In a world with safe P2P via VPN and I2P, why would you use a pigeon? Then you never have to leave your house...or perhaps more importantly, you won't need to feed potentially hundreds of carrier pigeons and clean their cages.

At that point, why waste time with the pigeons? You have to meet anyway, just make it a data exchange instead and skip the pigeons completely. That also eliminates risk of packet loss with pigeons never arriving.
People seem to always forget, that pigeons only know their way home. So you still need to get your pigeon(s) to the person sending the data with the pigeon back to you, in which case you can just pickup the data now that you're there yourself.
It would just result in them having official and unofficial devices, where all the things they don't want linked to their person, political party or public knowledge is on a different device that isn't going to get caught in the FOIA requests.
"Obscure Maltese movie" is ridiculously generic and impossible to identify anything from. Perhaps if you supplied some context of the movie, the plot or something?
This doesn't work. I can correctly identify the show using anilist and anidb IDs, but when I refresh metadata JF deletes the IDs, replaces them with a wrong tvdb one and pulls the wrong metadata.
Ive tried a million times to identify the show using anilist and anidb IDs, and it will correctly identify it, I have the season folder as season 19. But every single time I try to update the metadata, JF messes it up and ignores the identification I just manually made erasing the anilist and anidb IDs and replacing it with a wrong one and subsequently pulling the wrong metadata. It's infuriating.
Hmm, they're not easily available in the EU it seems.
Also a US based company, if that matters to you.
I would consider that a downside TBH, but it's hard to avoid unfortunately.
I've done this multiple times already, it still does not populate with correct metadata. I can identify it as the correct show, but when JF rescans my library, it messes the identification up again.
What would you recommend as a replacement with same level of novice-friendly UI/setup? I was looking to go down that route specifically because it seems like an easy way to get a solid network setup without being a network pro.
Why can't the Japanese just be normal people and arrange things in a predictable and consistent manner...
It's completely unenforceable though...
But even if it was, just use direct encrypted file transfers. Your ISP can't detect anything illegal there.
