Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

what interface is that?
Running qBittorrent in headless mode (qbittorrent-nox running on my own server) with VueTorrent skin. This is the view in a browser.
oh, I didn't know the qb web interface can be skinned. is it "just" visuals, or can they also add features?
I think its only adding UI features :). I count mobile friendly view as a feature, thought its only a visual change. The one I use.
Can I get headless qbittorrent if setup currently with docker?
Aslo, you chose a damn large file for Southpark.
I run on bare metal because I'm more comfortable with it that way but I think there's regularly updated containers that do just what you want.
linuxserver/qbittorrentlooks like a good bet.Thanks dude.
Can confirm it works well
75 GB for the whole South Park series doesn't sound like a lot
I guess it depends on preference. When I check in Sonarr the largest file I can see is 35GB but I would have been choosing something around 15GB.
Is the quality 6 times better for the larger one?
Probably not, but I tend to download at a quality where the compression doesn't really feel noticeable
Fair point.
