Honestly I put up with doing that when the prices were better. After damn near 15 years I had to dust off the hat and sail the seas. It forced me to learn how to set up a home server which I’ve never even entertained the idea of until now.
I’m about to be in the same boat (pun intended). I think I’m going to learn to use Linux and set up a home media server at the same time.
Kind of a cool hobby, you will have your problems in the begging but as soon as everything is set up stable, it is quite convenient. I personally use openmediavault (Debian based) as my host OS and Docker containers for all services I host. I can highly recommend Jellyfin for your own media streaming service
I used the guide from this guy when I built mine and it was immensely helpful in getting the storage system up and running. That docker-config file shared in another comment is also pretty handy.
I think God for all the illegal streaming sites out there. Because God knows that it’s not safe to torrent these days
Just Watch is a great app for finding out where something is.
Yes. It is fucking ridiculous that we need an app to find this stuff, but at least there’s an app…
Guessing by your username, you could ve interested in www.werstreamt.es (the pun with the spanish TLD is kinda great, ngl)
You can still buy DVDs can’t you? What I miss though is being able to rent movies at a place with a big assortment.
Do they still come with unskippable ads telling me to not download a car?
Don’t forget that when you search you also need to wade through AI-generated SEO trash that doesn’t actually tell you which service it’s on.
I’m so fucking done with the garbage AI articles that give nothing. Do nothing. Just waste time and space to try to eat up and revenue I don’t even give because I have ad blocker sup to wazoo. If I had any way to punish them for the damage it’s doing to the internet I would in a second.
