I’m part of a private tracker site. I’m pretty anon to them. They have an email but I use a VPN all the time. They had a requirement of having the same IP, so I just used one specific server.

You ever see that TV show person of interest? This is how that starts.

Glad I don’t get this shit on Linux. Why does anyone buy an Xbox these days?

Of course this is possible. Is it practical? Nope. There is already so much data harvested by the likes you Google and Facebook that they can tell what you like, what videos or articles you read, what you share, in some cases who you talk to. Importing a shit ton of audio data is pointless, they already know what you like.

So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍

This seems kinda scummy. If someone breaks TOS then ban the one account. I’ve seen for years now people bringing up jellyfin, knew it was coming when I saw this headline. I never tried it because I have iOS devices and an Apple TV, but now I see there are 3rd party apps for jellyfin on iOS/tvos. I may try it out, move if it satisfies my needs.

Putting in my recommendation for Signal, use it to message, call and video call between android and iOS.

Been using proton for torrenting and other use, it’s been great. Connect to Switzerland from USA with good speed and security. I use them for email so I got a good package deal.

It’s a shame how poorly that protest was planned. It should have been indefinite from the start, not 2 days, and moderators should have held out longer, instead of folding when Reddit said they would lose their power.

Watched this last night and it came to mind immediately.

Use Signal to talk to my gf. Had her get it so we didn’t have to use some shit like SMS or Snapchat, since I’m on iPhone and she’s on android. Had a couple of issues with messages not going through but since she upgraded her old phone it’s been fine.

Yes, at lest they did, not sure if that’s changing now.

I use Apple TV, something about needing a third party proprietary app makes it seem cobbled together compared to Plex, especially with that app being freemium. Maybe someday they will have a dedicated app. Last time I looked (probably a year ago) they didn’t have a system for ratings to make a kids account, has that been added?

Yeah, I already have premium to support creators I like to watch because I hat ads. Twitter can just fuck itself, never used it much at all. For Reddit I would have paid for Apollo annually if that was what was required to keep it going, but it’s apparent that making people pay a fair share wasn’t the goal.

Definitely. I hardly even looked at Reddit for like 3 years. I feel comfortable and somewhat eager to talk here on Lemmy. The people are so much nicer, I’m not anxious about some entitled prick fighting with me about opinions.

That would be better than any FAST I’ve seen.

Wow, it’s almost like those free channels the put all over my Plex that nobody wants was was a bad investment. Still love Plex as a service but I find it hard to see any value in FAST.

I’m more of a dog person, but I suppose that is missing.

Fair point. But I will say as a pretty new comer to Lemmy, it is hard to find an instance that you know will be a good fit.

What more can you need?
