Pirate and chill
My wife pays for a streaming service. I never find anything on it.
Sure. Is your VPN on?
In this house we use Plex
Looking closer at the image, I’m going with “in this house we use single sideband.” (But, as a Plex user, I love yours too.)
Watching my torrents over SSTV
Plex is pretty awesome, ngl. I always wanted to try jellyfin since paywall and all but since most people wont donate to open source to save their own lives, I really cant blame them.
I run both Plex and Jellyfin. I always watch my videos with subtitles and for that reason Jellyfin is still unusable for me. Subtitles are too big on one platform but too small on another. Size adjustment is broken. No Subtitle delay adjustment. Downloading subtitles is an external process.
I still use it for an occasional video that needs transcoding, but it really needs to fix subtitles before I can ditch Plex. There are other minor issues with JF over Plex, but they are not dealbreakers.Thanks for mentioning this. I recently switched to kodi for my tv setup and it works well with plex. I wonder if jellyfin would work with it. I might try it.
Yet Jellyfin has no financial issues and even asked people to stop donating to them but to support other projects instead.
I went with Emby after I started having concerns with privacy on Plex. I have a lifetime sub of Plex and used it for like 8 or 9 years, but I really dislike that they would send emails to users about stats of who watches what, etc.
I would have gone Jellyfin too, but Emby has a cloud connect setup for easy server switching, and I wanted the LDAP plugin among many other plugins available.
I thought that was against the fediverse laws.
The FOSS commandos will be at their house shortly
ye olde AM radio torrent and chill
It’s actually a fancy PC case
Jokes on you I’m into that
Ah yes, searching for torrents in radio frequencies
…duh, Radarr…
What is radio but different a wavelength wireless network?
The radio is obviously for updating jellyfin. All’s good.
Anti-ISP torrent detection technology
The radio was part of the template
If this is how I find out I need to update my jellyfin I’m going to be sad
Who uses torrents when there is usenet, sonarr and radarr.
im lazy and don’t wanna pay for usenet, torrents are great
Usenet is the way but I’ve never witnessed someone who torrents see the light in a penny comment thread. Few people truly understand opsec and how to quantify their own risk surface, but those who do will gravitate towards Usenet.
Speed is also a factor. Casuals don’t understand what it is to grab a release before a torrent has found the first seeder.
Many don’t know about usenet. When you only download using torrents and don’t know anything else, you might look into it after reading something about it here. It’s how I found sonarr and radarr, by reading about it on reddit.
About the speed: Oh, that’s such a difference. I download with roughly 100MB/s constantly, which is the max write speed of my drives (1000mb/s connection). I’ve never reached anything like that with torrents.
New movie? Sure. Let’s download the 46GB version. 10min later and it’s downloaded, extracted, renamed, put in the right folder, added to Kodi ready to watch, including subtitles.
To me usenet is a no-brainer.
Why pay for usenet access when my ISP gives me the same upload as I have download and I’m not using it for anything else?
Because paying for usenet means paying for privacy rights. Next to that, law enforcements are actively hunting uploaders, not downloaders. Usenet is much faster. Constant uploading is less energy efficient as it requires more pc power (especially when uploading loads of data) so it costs you more power, slows your pc, keeps your hard drives actively running which wears them down (as I imagine you don’t have 32TB in SSD). With torrents you need to keep them uploading to get ratio on the closed community sites, so it takes up much more drive capacity. On open sites you get loads of viruses and other junk. I use my upload speed for friends to stream the content from my NAS instead. I got free vpn with my usenet account, for the price of a vpn account so I pay as much as you downloading torrents, if not less, assuming you’re smart enough to have a paid vpn subscription. And this vpn is on top of SSL for extra privacy.
Usenet is better in so many ways.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but downloading is not actionable for the studios. Only distribution is. If you only ever download there is nothing they can do.
I think there’s no hard rules. I think in Australia, with the Dallas Buyers Club fiasco, the judge said a fair compensation for pirating a copy of the film was the price of the DVD, but because the studio were trying to sue a single individual for millions they threw the case out.
As far as know there is no precedent for piracy punishments on individuals. The best they can do is ask your ISP to send you a strongly worded letter.
I don’t want to get in the way of your argument re. Usenet, but spinning hard drives will last longer if they stay on. Starting and stopping the spindle motor will impart the greatest wear. As long as you have the thermals managed, a spinning disk is a happy disk.
Sonarr and radarr works just as well with torrents.
There’s just very few public trackers that work anymore.
I seem to have more than a handful that still work without issues. I only need my private trackers to fins old or special things. Anything recently released is readily available and sonarr/radarr finds it.
Don’t use public trackers.
I know this person and, honestly, it’s a thing of majesty. These discs have presence, heft, and are valuable. They’re collectors items on some level - every last one of them. So what if we’re watching “Jaws” or “Aliens” for the 400th time. We’re having a real, visceral experience here.
I’m exaggerating here, I only have about 200 laserdiscs. That’s just a portion of my physical media collection. But I do really enjoy them. My toddler calls them “big movies” and we’ve watched Bambi I don’t know how many times. And hell yeah, Jaws and Aliens! I have the Criterion release of Silence of the Lambs, and that has also gotten a lot of play time.
As much as I love the tanginess of your meme, your username has earned you a permablock.
stay angry!
I literally have no medical alternative!
Friendly reminder that i2p exists and that you can torrent your cat videos without exposing yourself to your dog loving isp.
More info can be found here: https://lemmy.world/c/i2p
is a VPN (mullvad in my case) not good enough?
Depending on your threat model you’re almost certainly fine.
it is. that’s just a different way to protect yourself.
A service brought you by a human (usually I see bots do this): !i2p@lemmy.world
Its so you can stay on your instance and your viewer.
TIL, appreciate it
I’m in this picture and I love it
“whatever pirate site feels like working today and chill” rolls right off the tongue
nyaa(.si) and chill
Not to be a buzzkill, but lemmy.world has a rule against posting links (even obfuscated links) to pirate sites. You may want to edit that post to at least remove the TLD.
*arr stack and chill
I call all pirate websites Pirate Bay. It’s easier.
“High seas” if I want ppl to understand me, but “the soft/open meadows of the internet” is how I feel about the great library community.
I refer to them all as ‘The Library’.
Did you know you can borrow movies, books, music, and TV shows from The Library? It’s awesome!
Ah, I work in an actual library, so that would get confusing.
