Well I know the older 2021 models could be flashed with lineageos and the 2023 might also but its not really an ideal OS for a TV and not really optimized but there is nothing really stopping you from enabling debug mode and unlocking the bootloader on it.
I haven't done a deep dive but I know my way around adb and disabled almost all the apps i didn't want and I don't notice any abnormal activity going on when its supposed to be idle for example.
I didn't want to link to or reddit but you can find guides on how to remov what little bloat it does come with.
Onn TV box from walmart is $20
There is also a 15 stick version...
You could find lower end/older devices that will work too but when you can get a new 2023 box that's up to date and not full of bloatware or spyware, why would you want to risk it?
A raspi isnt what id consider low end or cheap in regards to jellyfin, but it will def work fine.
Yt-dlp, just go to the page with your song or playlist and past that into yt-dlp on PC.

I would also suggest prowlarr instead of jackett.
If that's too hard then I think you should consider renting a seedbox that has easy one click install options for all the ARRs.
You could ask the same about "free market" capitalism, it's impossible to have a successful truely capitalists economy too, the US is a mixed economy, China is also a mixed economy... Any future "socialist" based country would still have a mixed economy... The issue is not socialism vs capitalism, it's a question of how much regulation is needed for the economy in order to minimize the suffering of people overall while increasing the average quality of life.
Some things are better handled collectively and with strong regulations; you probably want your heart surgeon to have a medical license, but you also probably don't want to have to give up your house and life savings to get said surgery, you probably don't want the plastic manufacturing company up river from your drinking water to just do what's economically most profitably and dump their waste into the water, but you probably don't want to pay the price for bottled water to nestle every time you turn on the tap either.
Since you're on a reading kick maybe look into some of the past attempted creations of liberatian "utopias" and ask youself why anyone would be foolish enough to think that model might work,
I'd suggest to start: A libertarian walks into a bear.
Yeah my thoughts exactly, I don't see what the problem is here... Are people under the assumption discord is somehow private? What do they think discord themselves are doing with all that data?
So like... Public messages they posed on public servers are being published...and a company other than discord is profiting from this? Oh no! I better be careful what I post on discord... Next thing you know they'll start selling Lemmy data too.
You mostly just have to use your judgment. Sites that steal names probably are just trying to cash in on ads, its not really that they are outright malicious though (not always anyway), and if youre acessing them by using prowlarr as opposed to going to the site in a dedicated tab then you probably have nothing to worry about.
All these clone sites are just using the same feeds and magnet links for sources, they have no original content so if you ad too many your results get cluttered but torrents on them shouldn't be any less safe than tpb or 1337x
Private trackers are always the way to go if you care about quality.
By default I just mean stop paying. You can't get rid of the debt by bankruptcy or anything, you still owe it, but it also doesn't affect peoples credit score as much as many seem to think it does.
