Yea absolutely, people have ran it off Raspberry Pis and external USB drives lol

As far as I know, there’s still a strong but small community on Usenet for discussions still

As far as server/desktop stuffs, many have had decent success running them on things like old laptops and raspberry pis to decent success. Won’t be as powerful, but if it’s just you and a spouse and maybe kids or something it should be just fine

Those are dependent on the relevant torrent being available and seeded

Jellyfin/Plex and Radarr/Sonarr + Usenet, you’ll have said file once downloaded for as long as you want, but requires considerably more storage space and torrents suck for older, more obscure stuff. Usenet doesn’t depend on seeders, and the big boys have something like 15+ years retention and you’ll always download them at full speed (no tons of seeders but slow upload speeds to worry about either)

So it’s a matter of personal preference

Just a more polished interface, solid stability, real good transcoding and a client on just about everything that installs an app lmao

If you and everyone you care about being on it have been fine with Jellyfin, then there’s absolutely no reason to switch

It’s alright, but definitely needs a real good polish for more non-technical people.

Unless it’s changed recently however, it’s been maybe a year since I last looked

Among my top 3 repeated lines at work lol

3-2-1 backup rule

Jellyfin and Plex: “What am i? Chopped liver‽”

Jellyfin (Or Plex if you have to deal with the “Spouse Factor”) + Radarr and Sonarr + Usenet

Perfection, no annoying physical media to worry about, but you still get to keep the data you…uhh…“acquired”

Anybody remember the SHREK KETCHUP lolol

China, North Korea etc

Gotta love the tankies and China, just because the ruling “party” of China has the word “Communist” in their name doesn’t mean they’re not an authoritarian dictatorship lol

Exactly, UBI (or direct payments from the gov, whatever works ig) to support everyone’s basic needs. Housing properly sized to each family, food, water, electric, heating/cooling, healthcare and yes even internet. Maybe even a little extra disposable so people can have recreational activities and you know, live.

If you want luxury items, like the latest, greatest most expensive iPhone or whatever thats where you need to get a job to earn extra above the UBI

It worked with Modern Family because the show’s entire premise was about Families and when that’s the show’s premise then the reverse is true, Families without children are boring lol

It’s crazy to me how wildly varying Subways can be, all the Subways in my area are fairly decent and I like them.

I particularly like Subway because of the choice of veggies, I literally say “all veggies” at the veggies part and I know damn well I’m not even going to keep a fraction of the veggies at home. I can’t even keep lettuce good for very long before it goes nasty.

Um no, Tankies authoritarianism-based “Communism/Socialism” != Actual Communism/Socialism

I just need “Aliens come down and asks why the fuck we still have billionaires” and I can call bingo!

Now reset his router and see if he can get reconnected in < 30 seconds LOL

I’d pay YouTube if it were $5/month instead of $15.

It’s less than 5/month on the family plan IF you have 4 other people you’d like to share with

The family plan is the only reason I pay for premium lol.

Straight outta the scummy debt collector playbook
