Graysites genuinely have better ui than streaming services, plus they have better content availability than all streaming combined
Self-hosted Jellyfin has the benefit of never being taken down unexpectedly and good/customizable UI
Yeah, but the administrator is a bit of a dick
I have a jellyfin server spec'd but the RAM and HDD prices are too painful to swallow for me atm
Hit some garage/estate sales.
I built Frankenstein's NAS out of parts from 4 old DDR3 gaming PCs and a pile of drives from old workstations. Just need a good case with tons of bays/fans.
Sure, it not power efficient, and some of those drives will die over the next few years, but it will get better (cope).
(Just add larger HDD in pairs as referbs go on flash sales, for only 2x more than they were last year... And pray for the hardware crash or more cash)
Same lol. Started with an old Franky desktop and 2x500gb drives, continuously upgraded over the last decade with used parts.
summer 2024 I upgraded to 4x20TB drives, new fractal cube case with 8 3.5" drive bays, new CPU, etc. same profile from a decade ago. Runs great, it's a fun project that keeps me from subscriptions aside from VPN, which I use for other stuff, and NZB subscriptions, a few bucks a month.
Plus I can get movies literally within hours of a digital release, sometimes sooner. It's a little work, but I love it.
I have a server running with a Raspberry pi and some old hard drives, the performance is limited, but it works
I have a huge digital archive that I need to make, not to mention the stuff I'd be adding through the 7 seas. Right now with the amount of RAM and storage I need, it's nearly $3k. In normal times it would still be expensive, but it would be manageable
I don't know the details of your needs, but perhaps giving up a part of your plan in order to implement the rest is something to consider, I mean, functioning half-heartedly in this case is better than not working at all.
Pirating from Amazon is actual, tangible product theft.
I mean, I still support it, it’s just more involved to do.
Since they shared streaming services we are gonna assume they mean piracy of amazon prime film catalogue, e-books etc etc blink
Then please ignore me walking off with this giant sack of purloined goods. You saw nothing.
Where they of the rich?
They were indeed of the rich.
I was temporarly blind and couldn't see anything sir
Unless you're specifically talking about their digital movie, music, book, or game services.
Oh yeah, those are easy to thieve from.
Books are pretty straight forward. And based on what I see out on the high seas, video can't be that much harder.
bandcamp
Piracy+band camp in the first row (they still pay artists well)
If that's amazon, what does "Piracy" from Spirit Halloween look like?
You can't increase pricing, maintain low quality, and sell ad tiers and sell expect people to keep paying.
Even worse, movies and shows often get removed.
Theoretically, if they can find one person willing to subscribe for a billion dollars a month, they'll keep on making money.
I still have a Pandora subscription.
ye scurvy dog
Ah pandora, the service that introduce me to The Paper Chase all those years ago
