As far as I followed this whole ordeal, his use of ai was maybe 20% of what went wrong with this project. Open contempt for FOSS principles and his contributors, a unilateral (and probably illegal) change in license, Discord censorship, API gatekeeping and disingenuous monetization, along with a general dishonest communicationwere probably more of a nail in this coffin then the use of ai code assistance

FX File Manager still has the best ui in my opinion and supports a range of network access methods

Qed

Lol, and that is such a mild form of criticism… To nuke their whole Discord over it. On the other hand, I guess nothing of value was lost

Sure, you’re not behind CGNAT?

Mostly became because Clint already is in love with someone

And I’m sure if your ISP kicked you, that would still work…

Yeah, what’s there to sneer at if your ISP is trash. Good on OP for still finding a way

Is that a ‘pop’ I am hearing in the distance?

Im in germany, so that wouldn’t be an issue, but they only have stuff from the Öffentlich Rechtliche (German PBS)

Yeah, but German trackers are notoriously hard to get into and since I get most of my stuff via OCHs, I don’t have a track record to apply for one

They have their own streaming service called RTL+, I had hoped to find a source fro content ripped from there

No, I haven’t. Had no idea they covered stuff like that. Thanks, I’ll have a look

Having parsed HTML before (or tried to) I’m not sure if that was sarcasm :D

Ok, so from xdcc.rocks, xdcc.eu and skuldxcc.com only xdcc.eu doesn’t return its search results as json. For that one I’ll have to find a way to parse an html table :D

Yeah, probably will have to build some parser to use whatever I get from their endpoints. And so far I haven’t added authentication for servers that need it, so thats also on the to do list :D

I’m looking more for a generic approach, so users can register any search engine of their choice (as long as it returns a json result set I guess)

Thanks. I built it mostly for subsplease anime releases and just recently learned that there are actual search engines for this, so I’m currently looking into adding an option to integrate search engines of choice

Oh wow, an xdcc post, let me use the rare opportunity to plug my project: https://github.com/MaggiWuerze/xddcwebloader

That’s what I do as well. My wife is a teacher and has already trashed heaps of paper handouts she kept for copying. It’s all digitzed now and she had a a von client on her devices so she can access it from school
