Stremio + RD / torrentio getting WiFi disabled? by JustOneMoreCat in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Oh! I just realized we have a Yolink hub connected to Ethernet, and it's online. So yes, Ethernet is working and WiFi came back online after a router reset. Now I just need to figure out how to make sure this doesn't happen again....

Thanks, we're in the US and use a small local ISP that just serves our general area. I keep this account anonymous so wouldn't give specifics.

hAP ac² router, belongs to the ISP. Unfortunately I don't have an Ethernet cable handy to test with at the moment.

Our WiFi hasn't come back yet so I'm probably an hour away from a really awkward phone call 😮‍💨

New to this, but just set up Stremio on my desktop with a paid Real Debris subscription, and added the Torrentio (along with some other addons).

Worked amazing this morning - watched a new episode of our kids favorite show that we didn't have access to before (~20 min long) flawlessly. BUT when we tried to load the next episode we lost our internet connection. I thought it was a fluke, but our ISP is pretty reliable and it just happened again. Tried to load a show, it was slow and laggy, then we lost our WiFi.

SO, obviously there's a problem. We aren't on a VPN yet because I read that we didn't need one when using RD, but something is clearly wrong and I don't want to piss our ISP off and lose our service.

I'm not using it of course until we figure it out. I've considered getting Proton VPN and trying with that, but I feel like after two times losing our connection I probably better not make any mistakes. 🫤

Advice please?

UPDATE: Resolved, I think. 🤞 Our WiFi came back after a while, and I made a few changes. I deleted the newer version of Stremio and replaced it with the older stable version, changed DNS to quad9, double checked my Torrentio configuration, and ran it using Proton VPN. It was slow and laggy, but I think that is more to do with WiFi speeds here than anything else. Tried without VPN and it still worked but didn't improve speed.

I've seen them recommended before and had been wondering about finding a trusted server to have it hosted. I'll check out Hetzner, thx!

Sorry to inform you this is real, we apparently are in the timeline where The Onion became reality

Link looks awesome, thanks! Do you also keep a separate cloud backup of your photos in case your server is damaged (like in a disaster or something)?

Once I bounced a check to our water company and they refused to take checks or credit cards from me for a YEAR as a punishment. It was a one-time accident after paying on time for around seven years. I literally had to drive my ass down there with cash. It's a small rural water service, not a big corporation - they chose to be complete assholes even after I explained the situation (we had a baby that month and forgot a monthly $ transfer in the chaos).

Same mistake probably cost us $120 in overdraft fees. Society financially punishes people who need money the most and rewards the people who have plenty. It's ridiculous.

Is raspberry pi pretty easy to set up? Or if you were starting over would you go with something else? I have a windows laptop and an android phone, so that's the extent of what I'm familiar with so far. But Immich does look so promising!

One of these days I'll have the bandwidth to learn about self-hosting. It seems like there's some real benefits and cool stuff out there. For now, I have a toddler taking up most of said bandwidth as well as copious amounts of photo space 😅

Slowly but surely trying to de google my life, but Google Photos is a hard one. I have a kid and seven pets, and I've come to rely on Google Photo's search abilities to actually find anything I want to see in the hot mess of disorganized photos.

I tried a trial of Ente and filled it up to the free limit with pics. It was able to recognize my toddler in THREE photos, no one else. I don't know how many or which photos are backed up because it doesn't seem to show them separate from my un-backed up ones. It doesn't learn to recognize pets as far as I can tell.

I'm too tired to learn to self host just to use Immich, even though I've heard good things, ha.
