From the /c/piracy rules

2. Don’t request invites, trade, sell, or self-promote

You may want to update your post to mention which version of qBittorrent 4.6.0 you're on.

e.g. are you using the build with Libtorrent 1.2.x or Libtorrent 2.0.x?

Libtorrent 2.0.x does tend to use more memory during runtime (especially when you have many actively uploading/downloading torrents) but it's fine overall, the OS / kernel knows to redistribute memory away from qBittorrent to other applications as needed. In other words if nothing is crashing then you should be okay.

That said I've mainly tinkered with Libtorrent 2.0.x clients on Windows (Deluge & qBittorrent) so there might be something I'm missing specific to Linux or Docker. qBittorrent with "Physical memory (RAM) usage limit" set to its max will basically let Libtorrent use as much memory as it likes.. it is lower priority memory so in theory as long as everything else in Windows is working the other applications can still request memory & run properly. Funny enough with Deluge I don't think it even has a RAM usage limit setting so Deluge with Libtorrent 2.0.x will happily use the max memory available to it.

What kind of hellhole is that city? I had an impression it was extremely expensive but also very wealthy. The more I hear the worse it seems.

LOL start reading about Dubai sometime.

Same here.

Hoping they'll offer a better discount + trade in deal later on, maybe Black Friday? Otherwise I may end up skipping the Pixel 8.

TBH my Pixel 7 still works great so it's not a big deal sticking with it but now that I cracked the exterior a nice trade in discount could convince me to upgrade :D

Just to be sure, did you download some strange version of the .iso from some non-official source? Or did you modify your Windows install in some way?

And you're definitely selecting to install Windows 10 Pro, not something else?

I assumed you downloaded the generic .iso direct from Microsoft at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 like most people do. (you can use the browser trick to get the page to give you .iso download options e.g. in Chrome I just hit F12, set the dimensions to something mobile looking, hit F5 to refresh the page, then go ahead & download the .iso)

The generic .iso is indeed a multi with the download option named "Windows 10 (multi-edition ISO)", that itself doesn't affect any of the steps above.

Then just use Rufus or similar to create a bootable USB with it.

LOL I didn't know that works too, good to know :D

Technically you can just click "Domain join instead" to go into the local account creation.

You just need to select to "Domain join instead", there is no need to actually go & set up an actual domain. See my other comment.

Hmm on the last few installs I've done (both Win 10 and 11) I just lead the installation to believe I'll be doing a corporate/domain install & it always lets me create a normal user/password after that. Not necessary to unplug any ethernet/internet or anything of the sort.

It's always worked for me both at work and at home.

Just to be sure, I spun up a virtual machine to install Windows 10 22H2, here are the steps I went through:

1. Boot into the Windows 10 installer, jump into the installer & run through all the initial install steps until we get to the OOBE (Windows 10 out-of-box-experience post installer)
2. Select your Region, click Yes
3. Select your Keyboard Layout, click Yes
4. Skip Second Keyboard Layout (unless you want one)
5. Let it keep going, it might restart (mine did)
6. At the Account screen select Set Up For An Organization then click Next
7. At the "Sign In With Microsoft" screen select "Domain join instead"
8. At the "What name do you want to use?" screen enter your new Windows user account name and click Next
9. At the Password screen enter a password for your Windows user account and click Next
10. Re-enter your password and click Next
11. Set up a security question/answer - Or do like I do & fake them all e.g. select a security question then enter random gibberish alphanumeric text - and click Next
12. (do the same for all 3 security questions)
13. Select your Privacy settings then click Accept
14. Accept or skip any customizations you want (I usually Skip)
15. For Cortana you can click "Not Now" or "Accept" up to you

Done! You now installed Windows 10 Pro without a Microsoft Account.

There weren't any, it was just a troll account that asked admins at a bunch of different Lemmy instances to block anything related to piracy. Lemmy.world admins took the bait. Even in the original announcement they never mentioned anything about dealing with tons of takedown requests. In other words they were blocking piracy related content preemptively before any takedowns occurred.

It's nice they walked back that decision but I'm still not going to create an account there.

I’ve been considering moving to Jellyfin for a while, but I’m worried they will do the same thing in future.

Currently would not be possible. Jellyfin does not have the sort of centralized accounts/logins that Plex does e.g. you're not asking Jellyfin devs for permission to log into your own server. That's just a Plex thing.

If you're asking could they add that "feature" in the future? Highly unlikely but I guess anything is possible. Were that to happen most likely the code would get forked into a new project.

PS - Jellyfin itself is a fork from Emby back when those devs decided to close their source. Myself & tons of other people dropped Emby at that point & migrated to Jellyfin. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/about/

Unfortunately most public torrent indexers tend to restrict ability to upload so it's not quite that straightforward.

There's a few you can investigate, let us know how it goes.

• 1337x - Not sure what their registration requirements are, if any.
• ~~Angie Torrents - They seem to have registration/uploads, unsure of any requirements. (their website isn't great, maybe check out the others before trying here)~~ Might be down?
• BitSearch - Mainly a torrent DHT crawler/indexer but they do offer the ability to add new torrents to their search index (both BitSearch and SolidTorrents)
• Demonoid - I'm pretty sure registered users can upload there, keep an eye on when they open registration.
• GloTorrents - They do have specific uploading requirements so probably not for you but maybe will help others, see their forums https://forums.glodls.to/threads/uploading.5/
• SolidTorrents - Mainly a torrent DHT crawler/indexer but they do offer the ability to add new torrents to their search index (both BitSearch and SolidTorrents)
• The Pirate Bay - They have a manual registration process explained in their forums https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-New-TPB-accounts-available
• TorrentFunk - They seem to have registration/uploads, unsure of any requirements.
• YourBittorrent - They seem to have registration/uploads, unsure of any requirements.
• Ext - They have registration/uploads per https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/3401527

Also note that many of the russian torrent forums do seem to allow registering & posting torrents but am unsure of their specific requirements. Also non-english. (ruTracker, Rutor, etc.)

EDIT: Added Ext

EDIT: Fixed SolidTorrents link, crossed out Angie Torrents for now
