I have Netflix, Prime & Hulu. I'm ready to drop all 3 but my wife enjoys some of their trash. I'm tolerating it, for now.

No "Dogma". No one has ever streamed Dogma.

We’re back to cable. Buy the channel packages (streaming services) and now you have ads and pay-per-view.

Dont forget jellyfin and on mobile ruddarr to control them

This is why pirating isn’t an option to most people, you need like 4 apps and a dedicated pc running as a server to match the one click ease of streaming services, it’s ok for me but I get why my parents or less tech savvy people would be unable to figure it out

Yes this is true today but dont forget that linux is just generally slow. As each app is a docker there is one day the possibility of someone rolling all 4 or 5 apps into a preconfigured single docker or app that can be a one click install, easy to use. It just hasnt happened yet due to time/lack of effort and so on. Open source is slow like that. Its a voluntary thing so these things always take years.

Exactly. Movie? Enter name, wait a minute, watch. Series? Enter name, wait a while longer, watch.

Debrid-link* + Stremio

*or any other debrid service (Real-Debrid shut down)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you elaborate or redirect to further investigate how this could be used?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Seems like this explains it pretty well, though Stremio has basically an app for every device, not only the firestick:

Also, I don't remember doing the "Trakt" part when setting up, just used Debrid and Torrentio to connect it to Stremio.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait what, when did they shut down?

I'm still using them afik

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Just looked into it a bit more, turns out they're still working, but:

RD received a formal notice from the National Federation of Film Publishers (probably law suit) so RD has to comply and strengthen anti piracy measures.

That started with the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantavailability which is what 3rd party app add ons like torrentio and Fen Lite/Cocoscrapers used to scrape streamable cached links (I think)

The notice also included a blocking of torrents and purge of the cache of specific media, we don't know the full extent of this yet but it seems many links are already being blocked

The reason torrentio is working with RD again is because the torrentio dev built a workaround so that it will still use RD to pull links we just aren't able to see if they are cached or not, I do not know if this is a permanent fix but as far as I can tell, things will continually get worse for RD, not better.

If I want to pay money, I'll buy the DVD. If I just want it one time, I have ways and means.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I dont like having DVDs everywhere.

if they offered DRM free paid downloads so i could give them my money and just host it myself i probably would give them my money.

but they don't, so i sail

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That is fair. But I've had more HDD failure than DVD disc rot so far. I prefer physical media which doesn't require engaging my computer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

You can mitigate against HDD failure with RAID and backups.

I have two 8TB HDDs in a RAID1 configuration. if one dies i can remove the dead one and add a new one to the array and the data will sync back across from the good drive. I also have two 10TB drives in rotation going to offsite storage. every now and again i backup my server to one of these drives, take it to the place i store them and swap them over.

Only thing i'm missing from the 321 rule is different mediums, considering the amount of data i'm dealing with though the cost of backing up to tape though was prohibitative
