For the past week the site has appeared to be stuck on the Cloudfare security screen. Today I finally noticed it was trying to load the http page, NOT the normal https page. Switched the URL and it loaded right back up... then failed on me again. It turns out that every time you try to search for a torrent, the search bar is directing back to http. You can fix this manually each time you enter a new search, but that gets old real fast.

Hopefully this helps anyone else trying to access the site, I suspect it could be awhile before any of their admins figure out that they broke it again.

I believe the number that's not in parentheses is the actual current number of seeders/peers but the other number idk

Anyone using Mullvad for I-P TV streaming? I'm getting a lot of buffering and lag. Not sure if it's the VPN or something else. Any tips to make the stream faster? Thank you!

Is it good to use mullvad with tor to provide double encryption and to hide tor usage from ISP?

Hey all,

Ever since I updated my Mac to macOS 16 Beta, Mullvad VPN has stopped working properly. The VPN connection appears to establish correctly, but I can’t access any websites or even ping google.com. It’s clearly a DNS issue.

I’ve already confirmed it’s DNS-related because nothing resolves when Mullvad is active. I came across a suggestion to disable FaceTime calls on macOS as a workaround, so I tried that, but unfortunately it didn’t help.

Naturally, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Mullvad, but the issue keeps coming back every time I reboot my Mac. The DNS provided by Mullvad simply doesn’t work consistently on macOS 16 Beta, and it breaks my connection every time.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas for a fix or a DNS workaround that plays nicely with Mullvad on this version of macOS?

Okay, so I’m mostly using public WiFi at home right now so I’ve been using Mullvad VPN. When I use the DNS settings from public WiFi I get that message about the network blocking encrypted DNS traffic, so I changed the settings to a Quad9 setup. This seems to work at first, as Quad9 says it’s connected on their website, and when I turn on Mullvad it says there’s no leaks and the connection is good. Plus I don’t get the message about the network blocking encrypted traffic.

The issue seems to be when I leave home and I cross different networks, and then come back into my WiFi’s reception. The public WiFi rejects my DNS settings when I leave home and come back, so I tried resolving this by customizing Mullvad with my Quad9 DNS settings, to see if they stay binded. Well that doesn’t work either because then Mullvad says I have DNS leaks.

My question is, what are the best DNS settings to use so Mullvad not only stays connected at all times moving between WiFi networks and cellular data, but won’t be rejected once I come back into my home? I know this seems convoluted but I had my banking info stolen a few months back, and I suspect it was from using public WiFi all the time. So that’s why I’m now hyper vigilant about staying private.

I remember years ago I'd buy an external HDD and when I needed it internal I would just strip the case. Can you do that with external SATA 2.5 SSDs?  I need a 2TB (ideally 4TB) to travel around with for a few months and I was just going to put it in a USB3.0 enclosure I have. But I'm seeing such great deals on externals today. I just don't want to get stuck only having it as an external in the future.

And, add on question, does it really matter anymore what brand 2.5 SATA one buys? Must it be Samsung?

Thank you!

I need to add every video in a YouTube channel into a playlist. What's the best way to achieve this?

How do you guys keep up with going through storage really fast?

I love Datahoarding and archiving so much but sometimes it can get rough with the amount of storage that gets used very fast! In the beginning of the year I had 40TB in my Unraid Server then as of yesterday I have 94TB.

I bought three 18TB drives off and on this year from Serverpartdeals since I kept running lower on space from filling them up.

Sometimes I can use up 10-15TB or so in a month on my server.

I love this hobby but damn it's an addiction but I love it....

Edit: It's the hoarding

We’ve had 2 Verbatim drives fail within the last month. Before that, multiple Kingston drives have failed us. I had a Sandisk that lasted a while but also failed after <6 months of usage. The drives are not abused in any way. They go back into a drawer after every backup.

We need something reliable going forward! We’ve been getting recommendations from the employees at Staples/Best Buy, but obviously they don’t know what they’re talking about.

We back up <1gb of data twice a day, every day. We select the option to overwrite the destination drive with the newer version from the hard drive. Not sure if this matters, but thought I would throw it out there in case it does.

What would be the absolute best and most reliable usb drive for us to get? Please include the make, model, and ideally a link if you can. Thank you so much in advance!

Edit to add that we only have regular USB slots on the computers, not the newer USB-C type.

I was looking at DIY nas solutions and hear a lot of people mention Raspberry pi and mini pc solutions but for $20, the Onn 4k android tv box seems like it could have potential right? Has anyone here tried this? Any suggestions or opinions?

Not sure this is the right place for this, for here it goes.

So, I have an EX4100 system with 2x 4TB drives, i have them in JBOD configuration.

I'm honestly confused by several things.

• When i go into the homepage of my local mycloud page, it says '3.65TB free'.
• At the same time, when I look at the actual unit, it's telling me one drive is 95% full.
• Nowhere in the mycloud page there is any mention of either drive being full.
• I ran the TreeSize app and it tells me local folder is 4TB in size.

So, I honestly don't know where to begin. I though a JBOD configuration would spread files randomly between both drives. How is it possible that while i have 2x 4TB, one seems to be 95% full. And that the local device-local interface does not mention this anywhere, I can't see any tool or anything that could help me solve this problem.

Maybe only one drive is being used so far? If that is the case how can i corroborate this?

Thanks!
