The torrent client can get confused about the authenticity of the files if you make any changes to the files that were downloaded. It can also have trouble finding all the files required for seeding, so moving the needed files to media is a no.

Once the torrent client finishes downloading the files, instead of copying the needed files among them to media's respective folder, we simply make a hardlink to it to save space and to ensure the authenticity of the files in torrents folder such that the torrent client has no trouble seeding the files.

The seeded folder which contains the needed files can also contain media that can potentially confuse Jellyfin such that it shows it; furthermore, less useless files also decreases the scanning time taken by Jellyfin. So instead of directly linking the respective folders in torrents we have a separate and more clean directory for Jellyfin media.

TL;DR: to save space and to ensure your torrent client can keep seeding the files.

I use Prowlarr + Radarr + Sonarr + Jellyfin.

I have /data directory organised like this:

/data
├── media
│   ├── books
│   ├── movies
│   ├── music
│   └── tv
└── torrents
    ├── books
    ├── movies
    ├── music
    └── tv

Files added from Sonarr goes to torrents/tv and that for Radarr torrents/movies. Once the torrent client has downloaded the files, Sonarr and Radarr hardlinks the needed files to media's respective folders. I have set media/tv for shows and media/movies for movies on Jellyfin. Everything is automated, I love it.

It is sad that the only time they are going to do something for disabled people is when they need to profit from them. They did nothing for them all this time; they were forced to use third party applications.

I can see that being an issue and a flaw. I think if everybody focuses on a solution, we can surely do something about it.

Second option is difficult because there are too many instances. It is difficult to make good use of the funds as the popular instances will eventually enjoy too much profit whilst the smaller instances will be forced to shutdown due to lack of funds. This will lessen the decentralisation overtime.

The solution is a central service, something like Lemmy Fund Management or something, which regulates the funds accordingly. The managers will be selected by voting system (democracy). There are other solutions as well.

Zuckerberg can be an moron from a privacy perspective, but he sure does seem to respect stability.

Just so you know, there is a desktop client of Signal for all major systems:

I haven't used Skype, but depending on use case, Signal might work.

I have met a few Gujratis online—they say that a large portion of the new generation occasionally tries non-veg, but they never admit it to others out of peer pressure.

Sync isn't going to be FOSS, so no, there is no competition, IMO.
