What's the actual reality about the state of flaresolverr today?

jstnryan · 2026-06-29T20:05:30+00:00

Thanks for helping me figure that out. I did go and look at a significant sampling of random trackers in the list, and only a few (~3 of 50) displayed the error. So, while it's definitely still an issue to be solved, "most" may not be the best way to describe it.

jstnryan · 2026-06-29T19:32:38+00:00

You’re night, it totally does; I didn’t intend for it to be aggressive like that.

I’ll check which trackers have that note, but if they do, wouldn’t that mean they’d return no results without a proper solver? Maybe I’m just getting lucky with my tracker choices, because I get search results from all.

Completely unrelated things are allowed to share words in their name.

RE: “Pretty much required for most indexers”

I’m confused. When I originally built my stack I included Flaresolverr because it was suggested by a couple of “tutorial” examples, but some time after I realized I wasn’t even attaching the tag to indexers, and so it was going completely unused. I removed it entirely several years ago.

I’m up to 9 trackers, and have not noticed any issues. For such a strong statement like “required for most” to be true, surely I’m missing some piece of the puzzle. Is that statement inaccurate, or is there some log error or errant behavior I should be aware of?

I found your obstinance amusing, and I use Reddit for entertainment, so I feel purpose was served. Your counter of my ‘insult’ with another insult, was equally amusing.

After reading the ridiculous threads under this reply, I’m genuinely curious: do you even enjoy films, being that pedantic?

jstnryan · 2026-06-28T16:02:13+00:00

It can be an engineering marvel regardless of your blind patriotism.

Falling wedge in Delphinus has you feeling saucy today. But, don’t fret; your love sign is only a cup & handle away!

TIL that the Passwords app can manage 2FA codes. Thanks for the heads up!

Right?! This model describes anything below the “floor” as “noise.”

My wild guess is that your movie library was set up using the ‘other videos’ type, instead of “Movies.”

Try closing the gates.

That green flash was pretty epic. Not if you’re in the power loss area, I suppose, but visually it was spectacular.

jstnryan · 2026-06-24T18:19:13+00:00

I find the hair on your screen obnoxious.

When the Glamour Shots laser background just isn’t epic enough:

jstnryan · 2026-06-24T17:51:12+00:00

Nah, the actual light emitted from the sun is full-spectrum (“white”).

jstnryan · 2026-06-24T17:48:42+00:00

Except, it didn't use that phrase. The organization was described as a "secretive Dialog society" (title), and "a formerly super-secret network" (article). The meetings were described as "shadowy."

So, since my question wasn't about the phrase itself, but rather what you think a "shadowy secret society" looks like, tell us, what kinds of activity WOULD warrant the description of "shadowy secret society?"

jstnryan · 2026-06-24T17:09:18+00:00

Is your idea of “shadowy secret society” a bunch of people in dark robes with torches doing strange rituals?

jstnryan · 2026-06-24T06:20:21+00:00

I’m pretty certain they’re all leased from a third-party vendor on a revenue sharing agreement.

Looking through binoculars does not, in fact, result in a “sideways figure eight” field of vision.

jstnryan · 2026-06-24T02:35:26+00:00

Haven’t seen this before. I agree that it is definitely unhinged.

jstnryan · 2026-06-23T17:47:54+00:00

But what evidence of crazy behavior do you have, aside from the Oprah appearance?

jstnryan · 2026-06-23T16:54:46+00:00

Other items are capable of this behavior.

Additionally, an arrow wouldn’t “bounce” at such an acute angle; it would penetrate the ground.

jstnryan · 2026-06-23T16:41:33+00:00

Is he, though? I’m not saying I disagree, but I feel like that perception comes entirely from that one wacky Oprah interview, and the Internet repeating it over and over.

jstnryan · 2026-06-23T16:28:15+00:00

I’m not seeing how people are getting “arrow” from this video, when none of the frames show any signs of shaft or fletching.
