With Netflix already having ads we are now 75% of the way to "cutting the cord" going back to reinventing cable again.

And that's why people started sailing the high seas again.

I had to upgrade mine probably 2 years ago now. I had nearly maxed out the 12TB I had. Now I have almost 30TB and some breathing room. Granted a lot of that is non-movies/TV but a good chunk of it is.

I’d be interested in building one… what do you recommend ?

[-] Miqo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have an Asustor Drivestor 2 and a 4tb Seagate NAS HDD. IIRC, it was around $300 total. I've only been using it for a few months, but it's an easily expandable setup if you want to add more storage later!

Honestly everytime I have to feel proud for sailing I dance like an idiot while the magnet links are being being pasted on the real debrid

Indeed.

  • Ad-blocking (before anything online)
  • DHT crawler, or index sites if DHT has too many results
  • right-click/long-press on magnet URL
  • copy link
  • paste magnet link
  • remove tracker URLs (not needed)
  • go
  • enjoy

Hm, 8 steps, is one more than the 7 stages of grief; but I'll take this over yet-another subscription service that continually degrades in quality for the dollar.

Some of us never stopped sailing the high seas matey. Yarrrrr!

@OldWoodFrame @ZeroCool yeah I will never, Comcast/Xfinity are total scum bags and I would pay extra to never give them money ever again. Unfortunately I am forced to use them for Internet, there’s no way I’m paying for their cable TV programming.

"Again"?

I've still been out here since Napster. Welcome back aboard, we kept the torrents warm for you.

[-] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago

What are the cool kids using these days?

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I was using torrents for years before I started messing with Usenet. Now I've got it set up it's easy to grab pretty much anything and at higher quality than before.
