nevermind, I is stupid and can’t read. thanks for all the hard work dbz0

wait so are we moving this instance to a new website or am I correct in understanding that the instance stays the same its just hosted on a new provider?

I fear for the day that Something Happens to Vimm’s lair. Such a great resource

awesome, thanks for letting me know. I’m definitely just going to try to use plex then. While I’m decent with hardware and a little with software, I don’t know networking from adam’s cat and I don’t want to open up my family’s network to issues. Thanks for letting me know!

awesome, I will definitely just use plex then. Thanks!

IIRC, some things with plex are free, but is that feature specifically? or is it a paid extra?

awesome, is this the same kind of concept as direct downloads or more along the possible legal trouble lines of torrenting?

why is exposing ports a bad thing? would it open me up for legal trouble or just make it to where some rando can watch whatever I have on the jellyfin? or does it make it where some rando can access any device I have connected to my network?

Also what’s the safest/cheapest/possible free(?) VPN you can use to torrent? Thinking about doing that as Direct Download, while nice and more safe, can definitely be time consuming

sorry, I may just be absolutely retarded, but how exactly do you download things from this link? I can’t figure it out after navigating around the site for a little bit- after searching for something and finding it, it looks like there’s a link but anytime I click it it doesn’t do anything

is it possible to easily setup a way for your jellyfin server to be used outside of your house? For instance, if I wanted to let my grandfather use it with the rokus from his house, or if I wanted to leave the server at my house and still use it from college, could this be done fairly easily without too much trouble?

Or would this be an issue legal wise or difficult to code/network somehow?

a lemming?

yeah there are a few things, I still have reddit for, such as gun based subs and some comic book circle jerk pages. Mainly the gun stuff.

Other than that I pretty much only use this site. I probably need to take advantage of the reddit thing to leave behind these kind of forums in general and break my addiction

I enjoy being able to make posts/comments/whatever and actually respond and get responses. And everyone actually interacts! It’s great!

amen. I just discovered AV1 so that seems cool as far as space saving goes

sure, but in the spirit of objectivity, you realize that you can just boot a pc into big picture mode and its ready to be used entirely from the couch right? All you have to do is press the power button on your pc and its ready to go

how hard was it to do a plex server? did you just use an old pc or what did you use as the host?

you realize you can use pc from a couch too right? That’s what I do fr fr, have it connected to my desk and my tv so I just switch inputs and I’m off to the races

similar boat- graduated middle school, high school, and undergrad of college, and working on my master’s now. I’ll be married and have kids by the time the game comes out, if the world hasn’t ended by then

happened with me and new vegas. I did it in the spring of 2021 and did everything but the dlcs and the final confrontation at hoover damn.

Started Dead Money, hated it, and quit it and started old world blues. After this I was burnt out so I just stopped playing NV, and wanting to come back recently I tried to resume in the DLC.

I have no idea what the hell is going on so I have no idea if I’m going to continue where I left off or start the game over, only to miss the DLC content again when I inevitably get bored after the main game

Having to either constantly tap x to run/ride on horse or otherwise having to hold buttons down to pick things up or open drawers sucks and makes everything tedious

hey this maybe a stupid question but I’ve always wondered- if there are any discrepancies between this megathread and the megathread of the gaming piracy sub, which one should I trust?

oh nice, thanks for letting me know!

Do we know if the gaming stuff on this instance and FMHY are the same as the ones on the gaming subreddit? Also, are they all safe still?

it is not. I would love to do a raspberry pi setup but I can’t find anywhere that either a) has them in stock or b)has them in stock and doesn’t charge an arm and a leg.

I really appreciate it though, I’ll definitely check this out for some of my series that I don’t need in 4k

As a further question to OP’s above- does anyone have any recommendations for sites that have movies/tv that are in decent quality (1080p) but aren’t necessarily blu ray quality so that I can fit more on a HDD? For instance, I want to download certain films in 4k that I absolutely love but for stuff that I’m indifferent on or I don’t need to be in 4k (sitcoms like the office) I want them to take as little space as possible

you say that midrange tech is good these days so I have to ask- i’m about to replace my old iPhone SE, and I’m thinking about going the android route.

i’m looking at the Google pixels, and I wonder if I should get the 7A or seven pro. The seven pro is only like eight dollars a month more, so if its worth it I would choose that

Will the megathread here continue to be updated, even if we go back to reddit? So that its the exact same as reddit where when sites are shown to have viruses they will be removed?

Also, do we know if the pirated games sub Reddit is going to make their own instance? or do we need to just look at FMHY and Piracy for it?
