These fins are jellied, mate.

And the radarr calibrated for treasure

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (3 children)

what does radarr to exactly? I know jellyfin is a glorified VLC, but what's radarr?

[–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Jellyfin can be self-hosted with Radarr to automatically download shows you want to it and be streamed with Jellyfin.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago

Glorified VLC.

Look, for me to "stream" movies to my friends using VLC I have to set up a finnicky RTSP server and get the settings right and then even then half the time it chokes on the video and the stream stops because it doesn't like certain file types/encodes.

Jellyfin takes out all the hard work of setting up a complicated streaming service for you and your friends.

Radarr is your personal fleet that will go plundered and get the booty for you while you lay in your comfy hammock drinking rum.

(You tell Radarr a movie and it will download it for you, rename it and add it to your media center automatically, also for upcoming ones. Sonarr does the same for shows, downloads the episodes once they are out.)

Jokes on you, I never had Netflix

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I had cousins account and I found torrenting still much more convenient than having to open Netflix in the propper browser or app to play with semi-decent quality.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 0 points 4 months ago (8 children)

In my country, Netflix shows often come out later than in the US so why pay money when I can get a greater variety of shows earlier for free on other streaming sites?

Streaming is a gray area. Germany is relatively strict with torrents but on streaming, you neither own nor share it at any point

c/piracy was the most trending community when I joined. What happened to them now?

[–] Norgur@fedia.io 0 points 4 months ago

They've got no time to post because they're busy watching all the things they want without taking on another job to pay for another dozen or so subscriptions.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 0 points 4 months ago

.world pre-emptively blocked them (twice) because ~~they're nerds~~ they're hosted in the EU and they thought they'd get in trouble by association for being federated with instances that promotes discussion of something illegal in their physical server's jurisdiction. They had a lot of traffic. The db0 comm is still alive.

[–] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Already departed and sailing the high seas, mate.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think they were defederated from a lot of places, but are still active elsewhere. Maybe https://lemmy.dbzer0.com ?

Netflix has mobile games, is that news?

Quite a few awesome titles to boot Deaths door, TMNT, katana zero, Hades, deadcells, spiritfarer etc.

Edit : removed IAP too for the likes of Narcos, Arcanium...

Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

Yes, it really does come to morals.

Like, would I really feel ok supporting an industry like that? With their shitty wages, horrible copyright practices, just evil corporate practices (nepotism, extortion, sexism, etc) - not exclusive to entertaining industry, but I can def chose not to support & fuel the suffering.

I want & do pay for small studio projects, FOSS initiatives, etc.
Let's normalise that so that such support may grow and change the world.

Long live there *arr services & their contribution to worlds culture & humanity through equality/comradeship.

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

I have grown up with pirating. I didn't even know that you can pay for stuff for a while lol. Yet just the other day I bought the plushie DLC for portal revolution, caz it was an amazing experience, and it was a free passion project from the fans to the fans.

[–] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 0 points 4 months ago (5 children)

If it comes down to morals, don't pirate, boycott. If your actions can be perceived as indistinguishable from selfishness, they probably are. And the only message you're sending is "we need to crack down more on piracy" not any actual good.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

No. You sound apologetic towards shareholders.
Morals are not the same as laws, lol.
And when something is part of the everyday life like this it isn't really the best thing to stay out of.

Also, boycotting something I wouldn't have payed for doesn't make sense. I don't even understand what you mean.

And what you call selfishness is the boycott here. That takes away from the megacorps (and not from the artists).

I don't wanna boycott people making series, I want way-too-big publishers & co to die.

[–] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 0 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Morals are not the same as laws, lol.

Agreed. Don't know why you're saying that, since I didn't mention the law anywhere.

And what you call selfishness is the boycott here. That takes away from the megacorps

It is not. If you boycott something you aren't benefitting. You are making a sacrifice in order to enact a change. And critically, if corporations want you behave differently, in a boycott they give in to demands. With piracy, they try to crack down on piracy.

(and not from the artists).

I'm sorry, how do the artists get paid when you pirate?

I don't wanna boycott people making series, I want way-too-big publishers & co to die.

If that is genuinely what you want, all you have to do is not purchase the content. Pirating it does not help you kill giant publishers. All it does is make it shittier for the people funding your free entertainment.

As I said in a different comment, if this is actually a moral thing for you, for every dollar you save by not paying for the things you enjoy, donate it to a union. If you're not, it clearly wasn't really about the artists, it was about you getting free shit.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I have to say I mostly disagree with your points.
At that kind of profit margins only the dividends get financed.

And I do spent the money on donations (FOSS devs, Wiki, random research, animal stuff), tho I haven't though of donating to unions. I didn't even know that is a thing. It isn't where I live.

I understand they need to be financed, but the whole point of unions is to get a better bargaining position & thus finance. That shouldn't need money. You dont donate to the strog guy that already has the power, you donate to the poor. Ot perhaps like some sort of semi-political parties that help organise workers? But we have regulators that strongly encourage unions at certain company size or sector.

What you can donate to or finance is smol studios. That's boycotting the big studios, regardless of content consumption.

There's few things that piss me off as much as self-righteous pirates. You want to say you're doing this out of a moral stand? Boycott. Give specifics for what union terms would be good enough for you to deign to pay people for their work. Check with the actual people in the industry for if they would prefer you pay or pirate. For every dollar you're not paying, donate it to a union.

Or just admit you're pirating selfishly because you can get cool stuff for free and rely on other people to fund.

[–] ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lol 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You should be focusing on the hedge funds and billionaire families. Not directing your REEing energy at me.

Back when I was telling everyone to watch Severance.

"Is that on Netflix?

-hum, Apple TV I think.

-you have Apple TV ?

It's the worst when you talk about a series you "acquired" and they ask you: "Cool! Where did you watch it? Is it on Netflix?"

Because of the "bong" at the start.

“No I usually do edibles when I watch tv”

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

When someone asks me where they can watch a show, I always tell them "I think it's on Pirate Bay".

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've been aware of Radarr and Sonarr and such for some time, but thanks to this meme, I get why they end with "arr" now. Thanks!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mine all live on the subdomain "yarr"

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm sad this isn't actually a domain.

I can't buy it since .de is a country domain and I don't live there.

I mean, I probably still can buy it, but I don't want to be rude and buy domains for a country that I don't live in

If you're going to have one service, the last one to get is Netflix. Hulu and Disney are $20 ad-free in a package right now. That's probably the best value out there.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Yeah, this is either old or out of touch.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I always just say I pirate it. What's surprised me is the number of people who then ask where I got it from. I assumed most normies would look down on it more than has been my experience.
