Cloudflare's CAPTCHA is Turnstile. I've found it very useful. It doesn't use pick the image or type the text, it's just tick the box. You can even set it to invisible, then the user doesn't need to even do that, the challenge is sent to the browser and is completed automatically.

In terms of privacy, it's is still Cloudflare, but at least it's not intrusive to the user experience.

Cloudflare's Turnstile has an invisible mode that you're probably using in a lot of places and aren't aware of it. It provides an invisible challenge to the browser and requires no interaction. I would say no input require in quite user-friendly.

I've started using Hoarder and am enjoying it. I really like the page caching and automatic AI tagging so that I don't have to.

Yes, both SL and addy.io have the feature to enable/disable individual addresses.

They both will automatically create an address on-the-fly. Give a service [email protected] and it will automatically be generated and sent to your mailbox of choice.

First purchase a domain. Cloudflare is definitely the cheapest but there are other options out there if you don't want to use Cloudflare.

Use an alias service like SimpleLogin or addy.io. addy.io has a cheaper 'lite' (limited) plan, SL has a cheaper 'premium' (unlimited) plan.

My Prowler stats over the last 90 days are ~1600 usenet grabs vs ~40 torrents. Definitely worth it not have to seed and constant gigabit speed.

I have run Jellyfin for about 3 years. Plex has a lot of community support and praise so I spun up a test instance. Unfortunately for Jellyfin, Plex is much most reliable for me in pretty much every way. I would love for Jellyfin to keep improving but the switch to Plex just made the media experience so much nicer.

The tiers are vulnerable, weak and strong. Change the vulnerable ones first then the weak passwords

Proton defines Strong as at least 75 bits of entropy and over 100 bits is recommended. May have soemthing to do with that

You can but you don't need to. All they really do is organise everything. Any requests go through Prowlarr/Jackett which do the API calls then push that to qBit. One could argue you should put Prowlarr behind a VPN as well but it depends on the trackers you have in there.

I've really been liking Tidal. It has a fair shake of Aussie artists and has a radio feature that feels very exploratory. I can go to John Williamson and tap radio and it doesn't feel like it's trying to cram Billboard Top 100 down my throat.
