Right, exactly. The alternative to this meme is offering them access to my Plex server.
Welcome to Wrexham.
Not the kind of guy who’d watch something from a USB. Technically not a co-worker but a former co-worker, because he retired a couple of years ago.
I use Musicbrainz-picard to organize music and clean up metadata. For Shows and movies, it’s pretty easy. I use Plex and it’s pretty flexible with naming conventions
Just use something like Jellyfin or Plex. Install the server side software on your laptop and the client side on your Android TV
Seconded. Maybe start the how-to with what it is.
I’m a Proton die hard but I hear their Linux VPN client is lacking. I use all of their products but not on Linux.
Yeah, I mean, why get Spotify involved at all? Just pirate that shit
Right. I mean Spotify is a business. Why would there even be an expectation for free ad-free Spotify?
There is no ad free Spotify on IOS to my knowledge.
I don’t understand this sentence. I don’t believe that you can’t pay for Spotify on IOS. Do you mean there’s no free ad-free Spotify?

To add to this, you might as well set up a VPN at the router level for your entire house because Google’s whole business model is surveillance and advertisements, so they’re 100% going to collect all of the data coming and going.
For torrents and for anything else
I use a VPN and maintain a ratio. They must use something other than IP address as a unique identifier.
I use a VPN and it’s on a kill switch, so if it gets disconnected for whatever reason, the machine can’t reach the internet at all.
I can’t imagine why a private tracker would disallow you from using a VPN
It’s all I use. I feel like there’s less risk and they’re way more organized.
To everyone in here saying they download entire discographies, great! I agree. But the follow up question is how do you even find out about new (to you) artists that you might like? I’ve cross referenced the library I have (about 27k tracks) with the “similar artists” sections of Spotify, last.fm, etc, and I feel like I’m just going around in circles. All of the similar artists are just similar to each other and I have all of it already. How do you branch out?
TIL I’m elitist and insufferable
We need to stop calling it “purchasing”
You can download in whatever format is available for any given movie. Often movies are available in multiple formats, especially the popular ones. DM your email address amd I can invite you to a private tracker but only if you promise to keep a good ratio.
Also I’m sure some other commenter is literally going to say “mkv is a container not a format” but whatever, if you want mkvs the movie or show you want has to have an mkv available.
