  3. overseerr

    Request management and media discovery tool for the Plex ecosystem

    If you're interested in the discovery or the ease of use part of it, you may be interested in https://github.com/sct/overseerr - it integrates with the mentioned software, and it's beautifully done.

    I have this in combination with *arr stack, and even the non technical family members use it without any issues.

  4. popcorn-desktop

    Popcorn Time is a multi-platform, free software BitTorrent client that includes an integrated media player ( Windows / Mac / Linux ) A Butter-Project Fork

    My code still exists in the desktop source[1] but essentially what you need to do is convert an srt to vtt file and start a local http server that will serve the VTT file and point the Chromecast to that

  5. algo

    Set up a personal VPN in the cloud

    I used Algo to make my own, it builds a VPN server on your host. If you choose to host on digitalocean the script sets everything up via API and you're done in minutes.

  6. gluetun

    VPN client in a thin Docker container for multiple VPN providers, written in Go, and using OpenVPN or Wireguard, DNS over TLS, with a few proxy servers built-in.

    Gluetun has an integrated killswitch: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun

    I used to use https://github.com/dperson/openvpn-client which has a killswitch as well.

    By kill-switch I mean iptables rules that don't let anything out if there's no VPN interface up. So you don't run the risk of leaking torrent stuff through your plain-text connection.

  9. Magnetico

    Discontinued Autonomous (self-hosted) BitTorrent DHT search engine suite.

    I just get a rickroll gif on your link. Did you mean this project?

    "Autonomous (self-hosted) BitTorrent DHT search engine suite."

  10. nebula

    🌌 A network agnostic DHT crawler, monitor, and measurement tool that exposes timely information about DHT networks. (by dennis-tra)

    I also got RR’d when I clicked the other day.

    That repo is archived anyway. Here’s a more modern iteration of the idea: https://github.com/dennis-tra/nebula-crawler
