pirating for parents that lack technical literacy? - sh.itjust.works

Hello everynyan, So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that’s okay? I’m recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate. Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don’t want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off. Things I’ve considered: - Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house - SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then Thanks, -shitass

As an end user to PLEX, I can say its just the easiest thing to do-navigation wise for your parents. We have a friend in the US that had setting up the server as a hobby but (after 4 years) finally asked for a small monthly maintenance fee. Since moving out of the US it is the only streaming service we use.

Just my 2 cents. -the pirate ship cook

Question - is there a way to make my Plex library always available without having my desktop running non-stop? My Plex downloads live on an M2 on my desktop currently.

For re.ote access just download the app and sign in. Plex can traverse your NAT for you and serve the files.

If you want higher quality (you do), set up a VPN to connect your devices. Tailscale worms well for me.
