iknowwhatyoudownload.com is pretty unreliable. It lists some torrents downloaded from that IP and then likes to add some torrents (mostly porn in my experience). I've tested this with many connections over the years, and it's not just sharing/rotating IP addresses that triggers this.

(My use case for iknowwhatyoudownload.com is mostly to see what public torrents other people have in their seedboxes.)

Also, I wouldn't worry too much in Germany unless you're downloading the latest YTS release or something. There are a few horror stories out there about being sued, but they are mostly exaggerated and not recent. That said, your setup sounds very solid and you should still use a VPN.

You could embed the videos via WebTorrent and simply seed the torrents from elsewhere.

Webtorrents can simply be played in the browser, there is an example on their website.

Better publish the torrents elsewhere, so that you have more peers. Use a VPN or a seedbox provider (those ignore DMCAs for the most part) to seed yourself.

In uBlock Origin activate the filterlist EasyList – Social Widgets to remove those.

Interesting collection.
Some notes:

  • There are two nyaa proxies pages listed. nyaa.si is the actual "official" one. There has been malware in the past on nyaa proxies.
  • sunxdcc is being fazed out. The same developer made a new search engine skullxdcc.com
  • btdig.com is another highly capable dht crawler that could be added to the "Torrent Site" section.
  • Kickass torrents is long, long dead the remaining sites are sketchy copy cats.
  • kinozal requires sign-up; would probably good to note in the right hand column.
  • irc.undernet.org/bookz and irc.irchighway.net/ebooks are XDCC servers for ebooks
  • I don't know if this would fit the DDL sites category, but some phenomenal ebook sites are: annas-archive.org, libgen.is, libgen.li and z-library.sk

It's also an odd choice to put the predbs at the top, since that's probably the category that people are least interested in, in my estimation.

Okay, this was harder than anticipated. Maybe someone can find an easier solution:

Go to the video you want to download, open the DevTools in your browser (F12 in Firefox), go to Network (you might need to reload the page), play the video. In the search bar under Network type in .m3u8. You'll get a file likely named master.m3u8. Right-click on it 'Copy value' than 'Copy url'. Paste this in the following yt-dlp command:

yt-dlp \
  --add-header "Referer: https://vidmoly.to/" \
  "https://paste-url-here.to/master.m3u8"

This should download the video.
If you want the subtitles, search for .vtt instead (you might need to select the desired subtitles in the player first). You can directly open the subtile file and download it.

I really hope someone can give you an easier solution.
Don't hesitate to ask further questions!

Some backgroundThe the website is not supported and the generic downloader from yt-dlp doesn't work, hence the need for the m3u8 playlist. Their primary video host seems to be vidmoly, which I found that under the Request Headers.
BTW vidmoly as a standalone website is also not supported in yt-dlp with the hilarious reason:

This site looks like it is primarily used for piracy and therefore cannot be supported.

This comic is indeed by oppressive silence comics by Ethan Vincent.
He seems to have disappeared from the internet in mid-2018. This comic titled draw seems to have been his second to last published comic.

Archived link to his website.

This seems like a bit of a scam:
On your external drives you can prevent the creation of .DS_Store

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteUSBStores -bool true

If you really want to continuously delete DS_Store from both your internal and external hard drives you can set up a cronjob:

15 1 * * * root find / -name '.DS_Store' -type f -delete

You can add .DS Store in your global gitignore at ~/config/git/ignore

FMHY is awesome, you can find links to pretty much anything there (torrent sites, DDL, guides, etc).
And unlike most other link collection sites, it is actively maintained.

There is one trangender NPC in the main series of Pokémon games:
She's pretty explicitly trans in the Japanese version and heavily implied to be trans in the English version.
Sadly, the implication is removed in the Korean and German versions.
