific community. It's someone somewhere deciding what I can or can't see on a remote host they have no control over.
I understand that but it affects the community and lemmy fediverse
So, this community isn't hosted on lemmy.world because they don't what that on their servers. Fine. But now they're censoring what I can see?! Are we okay with this?
After you add a show, You can hit the search icon within the show in sonarr and have it look for old EPs. It'll do all of this automatically but you do have to click the search icon and tell it to go look for the old stuff.
After that initial add+search it'll keep all your stuff updated. If a new ep comes out in the middle of the night it'll grab it for you.
I prefer the TorrentFreak article on VPNs.
