Jackett can be run on any computer. It doesn’t need a server or any serious hardware. It can probably be run on a $20 Pi. It’s just allows you to interact with trackers via API calls.

I use Prowlarr via Docker now a days. It’s provides a much better experience to interact with othe instances of ARRs.

I would just keep my PC on 24/7. Did that for a good decade before I built a server. Now the ARR stacks make torrenting on private sites effortless.

Bernie is too liberal for all those big donors who pump up the Democrats via Super PACs. He might get in the way of them profiting off the American people. Bernie would have been the best choice for this country at beating back the MAGA movement before it became what we have now.

Running qBittorrent over web UI was a game changer. I was running it off a personal PC for the longest time (usually my newest gaming machine) but finally built a dedicated server.

Whose ready for some AOL ultimate Frisbee?

To answer the question, I don’t think they should be used for anything. Keep a small stack for a rainy day and get rid of the rest. There is a reason they are all it thrift stores and being given away for free. Their are much better alternatives out their for storage. Unless you are a hoarder. Then, just add them to your pile of crap you will never use/need again.

I have burned thousands of CD/DVDs in my life but maybe only 10 in the past 15 years or so.

It’s state sponsored capitalism and China has pumped a ton of money into BYD to get them to where they are.

I can see them giving larger tax breaks to companies in the US, but current administration is all in on tariffs as the way to increase our domestic production. It doesn’t make ours any better or cheaper, just everything else more expensive.
