      And maybe about a minute or so more - absolutely not because I wanna cause any discomfort, I just need to process the shock & loss (maybe some abatement issues) to be able to physically move away, back home to my def-not-up-to-date Jelly Fino (thats the name of my main instance).

      (Actually I really should update my Jellyfin client on Tizen … or buy a N100 player or something.)

      Why pay for usenet access when my ISP gives me the same upload as I have download and I’m not using it for anything else?

        Because paying for usenet means paying for privacy rights. Next to that, law enforcements are actively hunting uploaders, not downloaders. Usenet is much faster. Constant uploading is less energy efficient as it requires more pc power (especially when uploading loads of data) so it costs you more power, slows your pc, keeps your hard drives actively running which wears them down (as I imagine you don’t have 32TB in SSD). With torrents you need to keep them uploading to get ratio on the closed community sites, so it takes up much more drive capacity. On open sites you get loads of viruses and other junk. I use my upload speed for friends to stream the content from my NAS instead. I got free vpn with my usenet account, for the price of a vpn account so I pay as much as you downloading torrents, if not less, assuming you’re smart enough to have a paid vpn subscription. And this vpn is on top of SSL for extra privacy.

        Usenet is better in so many ways.

          I don’t want to get in the way of your argument re. Usenet, but spinning hard drives will last longer if they stay on. Starting and stopping the spindle motor will impart the greatest wear. As long as you have the thermals managed, a spinning disk is a happy disk.

          Someone correct me if I am wrong, but downloading is not actionable for the studios. Only distribution is. If you only ever download there is nothing they can do.

            I think there’s no hard rules. I think in Australia, with the Dallas Buyers Club fiasco, the judge said a fair compensation for pirating a copy of the film was the price of the DVD, but because the studio were trying to sue a single individual for millions they threw the case out.

            As far as know there is no precedent for piracy punishments on individuals. The best they can do is ask your ISP to send you a strongly worded letter.

          I seem to have more than a handful that still work without issues. I only need my private trackers to fins old or special things. Anything recently released is readily available and sonarr/radarr finds it.

      Looking closer at the image, I’m going with “in this house we use single sideband.” (But, as a Plex user, I love yours too.)

        Plex is pretty awesome, ngl. I always wanted to try jellyfin since paywall and all but since most people wont donate to open source to save their own lives, I really cant blame them.

          Yet Jellyfin has no financial issues and even asked people to stop donating to them but to support other projects instead.

            I went with Emby after I started having concerns with privacy on Plex. I have a lifetime sub of Plex and used it for like 8 or 9 years, but I really dislike that they would send emails to users about stats of who watches what, etc.

            I would have gone Jellyfin too, but Emby has a cloud connect setup for easy server switching, and I wanted the LDAP plugin among many other plugins available.

            I run both, jellyfin for people who want to download stuff to their phone without the plex pro thing and plex for everyone else since I find it much easier for user management

          I run both Plex and Jellyfin. I always watch my videos with subtitles and for that reason Jellyfin is still unusable for me. Subtitles are too big on one platform but too small on another. Size adjustment is broken. No Subtitle delay adjustment. Downloading subtitles is an external process.
          I still use it for an occasional video that needs transcoding, but it really needs to fix subtitles before I can ditch Plex. There are other minor issues with JF over Plex, but they are not dealbreakers.

            Thanks for mentioning this. I recently switched to kodi for my tv setup and it works well with plex. I wonder if jellyfin would work with it. I might try it.
