TheImpressiveXNew Dad Can't Wait to Show Newborn Child Hard Drives Full of Pirated Movies Once He's Old Enough
BeaconWhy store media locally? Whenever you want you can just download it or pirate-stream it
MentalEdge“Why store anything? Just re-download it from someone who’s still storing it!”
You see the catch 22 here?
These are the people that torrent without port forwarding capable VPNs and tell others they don’t need it because “it works fine!”
What’s wrong with not using port forwarding?
You can’t seed properly.
ShellMonkeyHow do you stream it if nobody downloads it to seed things? The whole premise of seed ratios isn’t just a bragging score, it’s aiding the communal health.
Besides, I have around 60 TB of space here, that’ll hold several versions of damn near every Linux distro out there for a while, it’d be a shame to waste it.
I'm not talking about streaming it from p2p, I'm talking about streaming it from pirate sites that make money on ads (which i have blocked)
Those get taken down on a regular basis. Not to mention the atrocious bitrates that is all they can manage.
Meanwhile, a high quality BluRay rip on my drive ain’t going anywhere.
Lvxferre [he/him]If you don’t hold it, you’ll eventually lose it. Plus sharing is loving, and if you don’t have it you can’t share it.
BlackmistBecause I like things to look good on a TV and surround system, not a phone with a tinny speaker.
deegeeseI just set up AndroidTV so they can watch ad-free YouTube.
Still need a better setup for extracting Amazon video without ads.
BjörnMy kids are so used to ad-free YouTube, they nag me when it breaks.
I actually worry more about my kid accidentally narcing on me. Any parents have solutions for this?
Just hide a bag of cocaine in their room. Their credibility will plummit simply by pointing out to authorities that they have a hard drug problem and showing evidence.
Bake him away, toys!
what’d you say chief?
My kids ask when I’m adding a movie to Jellyfin all the time
Mine doesn’t care about jellyfin yet. Soon though.
Same. My two older kids (teenagers) will come to me with literal lists of albums and TV shows 😂
If my parents were hosting Jellyfin, I’d have done the same.
Though in my family, I’m far more likely to be the one hosting, and receiving requests
Use Jellyseerr will make your life easier, streamline the approval process.
Yeah, but then you’d have to live with clicking Accept on Skibidi Toilet: The Movie
StalinwolfMy kid is the only one in the cul-de-sac with Minecraft. We have quite the popular couch this month.
I never clued in when I was a kid in the 90s but we had a collection of all kinds of Disney movies on VHS tapes with handwritten labels and usually 2 or 3 movies per tape. I just thought that was normal.
I’m sure my kids will just think their Jellyfin library is normal.
We’d just tape them off the TV though, so halfway through you’d get an advert for a DFS sale that must end this Sunday, or that bizarre one about milk (Accrington Stanley, who are they?)
I later found out that they’d put these tapes on for us when they wanted to be left alone for a few hours. And we watched them a lot. Not sure what was more worn out by the end, the tape or my dad.
katy ✨it’s important to teach your children the importance of a healthy seed to download ratio.
Too bad lots of them are probably in 720x400 resolution (700-1400mb avi encoded 20 years ago) ._. cough cough cough
That’s the only thing stopping me from hoarding petabytes of movies. They’re going to be in an outdated format anyway before I get to see them.
