Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn't work.

This right here is what keeps me from charging for Jellyfin access.

This ties into the comment I was going to make separately. For context, my dad recently passed. First father's day without him. My mom asked to watch a movie that meant something to the both of them because they saw it together in a drive in on release and it was very memorable because the technology and techniques used were fascinating at the time. She complained that it wasn't on Disney+ or anywhere.
You may have guessed it, but she requested Song of the South. One serious moral quandary later, I got it ready for her to watch.
Tomorrow is gonna be rough, but at least my sailing might bring some good memories for her.
-
Sending lots of love to you and your family.
-
That is a great movie. Don't let social justice warriors tell you it's not. Sorry to hear about your dad.

Just give them a usb of the show for Christ's sake! Sneaker net that shit. Which show btw?
-
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 did this for a coworker not too long ago.
I think it was for Firefly....
They gave the USB drive back too. Win-win
-
nah teach a man how to fish!
-
Isn’t that too risky though? That can be an evidence when argued in the court
-
A lot of risk narcing on someone irl
-
Or from the other side, taking a random ass USB stick from someone you barely know? Nah. Who the hell knows what it could be infested with.

On the open meadows of the freeinternet,
\ where the gentle breeze touches all equally,
\ where the people are friends,
\ and the money is spent on FOSS devs & smol gaming studios.-
Beautiful 😍

If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.
If someone is aware of piracy and doesn't care: "I don't really know, I just got it off of a torrent site."
If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don't work for: You can ignore them.

Do you know of any easily shareable beginner's guides?
I love turning friends onto free media, but I don't always want to walk them through it.
-
Not really beginner friendly because it doesn't teach you much but the site has a nice list of resources that goes even boyond piracy: https://fmhy.net/beginners-guide
-
You could share this sublemmy's pinned post, or the megathread it links to:
-
fmhy.pages.dev/beginners-guide/
fmhy.net also hosts the same guides I believe

Jellyfin!

I just honestly answer that I don't know.
-
If you can't proudly say your pirating sure you need to find a new friend group
-
It's just that they have no idea how to answer the question
-
I just respond with a hearty "yeeearghhhh!" and continue the conversation. The coworkers that know get it, the rest think I'm a lunatic.
-
-
That's what shocked me at work. I've been pirating since limewire and then comes this 40-something Y/O mom, not even nerdy or computer savvy or something, and gives a performance like she's already found the OnePirce and wanted to be the next Anne Bonny.

I borrowed it from an acquaintance on Internet :D

Fell off this passing truck that was carrying shows and movies!

"Oh, I download it from well known and respected torrent sites. All the services I might use are crap."
-
I get this almost daily, my whole family and several friends know I'm good at recommending things to them so they always go to me to ask what to watch. I've had to start looking up and writing down where each movie and show is available "normally". I have no issue saying I get everything via other means but whem it became a thing where people started asking "can you also look up where it's available" just because it's not always easy to figure that out and they knew I didn't know and generally find it quicker than them.
-
It's more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.
-
Sounds like a business model to me. if i didn't pirate everything i'd sign up anyway
-
-
Depends on how cool they are
-
Right, exactly. The alternative to this meme is offering them access to my Plex server.
-
-
Me: The internet ;) ;)
-
“Channel BitTorrent” is my reply
-
-
🏴☠️ service
-
Just send them to JustWatch.
-
l'pirate bay. it's a french site for classy artsy films
-
It's on Plex on my Synology ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-
Say it loud and proud: https://hydrahd.com/
This is how we fight back.
-
Thanks for the site, I'd genuinely never heard of this and was looking for something new!
-
Anytime!
This is a good one.

There doesn't seem to be any way of saving videos there, am I missing something?
-
No. Most sites don't offer their own ways to download videos.
If you want to save videos, you can always use a browser addon. I use VideoDownloadHelper for Firefox and it allows me to download any video, even on Linux.

I'm the opposite
Them: You should check out this show I've been watching, it's great. Do you have Disn-----
Me: I can get anything online. How do you spell the name of the show? Thanks for the rec. If you need help getting anything you aren't subscribed to let me know.

Hi-C's

When i try to explain my jellyfin/Arr setup to coworkers that ask "what site do i use to watch shows for free" it just goes right over their head or they stop listening. Even in reductionist terms. If its more work than going to a special website, searching and hitting play, they just aren't interested.
