Yeah I think it was a fluke, apparently the scammer hit multiple people

They bought a car on eBay from a scammer using a loan. They never got the car they still had the loan.

I dont think its the best way to get at their money but if they continue to get vandalized and ppl either sell them (flooding used market) or don't buy them, the stock price might return to normal amount. I'm not advocating for that but it seems like a solution

Any alternative solutions for affecting a wealthy persons money?

I agree with you that its an issue, but surely you see that its a part of human nature to experience some kind of validation when a person / group learns a lesson they could have not learned the hard way by listening or reasoning. The whole leopards eating face thing.

I dont think its a beautiful part of human psychology but I think its hard to overcome especially when emotions are already high.

I personally find it sad, but I believe just like in 2016 there's a bunch of aggressive social media manipulation going on and I see it as people being scammed into believing something in contradiction to their own self interest.. And much like an elderly person scammed into handing over money I find it really sad.

I hope those two start taking more young actually left leaning politicians (or even would-be politicians) under their wing and publicly endorsing them.

Did you change your OS?

 

I have been torrenting the same primitive way for a long time. Turn on a VPN, open up a browser I only use for this purpose, go to tpb or yts, grab my movie, and shut it all down when the movies over.

I've only updated my torrent client in this time, the method has not evolved.

Now im interested in self hosting jellyfin with an arr stack, with the end goal being to share it with friends and family outside my lan. I'd like to use docker containers so its all containerized, and of course keep it safe and secure.

What kind of set up, from hardware to software, would you recommend to get this going? Any guides in particular? I'm especially iffy on allowing remote access for non-tech savvy family (like a roku app), so any tips/guide recs for that would be helpful.

I've been searching around some and I've found a lot of resources but I'd like to get the opinions of people in here before diving in.

I have some beginner questions, for example: if I have the arr stack running in docker with a vpn, can I browse the internet non-anonymously on that same machine without compromising identifying details, assuming qbittorrent is configured to only move traffic through a VPN? (I'm wondering if I need a dedicated piece of hardware to run everything safely)

Tldr: Suggestions or guides for beginner setting up jellyfin/arr/ remote access for family?

 

Title. It occurred to me that despite not wanting to support musk or some other American businesses because of their recent change in policies, I'm still holding a stake in those companies.

This assumes the people in the red States would see the chain of causation, which is unlikely.

It will create an enemy out of the taxing countries. I dont have a better idea but at this point his base will never turn from him.
