Would love to find old Canadian sketch comedy. CBC doesn't release much in the way of physical media. Thankfully, most if not all of Red Green is on youtube, but the vast majority of Royal Canadian Air Farce, Wayne & Shuster, 22 Minutes, etc is rotting away in the CBC archives. Maybe there's a couple episodes here and there on archive.org but there are zero torrents.

Doesn't quite vibe with the post, but with the title: More industrial software and operators manuals and stuff. I'm honestly having a hell of a time finding them.

Not always, but occasionally I have issues with playing a video and the language not being my preferred (English). Either the video doesn't have English audio or it's not the default. Not a biggie but it can waste some time if there's no talking for the first few min and my family isn't used to navigating audio settings.

Some kind of watch list feature for Jellyfin.

Or, a self-hosted universal watch list for both Jellyfin and any platforms I may use from time-to-time. In the past I've resorted to compiling a massive table, but now I just have an account on JustWatch. Obviously doesn't show me anything from Jellyfin, though.

Other than that, I feel like we need to teach others how to pirate themselves. I'm often the one that friends and family come to to get books, streaming links, software, etc. Its surprising how little people understand how torrenting actually works at a fundamental level.

I want self-sovereign identity. I want to control who gets what information about me from my ID, and how that data is hosted. I'm aware that there are some really hostile attitudes about blockchain, but I'd like if a public blockchain could be used to host the information, so that the identity info could be decentralized and decoupled from any given provider.

I want control of my digital identity back, dammit.

postscript someone kindly pointed out this is c/piracy, not c/privacy, which I thought it was. Off topic; my bad.

Torrent search engine would be a great start, similar like qbittorrent search plugins

Some equivalent to *arr services for IRC dcc'ing, lol. I just prefer dcc'ing over torrents, but it's a hassle to manually do it..

I need a server to start again.

The ability to financially support those one would leech off of (both bandwidth & sourcing)... Nothing mandatory, but perhaps being able to post a bounty for particular hard-to-find material, or for someone to seed a dead torrent.
