If you don’t want to bother with this, something a lot of people do is run qBittorrent with Proton in Docker. There are containers that will pipe any changes directly into qBittorrent. The one I use on my media server is from binhex. All self contained and easy to update since it’s Docker.

there’s some guides online on how to do it, you’ll need to edit some configs and also have a Redis docker up.

turn on the limiter and link token, and that’ll stop in SearXNG. this is why most instances don’t work, is they don’t turn on the existing anti-bot measures.

My searxng instance also started getting blocked or something because my queries were failing, especially for images.

your instance has been found by bots. turn on the limiter and link token, and that’ll stop. this is why most instances don’t work, is they don’t turn on the existing anti-bot measures.

find and fetch missing or upgradable media

Sounds like a solution in search of a problem, considering the other Servarr apps already do that.

Please don’t spread misinformation.

it’s not misinformation, you weird little google fanboy.

Also it’s just on certified devices

which is every single major western brand that operates outside of china, and even some that are for that market specifically. you would know that if you had, I don’t know, actually looked at the list of certified devices on google’s own website.

yeah, that’s a whole lot of corporate speak that says absolutely nothing. they wrote two whole paragraphs that promise nothing and don’t back down on their verification plans. and you fell for it, too.

you have no idea what that “advanced flow” means, or what it entails, or even if it will actually be there to begin with, or how long it will be there until they discontinue it.

that’s not backing down at all. they speak of a possible workflow, but they don’t say you’ll be able to install unverified apps. they still say they’ll require it, in fact.

Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices

that’s just it, they’re targeting custom ROMs with this too. the number of security updates for AOSP is being cut by Google in order to make custom ROMs less secure, so that they can then close down the project while claiming it’s to protect users. make no mistake, the end goal here is make everyone who uses Android have to do so on their terms.

it’s why Linux phones being mainstream is an absolute priority.

I know you’re feeling very self-righteous right now, but I hope at some point you can calm down enough to step back and realize this is such a silly thing to be getting so dramatic over.

it’s not really a question of working or not, is it? it’s a question of what words mean. if somebody says why isn’t an orange considered an apple, it’s perfectly normal to say it’s because they’re two different things. you wouldn’t say, “do what works for you, make an apple pie with oranges”, would you?

well at least nobody can say you left Nothing in return.
