Ah yes, searching for torrents in radio frequencies
The radio is obviously for updating jellyfin. All’s good.
Anti-ISP torrent detection technology
The radio was part of the template
What is radio but different a wavelength wireless network?
…duh, Radarr…
I know this person and, honestly, it’s a thing of majesty. These discs have presence, heft, and are valuable. They’re collectors items on some level - every last one of them. So what if we’re watching “Jaws” or “Aliens” for the 400th time. We’re having a real, visceral experience here.
I’m exaggerating here, I only have about 200 laserdiscs. That’s just a portion of my physical media collection. But I do really enjoy them. My toddler calls them “big movies” and we’ve watched Bambi I don’t know how many times. And hell yeah, Jaws and Aliens! I have the Criterion release of Silence of the Lambs, and that has also gotten a lot of play time.
As much as I love the tanginess of your meme, your username has earned you a permablock.
stay angry!
I literally have no medical alternative!
It’s going to take a while to torrent a movie on the 40 meter band.

This is the first time I’ve seen anything SDR related on lemmy. Please tell me there’s a community for us somewhere here, that’s one of the few things I still miss from reddit.
If you post on [email protected], I’d read.
I bought a cheap RTL-SDR to help solve a CTF challenge at DEFCON. The 2m/70cm antenna on my roof is begging for a fun project that’s not just talking to other hams.
I might do a brief write up on setting up NTSC and PAL broadcasts if there’s any interest. It’s a neat little project to get some life out of an old CRT you might have lying around. Although I don’t believe the RTLSDR has enough bandwidth to fully cover a NTSC stream, but I have seen a write up where someone got it working with some compromises. I found a neat piece of software that uses ffmpeg and even has yt-dlp support and a GUI wrapper for it. I’m actually using it right now to play music videos, with a MTV logo and all. My understanding of antennas is…lackluster. It’s all over coax anyways to avoid any run-ins with the FCC.
Actually, amateur TV broadcast was something that interested me. I had the opportunity to buy an SDR with wider bandwidth, but I wasn’t sure how much I’d get into it, so I kept things cheap.
Another thing I’m looking into is ADS-B flight tracking. My house is within range of a sports arena where there are all manner of overhead banners get flown. Might be fun to follow them around on a map.
You should pickup a HackTV if you’re interested in SDR. Add on a portapack and you can scan ADS-B and a bunch of other stuff off internal battery power with no computer/tablet. And it has great driver and software support when you want to connect it to a computer. The only downside compared to more expensive radios like the kraken is that it’s half-duplex. But for how I use and for the price it that’s not a problem.
Every frame will also have some handwritten info about the radio it was sent with, and possibly a photocopy of some dog in the corner
We’re not watching the movie, we’re listening to the download 🌚🌝
“whatever pirate site feels like working today and chill” rolls right off the tongue

Jellyfin and stick it in

I call all pirate websites Pirate Bay. It’s easier.
I refer to them all as ‘The Library’.
Did you know you can borrow movies, books, music, and TV shows from The Library? It’s awesome!
Ah, I work in an actual library, so that would get confusing.
“High seas” if I want ppl to understand me, but “the soft/open meadows of the internet” is how I feel about the great library community.
nyaa and chill
Not to be a buzzkill, but lemmy.world has a rule against posting links (even obfuscated links) to pirate sites. You may want to edit that post to at least remove the TLD.
Stremio with torrentio and chill

Sure. Is your VPN on?
Friendly reminder that i2p exists and that you can torrent your cat videos without exposing yourself to your dog loving isp.
More info can be found here: https://lemmy.world/c/i2p
A service brought you by a human (usually I see bots do this): [email protected]
Its so you can stay on your instance and your viewer.
TIL, appreciate it
is a VPN (mullvad in my case) not good enough?
it is. that’s just a different way to protect yourself.
Depending on your threat model you’re almost certainly fine.

I am already on one knee proposing
Reading this thread is letting me know how behind the times I am, like 90% of the apps are greek to me.
Used to have a huge library media server, torrenting all the day long.
But you guys, WOOHOO hosting drop servers and auto seeking subtitle and NFOs 24/7 from a curated seek list. FUCKING BRILLIANT!
I don’t got that kind of energy in my old age
Nowadays I have a handful of pirate stream sites and that’s really all I need.
Older geek here. I started with Plex and torrent. Added sonarr. Researched and switched to jellyfin. Learned about arr stack. Moved services to docker.
It’s now super low maintenance. If I need to update a service, I just kill and recreate it. I have a second machine for media storage.
I think I spent a weekend building the arrstack and I have a few days total working on the home made NAS.
I just kill and recreate it
That’s too much effort sailor! We have a container for that ! Watchtower - containrrr.dev
Do you use jellyseerr?
Nope. Is it for people to ask me to add stuff to sonarr?
It is a gui for searching for stuff across sonarr and radarr that also integrates with jellyfin to keep track of what you already have.
So uh. I guess it makes it easier for other people in your household to add stuff to jellyfin
That makes sense. It sounds helpful if you have a bunch of requests.
Pirate and chill
Jokes on you I’m into that

