Steal the sign instead

This is very technical but if your ISP has unmetered Netflix or Spotify you could have a VPN on a server that spoofs the hostname (easier) or IP (harder) which only works for downloading and i imagine using >50GB of data to Spotify might make the ISP ask some questions. Netflix would be easier since 4k movies are a thing

Look into Jellyfin and the *arr suite for automating downloads. If this seems too complicated for now, just get a cheap 1 TB external SSD, a VPN (check out mullvad), a torrent client (i suggest qBittorrent or Transmission), bind the torrent client to the VPN to prevent leaks and off you go!

The simpler method has some drawbacks, not all TV's support all codecs and formats, you have to move the external drive from your computer to your TV for example. Getting Jellyfin setup will give you a more streaming service type of experience and if someone else than you might want to watch something, start with Jellyfin.

If the Jellyfin experience is horrible and you just really wanna watch a movie to relax on a saturday, maybe take a look at Plex.

If you already have the MiniPC just lying around then great, just use that! If you don't have it, you can also host Jellyfin + the *arr suite on your PC (unsure about Windows compatibility) and start them when needed or have them run in the background when your computer starts.

Made the poll with a VPN, didn't know this was an issue.

Should work now

The title seemed quite negative but the article is quite good.

I hope that POSSE is the future but the layperson will not host their own site that serves as their "identity" which makes me feel that at some point we will have "identity management" services which will again centralize part of the web (in a less worse way)

• Search for a title you want to watch, autocomplete fills in the full movie but the movie isn't available in your region / on netflix

The releases with ads are often CAM or TS releases which are recorded at the movie theater with a camera

At least torrentgalaxy marks ad-ridden releases with a small red "ad" label which i filter out with a ublock origin filter torrentgalaxy.to##.fa-adversal:upward(3)

On other sites releases with ads might have the advertisement in the name like XBET

I'm usually not in a hurry to watch the newest movies so i wait for the webrip/dl versions of which the highest seeded versions have an extremely low probability of containing ads

Never spent the time to figure out what KMS actually did but seems like licenses weren't validated when upgrading from 7 -> 8 / 11

Watch it get found by an employee in a personal backup and then later get fired (like what happened with Toy Story 2) or get into trouble for "inappropriate copying of company property" or something similiar
