This is what I use. Once you get it working, it’s a great setup. I have it running on my mini HTPC under the hood, and it really doesn’t use much in the way of resources.
It has a webui that I can use to search and add torrents, and you can choose an alternate UI for the page if you want (I used VueTorrent, it looks better on mobile).
And, like others have said, you can bind it so that if your VPN disconnects, torrents won’t just keep running in the background.
Oh God, if anything they’re even worse. Same page, friend.
Housing costs are such a racket.
I feel like part of the insult is also not just with this particular company, but with the industry in general. I worked on the sound side as both production and post, and the amounts that places are willing to pay these engineer roles always seems to be insulting.
But either you take it or leave it, because there’s someone else out there who is desperate enough to work for what they offer. Maybe this isn’t the same across the pond, but it’s sure been my experience here.
A bit somewhere gets flipped from 0 to 1, and the ridiculously complicated program that’s designed to output natural language text says something unexpected.
I know it seems really creepy, but I don’t personally believe there’s any real sentience or intention behind it. Stories about machines and computers saying stuff like this and taking over the world are probably in Gemini’s training data somewhere.
Image removal and AI tools have an overlap, for sure. RemBG is pretty effective, which runs in many of the environments with Stable Diffusion. Bria is a recent improved model for RemBG, which I’ve had some good success with. It’s not perfect, but it cuts out a lot of the work.
Krita is A+.
I’m gonna second Soulseek. It is pretty old, but so many of the people who use it are collectors who organize their collections well, and I’ve found some pretty obscure stuff on there as well.
I haven’t tried it myself, but I want to try Soularr, which apparently lets Lidarr use Soulseek as a source.
