superorganism: self-replicating seedbox dashboard

See details on this torrentfreak.com story (I'm the responsible professor. AMA).

Has your printer received a DMCA piracy notice? Has your seedbox been cancelled? You feel The Internet is degraded into dystopia? We need to repair The Internet!

Today we release the first open source code for an attack-resilient network of seedboxes. At Delft University of Technology we have been working for years decades to fix The Internet. We are activists driven by cyberpunk, relentlessly not giving up on this faded dream. With your help we will switch millions billions of users away from YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify slop. Our code released today can convert any Creative Commons licensed YouTube video to Bittorrent. Our community seedboxes operate with collective Bitcoin donations.

A server buying another server with Bitcoins and cloning itself is one of our core defence lines against DNS and DMCA attacks. All seedboxes renew themselves every month. They can buy a VPN in Sweden, Iceland or Switzerland autonomously. We worked since 2016 on self-replicating seedboxes, especially the SporeStack API made autonomous buying of VPS hardware more robust. But be warned: this is cutting-edge "Complex Systems Science" and not yet production-level code.

We're not selling you any token, no AI startup, no advertisements, and no vibe code crap. We simply want our Internet back. Please help and check out our open source code. Tribler has proudly been developed by 316 student volunteers for 21 years. We want strategic autonomy for every citizen. Big Tech is investing $1+ trillion in AI enslavement, we aim to nullify that money. Our seedboxes also enable non-profit collaborative AI. We did decentralised AI before it was cool, in 2012.

With a few fresh millions we're now hiring new phds and post-docs, check out our ideas and apply if interested.

hello- I am currently using FTPmanager on my iphone and trying to connect it to my seedbox on rapidseedbox (lean) i have had a lot of success with filezilla on my desktop but i am sick of downloading my files there and then sideloading them onto my iphone. When I try to connect to my seedbox with FTPManager it says "access denied" does anyone know why this might be?

Hey I cant reach my seedbox with HBD and I cant reach their homepage either. Are they gone for good?

I have a server on Whatbox with Plex, rTorrent, Sonarr and Radarr. Whenever Radarr downloads a movie, i see the file in my "files" folder as well as in the "Movies" folder + the entry on the torrent client. If i go to radarr and delete the movie from there checking the option to delete the folder and the file, it still leaves the file in the "files" folder. My understanding was that the files are hardlinked, so deleteing one should remove the other. That also leaves the entry in the torrent client, which is now broken, since the file is no longer there, and should be removed manually.

I feel that i do something wrong and wanted to ask if there's a better way of managing files that doesn't leave extra trash that takes my space.

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to private trackers and have recently joined a few entry-level trackers. My goal is to build ratio while also contributing to the community. I'm planning to get a basic 1-month seedbox to get started.

I've watched a couple of videos on the internet, but I'm still having trouble understanding how to automate my torrent client using RSS feeds from my private trackers, and how to set up Sonarr/Radarr on a seedbox.

Is there a simple, beginner-friendly video or guide that explains everything step by step? I'd really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

I just got an email from USB. Essentially, they're going to monitor files on people's boxes with AI/hashes of known CSAM files etc.

I think that's great. Catch all those bastards and prosecute them!

My issue is that right along with THOSE prohibited materials, they mention piracy under the same terms! Like this (bolded the piracy part):

Prohibited content or activity 5.11.1

CSAM, CSEA, child sexual exploitation, child abuse, grooming, sexual extortion of children, and any related content or activity. 5.11.2

Content or activity that promotes, helps, threatens, or supports terrorism, serious violence, or violent extremism. 5.11.3

Copyright infringement, trademark infringement, piracy, unlawful distribution, unlawful streaming, or any content you have no right to hold, store, download, upload, stream, or share. 5.11.4

IPTV hosting, IPTV sharing, IPTV resale, VOD hosting, VOD sharing, public media streaming, public video libraries, and commercial media access services.

I mean, these guys literally have installers for sonarr/radarr, who are we kidding here?

But I also don't want AI to be scanning this potentially pirated content that may be on my seedbox and linking me to it in the future and degrading my "social credit score" over it lol.

What do you guys think?
