I think the error is quite verbose and tells you everything you need to know.

Generally, do not install packages outside of a virtual environment unless you know what you’re doing. Given the option, use your package manager version of the same package. Outside of that, use your python environment manager of choice to install stuff. There are lots of options: conda, uv, venv, virtualenv, pipenv, etc.

The error exists to warn you that you could potentially break critical system installed packages by installing other things at a user or system level with pip.

You might consider trying Miniconda, a version of Anaconda. It installs a local python environment of your choosing at a user level. https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/

It’s feasible as long as all the stuff you want to auth supports oauth, oidc, or saml. It might be a bit overkill for your use case, unless you have a bunch of services you didn’t mention. Keycloak has a bit of a learning curve, but works great once you get past that.

I think it’ll happen at some point, nearly always does. I have one locked on an exploitable version and it works great, I think there’s a lot of potential for emulation and homebrew if it opens up more.

OPS, rutracker, or I ask someone to check RED for me.

Aside from what has been posted already, the vast majority of good P2P groups only release on private trackers, some with notices to not repost publicly. There is a massive collection of quality content that is either not available on publics or completely dead and forgotten.

A properly muxed mkv will display the resulting audio bitrate. And if you use opusenc, it will embed the encoder settings in the track.

There are a handful of groups putting out what I would consider decent AV1 encodes. A couple PTs allow them, and there are groups on 1337x. Just grab a couple from each tag you can find and see if they meet your needs. Generally speaking, look for groups which note their source, which encoder they are using, and ideally what settings they used in general.

AV1 has come a long way fast, but in my experience a good x265 encode is still better for live action.

I would get a Thinkpad, either used or new, with that budget. Generally all the hardware will work out of the box, with the possible exception of the fingerprint reader if it exists. RAM and SSD should be replaceable, so if you purchase new just do the upgrade yourself to save some bucks.

Private trackers would be your best bet if you don’t know anyone already.

The very brief summary: You need 7 perms on directories to write to them. So, 774, 770, or what have you for user/group perms.

Good question. I chose it initially because it was open source and way easier (in my eyes) than Apache. I don’t recall the others being an option at the time, or I was not aware of them. nginx does what I need without complaint, so I haven’t switched.

Something like radicle?

I imagine that is due to plex cramming in their own streaming option. So the free stuff you see on the default home page (last time I used it). There is a setting in firefox to disable drm playback, but it looks to be a browser-wide choice.

As the other commenter pointed out, that feature does not exist in the webui. Just use mktorrent, torrenttools, or any other utility which will do it.

I have Arch running on an old Acer chromebook, different model but similar hardware. If you’re alright with some manual configuration, then it’s a good option. it fits the lightweight requirement, but not sure about low maintenance.

You should write a post if you do. Would be funny!
