I fuck numbers.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Yeah lol. When I we first got wired internet at home (about 15 years ago), the speeds weren’t good. It averaged around 120 KBPS for browsing the internet. But the guy installing the connection told me that torrents went up to 10 MBPS easily, and he wasn’t lying. Before that, I didn’t understand that torrent worked in a fundamentally different way compared to direct downloads.
It was in India. I won’t be surprised if the situation is still similar. (I mean the attitude towards piracy. The speeds are pretty good nowadays.)
It’s empty. Good.
Yes, it does. It just repackages it from .m4a
to .opus
without re-encoding the actual audio stream.
Tip: You can add an & just before the last ;
to run these conversions concurrently. For more sophisticated control on the concurrency, I’d use parallel
.
I don’t keep any TV series after I watch them, unless someone else with access to my Jellyfin wants to watch too. So my collection is relatively small at a few terabytes.
