qBittorrent is probably the best torrent client for Windows

~~Mullvad is a relatively cheap and trustworthy VPN provider~~ (they unfortunately removed port forwarding, which is important for torrenting)

AirVPN and Proton VPN are trustworthy VPN providers that support port forwarding

Servarr is the way to go if you want to set up a server that automates everything for you

Jellyfin is the best media server, far ahead of Plex and fully FOSS

FMHY and the Champagne Piracy Wiki have lots of valuable information

A bit of topic but why the hell does the champagne wiki reccomend Edge as a browser citing it's AI capabilities? Is this copied directly from MS marketing material?

Edit: I am starting to read through it and there Is so much bad, outdated and just wrong information there:

  • they recommend to set a DNS level adblocker using an app that isn't supported on the android version the guide is for and completely forget that you can just set the DNS server without any additional app on any modern android version (what is what the provider of the Dns server they recommend reccomends)
  • they tell you protonVPN doesn't support Torrenting (maybe just bad wording) and recommended mullvad because of that

I don't really want to continue beyond before-you-begin

Edit2: Uh why is there an extensive article on how to deal with addiction and how to do meditation in the piracy section?

I don't think I should continue any further

Edit3: you can contribute to the wiki by sending markdown files in a discord channel. Wikipedia should switch to this model as well imo
