Probably my all-time favourite non fiction title. It made me feel part of something bigger than just thinking of my teenage self as some lowly degenerate trawling zero-day torrent sites.

This is my exact setup, but I use premiumize. And I have a Plex server setup for anything obscure. But that’s all too much for a couple of my friends, but they loved movie-web.app

Anybody have any recommendations for my friends who are too lazy/scared to go down the actual piracy route? Movie-web was my goto

I love when articles use “may” to cover the lack of story lol. I “may” get pizza for dinner, but I also likely won’t. Anything’s possible

Why does italy hate piracy so much?

They didn’t say that. They just said it’s better, but didn’t mention their rationale. But IMHO opinion, it being FOSS makes it about a million times better than HEVC alone

Just want to mention Librewolf which is also FF based and has no telemetry out of the box, as well or ublock origin installed by default.

I have a DS918+ with 4x18TB in RAID 5 (47TB usable storage) and a DS923+ with 4x8TB (21TB usable)

My ex’s family were (see: probably still are) Russian Jews who fled to Israel to avoid persecution. They then fled Israel when their eldest (my ex) was 2 years out from manual conscription

Don’t get me wrong, they’re still hardcore zionists, but morality got the better of them.

you’re just a whiny baby whining about baby stuff

Title of my sextape

I started using JustWatch as a means to find which streaming service had the thing I wanted to watch. Then I started using it to track what I had watched. And now that I’m completely moved over to stremio+torrentio I use it to find what’s popular and new.

I’m going to imagine it’s because that cultural abstracted good is then put behind a pay wall, which OP will theb also pirate, thus fulfilling the prophesy.

memory hole

sick turn of phrase, i’m stealing that

besides surprise and bemusement

idk this seems like a pretty good reaction to me

that article reads like if my 8 year old nephew read thru my tax return. But no matter how mozilla spend their money, Google are spending money their money on much more questionable and unethical things.

It works fine on Google tv

It working ‘fine’ is the reason I’ve switched back to Plex for the time being. Too many QoL issues for me personally

pronounced “ten”

Is this real? Is his child whose name is also X pronounced that way? Dude needs to stop naming things that you can’t pronounce by reading them.

also did he bother to change the verb tweet? Or is the brand change as half assed as he is?

not really a striesand effect but I’d never heard of hetzner until plex blocked them and now im heavily considering moving my library over

This is an awesome visualisation, but the subtitle is the best part

aka “THE WHO’S FUCKING WHO”

can also look into haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

it’s transmission that won’t run unless it’s connected to the VPN

In one unit? Or between a few? I have ~48TB in one and ~25TB in another

well with premiumize it’s even better :) they cache usenet and DDL links too. I’ve had way more success with obscure titles on there than i did with realdebrid

As for remote access, I have a separate machine running alpine with wireguard in a docker container, I VPN into that machine to get access to other devices in the network

This is smart, I should do that. I just run Tailscale on my NAS, but I do sometimes worry about it

Watch new/untested content on debrid. Hoard content you love (physical or digital).

I use premiumize instead of rd because they also scrape Usenet and Ddl links. little bit more expensive but has been worth it imo

This is what’s stopping me from using another launcher on my chromecast. I get the disdain for ads in the community, but it absolutely has its uses. Browsing is a huge part of consuming content. This is why I use stremio over some of the more attractive options because they at least have what’s popular, even if it’s not as heavily curated as the streaming services.

Another +1 for stremio and torrentio. Their popular lists don’t update as frequently as I’d hope, but all other debrid solutions require either a learning curve or a bunch of automation. Stremio just works.

using a VPN is always a good habbit to be in, whether you need it or not

I just canceled our last holdout (appletv+, who put out a surprising amount of S-tier content) in order to pay for real-debrid.

I’ve switched over from mulitple apps (including plex) to a single stremio+torrentio and I don’t understand why I didn’t do this sooner. Anything I want to watch streams immediately in 4k. altho I might upgrade to premiumize.me instead because they use usenet and ddl links, so more likely to have older content.

I don’t have a proper solution for my iOS phone yet tho, but I rarely watch content on my phone anyway.

.

4x 18TB (ironwolf)

2x 250GB (970 evos) SSD cache

SHR (1 disk redundancy)

in a synology DS918+ NAS,

gives me ~47TB usable space in one enclosure

and

4x 8TB (ironwolf)

RAID 5 (1 disk redundancy)

in a OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad

gives me ~25TB usable space in the other

I have about 15TB of media stored, I like 4K HDR DV content and tend to rewatch stuff a lot. I don’t store anything that I have access to on a streaming service (unless it’s not available in 4K)

i didn’t write the quoted list, just helped the OP with his formatting. I use proton drive, not dropbox.

helped with formatting:

Chrome -> Firefox

Drive -> sync or Dropbox or any number of options

Sheets and productivity tools > libre office or Apache open office

YouTube -> Invidious or even better, odysse

Google search -> duck duck go, SearXNG, StartPage, etc

Gmail -> not a ton of great options. I’d probably recommend proton mail but the FOSS email world is definitely lacking, or gets blocked or goes down, harder to self host etc.

And I agree for sure. In order I use firefox (and brave sometimes), Proton Drive, Apple Productivity suite (pages, numbers etc), and either startpage or qwant, and proton mail. I do still use use YouTube Premium, but the point is Google doesn’t need to have its fingers in every aspect of my digital life.

silence trimming, voice boosting,

this is the first i’m even hearing of these features existing, maybe I should take a closer look at my apps

is there a reason you don’t run arr’s on your NAS as well? I use docker containers for everything on mine

wow, clearly I didn’t read enough after sign up. thanks so much for the intel!

I’ve had 4 or 5 torrents from TL in transmission (which is on 24/7) for 30+ days now and they haven’t even hit 0.5. All freeleech, all relatively active.

I’m using TL and cannot for the life of me keep a decent ratio. My speeds just cannot compete against seedboxes. Even idling in the IRC waiting for fresh content hasnt helped. YMMV

YT Premium, Spotify, Prime (for free shipping), AppleTV+ and partner pays for Paramount+

Share a friend’s account for Disney+ and another’s for Stan (aussie streaming service). Fuck Netflix.

wow, thank you
