Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

Imagine going to thrift stores for 15 minutes after work and ending up with all of these on DVD?
Problem is shows like “it’s always sunny” that i wanted to do this with, stopped making physical dvd releases after like season 10. Disney + also removed a bunch of episodes for “being offensive” which if that worries you, why are you watching its always sunny?
Imagine going straight home after work and steaming whatever you want instantly because you have Stremio + Torrentio?
Imagine pirating all that, not paying for it, AND having Blurays?
What else are you doing with those 15 minutes, working on world peace?
Don’t know what they’re but I would just go to Sonarr and add Southpark and at some point they’ll appear in Plex.
Well with Stremio you don't need to do that, because it's laid out like Netflix. That's why I prefer it over Plex; no downloading, no transferring files over (and if you add a Debrid service to the mix, no waiting on seeds, either). Just pick what you want to watch with your TV remote and enjoy. It's convenient enough that your Boomer parents could navigate it with ease.
These are some of the best episodes ever. Boo on them for being censors
To be fair, Jared Has Aides was NOT made with the knowledge that Jared did in fact want to give children AIDS
People pay to watch nutrek mostly
when the trek stops I unsubscribe. When the blurays come out I rip them to my jellyfin. If they have a big enough gap without trek, they stop getting my money
Colin from Accounts Season 2
Apparently it's because of Paramount Germany. Those episodes had, to quote them, "anti Semitic commentary"
It's only Germany as well, other countries get all of them. Including the United States. This reaction to a Twitter post is overblown. Germany has laws that must be followed that's all
Everyone here is reacting to a random person on Twitter as if they are telling the truth.
No, paramount blocks it in the US too if it gets blocked in Germany, so whilst the right thing to do is to block it for German accounts only, it's not what happens
Thanks for letting me know. Bout time for a rewatch.
what interface is that?
Running qBittorrent in headless mode (qbittorrent-nox running on my own server) with VueTorrent skin. This is the view in a browser.
oh, I didn't know the qb web interface can be skinned. is it "just" visuals, or can they also add features?
I think its only adding UI features :). I count mobile friendly view as a feature, thought its only a visual change. The one I use.
Can I get headless qbittorrent if setup currently with docker?
Aslo, you chose a damn large file for Southpark.
75 GB for the whole South Park series doesn't sound like a lot
I guess it depends on preference. When I check in Sonarr the largest file I can see is 35GB but I would have been choosing something around 15GB.
Is the quality 6 times better for the larger one?
Is the quality 6 times better for the larger one?
Probably not, but I tend to download at a quality where the compression doesn't really feel noticeable
Fair point.
I run on bare metal because I'm more comfortable with it that way but I think there's regularly updated containers that do just what you want. linuxserver/qbittorrent looks like a good bet.
Thanks dude.
linuxserver/qbittorrent
Can confirm it works well
I went over to my laptop to check if you're downloading the same one I'm seeding
unfortunately not, Im seeding 1-26 and you're downloading 1-21. Would've been funny tho
Thank you for your service
Time for piracy to make a swift comeback.
Why you're not pirating. You're just training your LLM.
Dont support the service. Plain simple. Well, I know you guys dont, but yea... just my 2 cents nobody asked for :D
