I wouldn’t mind paying for streaming services IF and ONLY IF they had everything day one just like Spotify works with music. I fucking hate paying for Netflix just to realize I can’t watch something new as it’s Paramount+ exclusive, and P+ doesn’t even let me register in my country. Always sailing for anything video related.
Does anyone know how I can get on a private tracker site. I have a whole containerized home server setup but still stuck on TPB. I’m ready to serve. Would love an invite.
I setup jellyfin with private tracker finally last week. We haven’t used any streaming service in years, so I was shocked to find out we would have needed 3 different services for 2 movies and one series we wanted to watch.
I have Paramount+ to support the A-Leagues. Optus Sport to support the WSL and NWSL. Prime because I’m weak and shop on Amazon and Proton VPN for everything else.
Same. It’s the thought that counts. Better than just blindly pirating without any attempt to participate in the market. But when the market gets absurd like this, this is the only recourse.
its been fun. ive been sailing the seas for.. shit... since inception. remember Myth!? watching all these providers come and go is almost entertaining.
the only real affect ive ever felt was once streaming became a thing, that content became higher quality and hits the water far faster than it used to. so, thanks for that!
Ive been an avowed pirate since i learned how to because i was so mad at Microsoft for selling windows ME. that OS was so bad it drove me to a life of crime lol.
But i still do it the old way, with torrents or streams. Have you kept with the times? Do you use plex or jellyfin or one of the other systems i see the fancy plates use?
ive been running storage devices (nas) since the late 90s... for media server its been MythTV.. then later SageTV (google murdered) then XMBC and now its kodi+jellyfin.
initially it was a lot of ripping physical media... it was awesome when netflix came up with the 'we'll send you 7 disks at a time (and then 5 and then 3), i was returning them within hours of receipt. nowadays i have a seedbox/central torrenting server so the kids can help.
Remember Kazaa? That’s where I learnt about different codec’s and the importance of virus checking files before running them, well until Kazaa++ came out and did it for you.
Well shit, you just unlocked a memory I haven’t touched in decades!.. Damn I miss the old p2p days, where you had to earn that mp3 of Destiny’s Child Bootylicious with a weird audio artifact mid way through!
Lol 20 years later I still have an album where my favorite track is only 98% complete because my dialup connection dropped when I was downloading it from Kazaa, and I just said eh, good enough.
