piracy

burble, rok temu w We’re in a Golden Age of Illegal Sports Streams

I think the reddit streams pages (RIP /r/nbastreams, /r/soccerstreams, etc) were the peak of stream accessibility and quality for me. I have some go-to sites now, but those subreddits were so convenient and easy.

Major reason not to buy ebooks from amazon: you can’t lend, give, exchange, sell them and you may lose all of them if you anger the right people. They are not yours, you are not buying them, you merely paid for conditioned access to them.

Do we really need excuses for pirating media?

I pirate movies because I think digital access to them is overpriced, goes to the copyright holder instead of the creators, it’s convenient and most importantly because I can.

I can’t pirate going to the cinema, nor can I afford to build my own, therefore I gladly pay to have a seat and enjoy a movie there.

Edit: I thought this may be relevant to the movies example I gave. I don’t think movie studios, giving nothing back to society after massive profits are the ones we should debate the morals of stealing with.

Hi-Res scans of paintings and photographs. Like starry night from van gogh:

Would love a library of photos from Feininger or Salgado, paintings etc.

I would love a private tracker for art digitalizations.

Was changing his name to Bowser a part of the release?

Being his last name is Bowser i thought i had to be a joke. This is wild.

I somehow read his name as Gay Browser at first

I switched to pop os recently and I’m never going back to Windows. It’s easier now than ever to switch to Linux, even for gamers. Steam, proton, and wine have made running your Windows apps and games in Linux so easy. You’d have to have a very specific use case to justify staying with Windows now.

Here’s a fun one: I own two video capture devices, an Elgato HD 60 S and an Avermedia LiveGamer Portable 2. Both do not work in Linux. I found a simple USB HDMI capture device that works in Linux and cost a fraction of what thosmother overhyped ones cost me. It works way better than they ever did. That was one of my last adjustments. I can still stream my Switch and PS5 on Twitch, no problem.

That’s a pretty niche use case and it was easy.

Reminder that Microsoft is trying to shift Windows to be entirely cloud based, so this can easily happen overnight without your consent. You don’t own your OS. Linux is the only way, unless you’re one of those strange BSD folks.

With Sonarr/Radarr and Jellyfin, that convenience has effectively been trumped. I don’t know how they can compete

Rip sync

noUsernamesLef7, rok temu w What do you use to actually manage your stuff?

For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

Library file stuff:

• Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
• Sonarr for TV
• Lidarr for music
• Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
• Jackett
• deluge+openVPN

For library frontend stuff:

• Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
• Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
• Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
• LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
• Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader

Haven’t set up yet:

• flaresolverr
• unpackerr
• audiobookshelf

Doesn’t exist yet/wishlist:

• *arr app for emulator ROMs (I’ll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)

Icedrous, rok temu w Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority but it doesn’t make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It’s functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I’m upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let’s be real: nobody’s really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I’m going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I’ll use them side by side.

It’s kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I’ve been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it’s “federated” doesn’t mean you can’t say whatever you want. It just means it’s not owned by anyone in particular.

ModernRisk, rok temu w Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.
