I then search for direct downloads eg google dork and try find an operdir. I usually find it. Its mainly obscure non english stuff that is hard to get or if you need subs for a complete series … its easier to learn the language 😄

Virus total as a minimum for cracks and keygens. Use a vm too or a specific non networked pc for it. Use multiple scanners and distrust if anything flags. Have backups before doing anything.

Thank you for your service o7

One tip i would recommend to OP

Sync a copy of the db. So update on your laptop and copy the db file to the syncthing folder. This stops you phone or other device from accidently messing up your db, not that it has happened to me but it is a possibility with syncing as a concept.

Then just use the db on the phone to access on the go but add/modify entries on the laptop and repeat the process.

It seems tedious but its not.

My workflow is like so

Update / edit the db on the laptop. Run a script to copy the db to the sync folder. This syncs to my phone and server Then treat the phone copy as read only

If i need to make a password on the phone i send it to myself on signal and add it on the laptop to keepass using signal desktop.

This way i have a source of truth plus a distributed copy in multiple locations. The server copy gets inculded in my routine backups too

I personally prefer 720p x264 for movies and SD for shows. I have have rpis and use jellfin web too so x264 plays better with them.

For a few select items ill get better quality at 1080p but these are trying times and disk prices are just going up.

Good to know thanks.

I2p or opendirectories or direct downloads. Id personally opt for i2p as at least you give something back.

That being said a vpn is cheap.

Nice one OP thanks for sharing

Thanks for your reply. What size is the db if you dont mind me asking ? Do you trim the db at all ?
