I think the error is quite verbose and tells you everything you need to know.

Generally, do not install packages outside of a virtual environment unless you know what you're doing. Given the option, use your package manager version of the same package. Outside of that, use your python environment manager of choice to install stuff. There are lots of options: conda, uv, venv, virtualenv, pipenv, etc.

The error exists to warn you that you could potentially break critical system installed packages by installing other things at a user or system level with pip.

Mullvad offers DoH and DoT, why not set firefox to use that as well?

In terms of search results, ddg sometimes will find very specific searches better and has more bells and whistles. I still prefer SearXNG, and have been using my instance almost exclusively since setting it up.

Every time this happens to me, the clerk/cashier just shrugs and is like, "okay". They get it, but are obligated to try anyway. The best you can do is be polite.

Note that Yandex has an aggressive captcha, so it doesn't really work with SearXNG in its current state. Tested a couple weeks ago.

You might consider trying Miniconda, a version of Anaconda. It installs a local python environment of your choosing at a user level. https://docs.anaconda.com/miniconda/

I don't know how safe this is, but what I do:

  1. Make a local XMR wallet, backup, and host your own blockchain
  2. Buy regular crypto, say LTC, from a legit exchange with KYC
  3. Swap that to XMR on an anon swap/exchange, storing in your wallet 3 (optional). Move from your first wallet to another, for extra safety???

Spend it where you can, not many places. BTCPay server, which can be self-hosted, supports it, so there are options.

I think it'll happen at some point, nearly always does. I have one locked on an exploitable version and it works great, I think there's a lot of potential for emulation and homebrew if it opens up more.

OPS, rutracker, or I ask someone to check RED for me.

Aside from what has been posted already, the vast majority of good P2P groups only release on private trackers, some with notices to not repost publicly. There is a massive collection of quality content that is either not available on publics or completely dead and forgotten.

I've been working on this subtitle archive project for some time. It is a Postgres database along with a CLI and API application allowing you to easily extract the subs you want. It is primarily intended for encoders or people with large libraries, but anyone can use it!

PGSub is composed from three dumps:

  • opensubtitles.org.Actually.Open.Edition.2022.07.25
  • Subscene V2 (prior to shutdown)
  • Gnome's Hut of Subs (as of 2024-04)

As such, it is a good resource for films and series up to around 2022.

Some stats (copied from README):

  • Out of 9,503,730 files originally obtained from dumps, 9,500,355 (99.96%) were inserted into the database.
  • Out of the 9,500,355 inserted, 8,389,369 (88.31%) are matched with a film or series.
  • There are 154,737 unique films or series represented, though note the lines get a bit hazy when considering TV movies, specials, and so forth. 133,780 are films, 20,957 are series.
  • 93 languages are represented, with a special '00' language indicating a .mks file with multiple languages present.
  • 55% of matched items have a FPS value present.

Once imported, the recommended way to access it is via the CLI application. The CLI and API can be compiled on Windows and Linux (and maybe Mac), and there also pre-built binaries available.

The database dump is distributed via torrent (if it doesn't work for you, let me know), which you can find in the repo. It is ~243 GiB compressed, and uses a little under 300 GiB of table space once imported.

For a limited time I will devote some resources to bug-fixing the applications, or perhaps adding some small QoL improvements. But, of course, you can always fork them or make or own if they don't suit you.
