Surprised I had to scroll this far down to see this!


Sonarr and Radarr with Ombi for requests if desired. Transmission + OpenVPN for the download side.

Or you could manually rip DVDs/Blu Rays if you can still get ahold of them for the stuff you want to watch.


I use OTP Auth. Syncs via iCloud and has an Apple Watch app. Plus allows export which is convenient for if I ever want to switch platforms back to Android.


Did they ever satisfactorily resolve that issue, or did the media just stop covering it as aggressively? Last I heard they were trying to add solar shields to the satellites to reduce their albedo.


Discovered that the credentials for the library computers (which were helpfully printed on stickers for the forgetful librarians), were in fact domain admin credentials.

Gave myself a domain admin account, used that to obtain access to some sensitive teacher-only systems (mostly for the challenge, but also because I wanted to know what was going on my school report ahead of time).

My domain admin account got nuked, but presumably they didn’t know who had created it. Looked up the school’s vendor (“Research Machines Ltd.”) and found a list of default account credentials. Through trial and error, found another domain admin account. Made a new account (with a backup this time) and used it to install games on my classroom’s computers.

Also changed the permissions on my home directory so that the school’s teachers (who were not domain admins) couldn’t view my files, because I felt that this was too invasive at the time.

That last bit got me caught proper, and after a long afternoon in the principal’s office I left school systems alone after that for fear of having a black mark on my “permanent record”.


Yeah, like shake-to-undo. I was dumbfounded when I discovered that the ability to undo was not implemented on Android.


Most of those things are deliberate restrictions on Apple’s part, rather than technical ones (it is really shitty though).


I’d argue the bigger moral is that you should always own your online identity. You should buy your own domain (@yourname.xyz or something like that) and make your email on that. So if Google bans you, you just switch email providers and keep your address.
