Respectfully, what the fuck?!

Thank you for your service.

Are you an elf? We humans usually don’t live that long.

Adding to the discussion, if you want to watch anything that’s not mainstream (i.e. non-western, or arthouse), you’re basically supposed to either wait for it to stream on Mubi or get a Blu-ray/DVD (that are often out of circulation if it’s more than 5 years old). So the only real option is pirating.

Yes, but you and I aren’t the market for these. There are a lot of dumb, impressionable people, and some of them have money too.

Games are one of the very few things that I always pay for. Steam is mostly responsible for that. Also, music. But nowadays I do store some of my own music because I can have lossless that way.

You’re making this way more complicated than it actually is. The guy definitely can give estimates for when he parked the bike and when he found out that it was stolen. It’s not that complicated.

I can’t permaseed for tv shows due to storage limits, so I use autoremove-torrents to automatically delete stuff based on the tracker.

I’m kinda in the same boat, except for a specific private tracker. It’s a local private tracker which has a ton of exclusive stuff in my native language, and most of the users also speak it so there’s a communal aspect to it. But otherwise, yeah. I also tend to prefer public trackers, especially for more mainstream stuff.

Right? Who in their right mind cancels Mindhunter?

The one that prompted me to post this was a very thinly veiled attempt at saying that higher ups make mistakes unknowingly and that inherent biases aren’t a thing. The bitch boss in the video should be fired for discrimination, instead at the end she gives a lecture about how she appreciates the employees’ response and how she didn’t think what she did could be perceived as discriminatory.

What others issues are possible? Lol

I always pirate media even when I’m subscribed to a service. Most streaming services act up because I’m on Linux.

Oh no. You can shut it down, and turn it on all you want. But you’ll retain all your data and IP address.

Mine is a KVM. It’s tied to a specific instance and IP. Changing the IP is not free.

Yes, it does. Mine gives me 2TB/month of bandwidth, which is plenty for my use.

I have a VPS from RackNerd for something like $11.5/yr. You can check some offers from them here.

To be clear, it probably won’t work well as a Jellyfin server since the storage and CPU capabilities aren’t great. But it’s pretty good as a relay, which is what I described above. I have a local machine, and I use the VPS to relay the connection to the open internet.

Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 ways.

1. Using a VPS and DDNS (I personally do this):
   • Pros: Super easy for others to access, you just give them the address.
   • Cons: Not free. (Oracle free tier might work, but it’s unreliable.) But there are cheap VPSs as low as $12/yr that work pretty well. Also, it’s a bit harder to setup since you’ll need to create a VPN tunnel between your local machine and the VPS.
2. Using tailscale or zeroties:
   • Pros: Free, and easier to setup than a VPS.
   • Cons: People need to install extra apps to access your server.
3. By port forwarding:
   • Pros: Super easy to setup, just need to forward the ports through your router.
   • Cons: You’re opening a port to the internet, which is less than ideal. Also, it won’t work if you’re behind a NAT.
