I run some of my services (until very recently including jellyfin) on my HP pavilion G6 from 2007. It still runs my wireguard, backup pihole, heimdall, etc. I run it on Linux mint (it was familiar) and cant do most things on screen (lags hard) but I can ssh or VNC in just fine
I watch totally fine on my phone and pickup at home. It should sync to your log in account in my experience
Setup a jellyfin server, and then you can use custom CSS options to outright make jellyfin look and function like netflix.
Example: https://github.com/Automationxperts/jellyflix
There are many more options to completely customize the look and feel. Also you can do this system wide (meaning all clients get what you set up, or you can set it up per client since its just CSS)
Finding a guild helps, I joined EVOS who runs Triple Trouble each day after reset around Midnight EST. They are a great group and helps when you want to find people to do content. Also simply posting in LFG is shockingly effective. Its really one of those “build it and they will come” type of deals. The community (in my experience after playing for a few years now) is that many people are willing to group up, just not everyone is willing to START the group.
Also, I have found lots of repeatable fun in different map metas that very organically allow you to group up with people. Besides that, if youre feeling solo play, there are tons of great collections to work on that have genuinely worthwhile rewards (herta, princess, Ley matter converter, griffon, ascended banners backpack from PoF, etc.).
I mean you’re right, what I am saying is how does a digital copy of a film draw suspicion? Unless they find the actual torrent files, they have no grounds to even claim you’re doing something. I do not know of any countries outside of North Korea where content cannot be carried around digitally.
I feel like if they singled you out to dredge your computer/hard drive that you have on you at the border. Then use that search to claim you were transporting pirated content, they likely had you in their sights before hand. The chain of events of finding say a digital movie, and them accusing you of piracy (without torrent files, just the existence of a movie/show digitally) just does not logically compute to me. Id be suspicious they were attempting to target me prior, and that was all they could find “to get something”
Not to mention its not a huge scene. If you get black-listed, you might have a hell of a time getting back in to decent trackers if the admins share info on known blacklisters
How do they know it’s pirated? If I rip my own DVD/blu-ray, put it in folders, and download subtitles. How does that look different from a completed torrent?
I’m in some pretty large ones and I’ve never found a dead torrent yet. I also get great speeds on anything I DL
Also, many developed countries tout EVs as “AMAZING” for the environment. Meanwhile that is solely because none of the lithium mining and processing occurs in their nice countries. While they get their nice “green” batteries, China and South American countries destroy their environment strip mining and processing lithium ore. That shit is TERRIBLE for the environment, and there is no economic incentive to clean up the process. The news, media, politicians, CEOs, etc. never speak about this because it paints the reality of the picture. You’re shifting the carbon footprint to something else, not really even reducing it.
I actually am very interested in the new solid state batteries Toyota is talking about. Using polymer based batteries can allow for longer lasting, less impactful energy storage to help make electric/H-fuel cell cars genuinely green/a great step from combustion vehicles
I torrented and seeded many torrents (its still seeding right now) and it can do at least 2 (havent tried more) jellyfin streams at once as long as I disable server side transcoding to reserve resources. I had the full arr suite of apps running along with ombi (gonna move to jellyseer, but imo ombi used too much ram on my 4GB laptop to be something I kept running). Is it perfect? No, it has quirks that will come up now and again but can I really complain when getting now 16 years of use out of a laptop I never thought I’d touch again once I built my desktop?
Edit: oh be aware, if you’re using old hardware, DO NOT use the newest versions of things like Linux mint, it possibly won’t have drivers that works for really old hardware (like wifi card, Lan card, etc.) and it won’t be easily apparent sometimes. I solved this with a friend who had the same laptop as me but couldn’t get internet once installing mint. It turns out he used a newer version of mint that did not have a way to support his wifi card and installing and older version solved it
