  • I know this is a Linux community, but if you’re stuck on Windows for whatever reason still, there is a perfectly viable option.

    Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC.

    There’s ISOs and permanent activation at: massgrave.dev

    It’s basically what Windows should be, and feels like a fresh W7 install. No bloat, no AI, no bullshit. Legit just Edge and Defender, and all telemetry settings can be disabled.

    I use it for my daily driver, then every few weeks or months when I see major updates I’m interested in, I hop onto my CachyOS install. I spend a day or so testing to see if everything feels polished/solid enough for me to ditch Windows.






  • Don’t get too crazy into categorizing your media. Keep it simple with your folders, so Jellyfin can know what the file is then scrape the internet for meta-data.

    Media -> Movies -> Example Movie (year) -> Example.movie.file

    Media -> Shows -> Example Show (year) -> Season 1 -> Example.show.S01E01.file

    Ideally your media downloads will have the name and release year in the folder name already. It knows to ignore or match things like x264, DD.5.1, and release group name.


  • Ohhh, I think I understand now, they can’t connect to jellyfin because that computer has the VPN on. I thought their question was turning on a VPN to connect to Jellyfin outside their house.

    Then yea split tunneling would be a good solution. Set up so only the torrent application uses the VPN. Or that Jellyfin is excluded from the tunnel.

    Unfortunately I’m not too up to date on VPNs and which offer that. Perhaps their network equipment could apply the VPN to only the torrent traffic, and then they match the port number used inside the torrent application’s settings?
