Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

I have a solution for everyone having problems.

Private Internet Access (specifically for port forwarding) in docker container networked with the below container QBitTorrent in a docker container

prowlarr to connect to private torrent websites

watch the community open signups for invites or just buy one, a good start is iptorrents or torrentday (same people).

attached the private torrent login to prowlarr

add sonarr or radarr to prowlarr and start downloading shows for free to your plex or whatever you wanna use. Use google or CHATGPT to figure out how to do all this shit. But honestly if they don't want to play fair, why should we. PIRACY FOR THE WIN!

I just set all this up this past weekend on my home server. It was a really fun learning experience, and it all works quite well so far. Highly recommend.

Overseerr is also a great app you can use to allow users to request/auto-download content they want to watch straight to Plex, etc.

yeah its fucking awesome. Its a learning curve for sure but in the end you kind of see that its actually pretty easy to get going. But yeah, first time doing it, expect frustration. Overseer is amazing! :)
