Soon to be "Jellyfin & Get it in"
oouuuu maybe it's time for me to decentralize everything.
Because of the layoffs or did I miss something else?
Yeah, just speculation on my part. Layoffs plus all the weird features they've been putting out lately. Better to have an alternative ready in case something happens.
Thank you for giving me a new line I can use to make my fiancée roll her eyes lol
Seed and... seed?
Tor and wh.or.e
Shit I just posted that.
Pilfer and pump.
uTorrent (pronounce micro torrent) and micro…. Nevermind…
Seed and leach that... torrent.
Prices going up? Password hard to share? Embrace tradition. Return to pirate ship.
Unlike some, I never took off my pirate hat. That's been me the whole time.
Except for the whole not being alone thing.
I mixed piracy with s couple of tge larger streaming sites for a while. I'm 99% piracy now. (technically have prime video, but don't watch it)
Netflix, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Google...
The enshittification is going full steam ahead.
Radarr and boneherr
Enshittification and masturbation.
You know what's hotter? Running an automated piracy server using Plex (Or Jellyfin i guess xoxo) and the -arr family of apps on a raspberry Pi so you can pretend you've got a cute little netflix system :^)
Requires slightly more hardware than a pi, but once you get to the double digit terabytes range of storage, you can honestly have a better plex/jellyfin library than Netflix in any one particular country (except maybe the US? I think US netflix has all the good shows and movies that we're missing here in Europe).
Netflix might have more volume, but there's a lot of low quality shit nobody wants to watch, whereas you can just throw literally every blockbuster ever made on just a couple of terabytes at lower quality levels.
Leech and seed.
Hijacking this comment cause more people REALLY need to know about Debrid services, such as Real-Debrid. It "caches" torrents, so anything you want can be downloaded instantly at your connection's maximum bandwidth; no waiting for seeds. And since you're not distributing anything, you don't have to pay for a VPN, either.
EDIT: It's kind of like a seed box, except it's more of a collective seed box. So if at least one user added the torrent before, you can download it immediately.
I have a Gigabit connection and was able to download three different AAA titles, 50+ GB each, play all of them, then decide that I don't like any of them, all within a couple of hours. It's mind-blowing how much faster it is than using a torrent client.
Even better, you can integrate it with your favorite media center app like Plex or Kodi (personally I prefer Stremio for its Netflix-like interface). Now you have every show and film from every streaming platform -- all in one place -- streamed instantly to your TV. I'll never use torrent clients ever again. They take too long.
EDIT: It bothers me that so many people are willing to dismiss Debrid services without even giving them a chance. Here's proof that this is legit -- /r/Piracy megathread on reddit | Video 1 | Video 2 (sorry for the shaky phone video. I just wanted to get this evidence out quickly before people move on to a different thread, and it's kinda difficult to have a steady hand when you're trying to film and click at the same time.)
The "too good to be true" sell and complete lack of detail / pricing on their website is sketchy imo. I'm immediately suspicious of any org that profits off of piracy in such an opaque way
I switched to Deluge from qBittorrent a while ago and I don't even remember what it was that made me switch.
I did the opposite and also can't remember why I did it.
Story of my life.
Did you guys stop for a while then?
Who else kept their Jolly Roger up knowing it’d come to “this” someday?
Deluge and sploosh
I swapped to using Kodi + RealDebrid and it has just been great. Just a miniscule amount of money for an experience that's just as good as regular streaming.
Transmission for life...
Wouldn't the equivalent be some illegal streaming sites?
