    fuck streaming services!

    Obviously that means that I just don’t watch movies and just sit in silence doing nothing, because piracy is wrong and immoral!

      Things are so tight that 1 streaming service would be an irresponsible expense for me. $15/month for an expense that can be circumvented if you’re smart, its a no brainer. I feel like society has done more harm to me than any amount of piracy will ever do to them. Where are all these high paying jobs I was promised I could have if I got a degree, huh? I’m worse off now than before I made the decision to go to school. It’s pirated or nothing for me but it’s also more convenient. That enshittified corporate ui shit is slow.

        Well obviously that means that you just have to stay in silence and watch nothing all the time.

        Piracy is wrong and immoral and you should never deprive a billion dollar corporation that’s keeping over 99% of the money the actors and production crew are making

        There are people who understand what I’m saying…then there’s the guy or lady I’m replying to right now.

        By that I mean…PIRACY IS IMMORAL!

          This is the first time I’ve seen anything SDR related on lemmy. Please tell me there’s a community for us somewhere here, that’s one of the few things I still miss from reddit.

              I might do a brief write up on setting up NTSC and PAL broadcasts if there’s any interest. It’s a neat little project to get some life out of an old CRT you might have lying around. Although I don’t believe the RTLSDR has enough bandwidth to fully cover a NTSC stream, but I have seen a write up where someone got it working with some compromises. I found a neat piece of software that uses ffmpeg and even has yt-dlp support and a GUI wrapper for it. I’m actually using it right now to play music videos, with a MTV logo and all. My understanding of antennas is…lackluster. It’s all over coax anyways to avoid any run-ins with the FCC.

                Actually, amateur TV broadcast was something that interested me. I had the opportunity to buy an SDR with wider bandwidth, but I wasn’t sure how much I’d get into it, so I kept things cheap.

                Another thing I’m looking into is ADS-B flight tracking. My house is within range of a sports arena where there are all manner of overhead banners get flown. Might be fun to follow them around on a map.

        Every frame will also have some handwritten info about the radio it was sent with, and possibly a photocopy of some dog in the corner

    I run a samba server with nfo files scrapped straight from themoviedb.

    I use kodi for viewing as it’s easy to install anywhere.

    rtorrent for acquiring material.

      And maybe about a minute or so more - absolutely not because I wanna cause any discomfort, I just need to process the shock & loss (maybe some abatement issues) to be able to physically move away, back home to my def-not-up-to-date Jelly Fino (thats the name of my main instance).

      (Actually I really should update my Jellyfin client on Tizen … or buy a N100 player or something.)
