@angristan It's just HTML5 Media Source. YouTube and Netflix have both used it all the time. Heck I'm not even sure if you can override it on Netflix (except HD on/off) without a 3rd party plugin
@b @angristan Netflix refuses to play jack over 480p or 720p depending on your browser under Linux anyways
@b @angristan don't think so. Besides that was only to get it working. The quality stuff relies on other checks afaik. I think it checks for available DRM modules or something.

Edge is the only one where 4K works and only if you also have DRM to your display
@b I currently use a bunch of private torrent trackers. Never quite figured out how to usenet because I don't wanna trust some provider with piping all my downloads since that seems to be how it works from what I could understand
you b you ๐Ÿ˜ง I'll b me @b

@quad usenet was the first "cloud" storage with public sharing

it's the same trust you place into a release 'group'

if torrenting [in US] please find an provider rated on TorrentFreaks

ivpn.net is close to wireline throughput for very high throughput providers

@b I run Medusa+ruTorrent+PrivateTrackers via an OPNSense box. I try to keep public torrents to a minimum. And no, I'm in Norway
@b I do not use a VPN however. Mostly because they generally break port forwarding since I can't control their NAT, which ruins seed performance
@b I use a headless server/VM so I need port forwarding (preferably just a flat out public IP) that would work when used along with an .ovpn file.
@b Yeah but none of them allow me to disable the firewall or NAT most of the time. I've been looking for a while, I want a solution that'll give me VPN connection that I can just tunnel my whole WAN through and then expose my firewall straight to the internet. Because I'm currently behind double-NAT.

If I could finally find a VPN service that:
- Has no NAT
- Has static/dedicated IP
- Has no firewall
- Preferably not too far from Norway because ping

Then I'd be super happy because I could get rid of both my double-NAT hell and also get (somewhat) better privacy. Even though dedicated IP is nowhere near as good privacy-wise as shared IPs
@b The only thing I've found is: https://staticvpnip.com/

But when something has such an oddly specific name and I haven't heard about them anywhere else it feels way too iffy to pipe my whole house via there
@b Also:
>240 GB bandwidth per month

lmao. I use like 2-4 TB of bandwidth per month
@quad @b If I was going to VPN i'd VPN to my own damn servers thank you very much.
@quad @b at least ISPs are big enough to fuck everyone over equally

VPN providers are small, have little if any legal presence, and can easilly run scam ops

ISPs must have PHYSICAL presence in echanges etc. so they can't just disappear
@quad @b IDK I actually tend to trust large companies because I know what their deal is.

A large company just can't and doesn't change tack and screw everyone over because large companies just aren't that maneuverable.
@quad @b a small VPN provider? they can disappear in a day and pop up with a new name and no trace.
@kurisu @b yeah but I'd rather not have a server all the way down in france and getting decent bandwidth near Norway is hard af.

I've considered Hetzner now that they're finally here. But I have no idea if Floating IPs would work properly