Y r u not searching the content name in the search bar of radarr or sonarr instead? So simple. So automated. So arr.
You can also setup lists which for example automatically download all the movies in your watchlist on Plex or a list on TMDB (and I assume IMDB)
love sonarr, radarr however never quiet worked for me. It doesn’t like my network drive and then when I got around that it had this bad habit of downloading movies it already knew I had again…
Ombi, yo.
Who uses torrents when there is usenet, sonarr and radarr.
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.
Yeah fair enough, but that’s why they run idle instead of off when not in use, right? At least my NAS optimizes the lifespan of my drives while at the same time preserves power by keeping them running idle when not in use AFAIK. As soon as I access data I hear the drives spinning harder. My pc runs on SSD’s as it is off during the night and downloading to SSD storage means rewriting bits all the time which wears SSD storage down, unlike with HDD’s. So my NAS runs sonarr and radarr and automatically downloads everything by itself, directly to HDD’s. But those HDD’s are idle when I’m not downloading, because I’m not uploading because I don’t use torrents.
But please correct me if I’m wrong. I’d love to improve my setup and the life span of my drives.
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.
Both downloading and uploading is illegal in most places, even downloading became illegal here in the Netherlands a few years ago. But searching for someone downloading a movie is dumb, you would want to catch the uploader so there won’t be anything to download anymore. The Dutch company Brein actively searches for uploaders and fines them on contract from creators, labels and studios. They do this together with the Dutch police and police from other nationalities. They don’t care if you have ip TV, they do care if you host ip TV. They don’t care if you download, they do care if you upload. With torrents you also upload, so they want to fine you if able. Due to privacy laws in The Netherlands this isn’t possible yet, but in Germany it’s a standard practice as ISP’s are forces to share user information.
Sonarr and radarr works just as well with torrents.
There’s just very few public trackers that work anymore.
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.
Don’t use public trackers.
Unless you’re on your neighbor’s WiFi
im lazy and don’t wanna pay for usenet, torrents are great
Seriously, private trackers work great, are free, and are simpler to use.
Usenet is the way but I’ve never witnessed someone who torrents see the light in a penny comment thread. Few people truly understand opsec and how to quantify their own risk surface, but those who do will gravitate towards Usenet.
Speed is also a factor. Casuals don’t understand what it is to grab a release before a torrent has found the first seeder.
Many don’t know about usenet. When you only download using torrents and don’t know anything else, you might look into it after reading something about it here. It’s how I found sonarr and radarr, by reading about it on reddit.
About the speed: Oh, that’s such a difference. I download with roughly 100MB/s constantly, which is the max write speed of my drives (1000mb/s connection). I’ve never reached anything like that with torrents.
New movie? Sure. Let’s download the 46GB version. 10min later and it’s downloaded, extracted, renamed, put in the right folder, added to Kodi ready to watch, including subtitles.
To me usenet is a no-brainer.
You don’t need the gun, I’m staying as long as I am welcome.
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.)
fuck streaming services!
Obviously that means that I just don’t watch movies and just sit in silence doing nothing, because piracy is wrong and immoral!
Aye aye matey, people who choose piracy are peer-plexing…
In all seriousness, that woman is a keeper.
I still would never pirate anything and I’d totally get her to stop doing that shit too.
Oh you were being serious
You just got upvoted! Very good at detecting when someone is being sincere!
MULLVAD! Lockdown mode! Multihop in two different far apart countries! TNERROTTIBQ!
Ahhh! My Tourette’s is getting worse!
I’m always serious and always being sincere…SARCASM IS WRONG AND IMMORAL!
Things are so tight that 1 streaming service would be an irresponsible expense for me. $15/month for an expense that can be circumvented if you’re smart, its a no brainer. I feel like society has done more harm to me than any amount of piracy will ever do to them. Where are all these high paying jobs I was promised I could have if I got a degree, huh? I’m worse off now than before I made the decision to go to school. It’s pirated or nothing for me but it’s also more convenient. That enshittified corporate ui shit is slow.

Well obviously that means that you just have to stay in silence and watch nothing all the time.
Piracy is wrong and immoral and you should never deprive a billion dollar corporation that’s keeping over 99% of the money the actors and production crew are making
There are people who understand what I’m saying…then there’s the guy or lady I’m replying to right now.
By that I mean…PIRACY IS IMMORAL!
In this house we use Plex
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.
Watching my torrents over SSTV
I thought that was against the fediverse laws.
The FOSS commandos will be at their house shortly
