Their caption “look, it’s all my favorite streaming services on one platform!” Is probably better than mine lol

Want to hear some BS?
I wanted to watch a show that’s on Netflix and Hulu.
Started with Netflix. They don’t have all the episodes.
Went to Hulu. Their app wasn’t showing subtitles correctly.
I went to pirate it. And it just fucking worked.
What the fuck.

Go to your public library and rent a movie for free.

There’s usually a wait.

I don’t want to just see the content. I want them to know I stole it.
(Please support your local library though)

It’s not free it’s 12 bucks a year ☝️😌
Where are you located?
Mines is free. Video games. Movies. You can use their equipment lab like the the 3D printer. All free.
I have to pirate the prime video shows even though I have amazon prime. It just won’t let me watch at more than 480p because I use the evil LINUX.
Yep, that’s my journey as well.
Only with Jellyfin and the *arrs, because I do like a nice UI.
What is *arrs?
it’s referring to a stack of software for media management. sonarr for tv shows, radarr for movies, lidarr for music, etc. they help automate the download and organization of media. highly recommend checking them out!
That top meme is how it was back in the day… Then all the media started fragmenting…
Brooklyn 99 on Netflix is a prime example.
Seasons 4-8 are on Netflix. No idea where 1-3 are.
So that bottom meme is how it’s going now
Stremio real debrid make a good team also.
TorrAppleTV is fine as well (as much I despise everything Apple).
All kidding aside, AppleTV os the goat. Very little slop (unlike netflix), varied content (unlike Amazon), no endless pointless sequels and spinoffs (unlike Disney+). I hate apple, but credit where it’s due, AppleTV rules.
For two very important reasons. Apple doesn’t make shit, they don’t sit in the writers’ room, they don’t produce, they don’t interfere with the creation of their originals on any level. They buy IP rights and then hire experts to do all the work.
The second reason is Apple is spending more per episode of their originals than anyone else, including Netflix.
Sanctity of the creative process and a whole lotta money will get you very good content.
Hi, if you want to set up a safe, fully-automated streaming service that you can connect to from any device, reach out to me. The only cost to you is the VPN and hard drives if you already have a computer.
You can have your own media server that automatically downloads all the new episodes of shows you want across all streaming services, and your friends and family can even request movies/shows they want to see from a web UI and those will also be automatically downloaded. All using free and open source software. Completely ad free.
Anyone here that also knows how to set this up should also offer to help others, as it is pretty much the only way to break free from streaming services.

I don’t have the knowledge to do this reliably as I do not have the money for my own setup. But I do offer free Linux support! :D
(I’m not a wizard it’s just basic support)
Carrot, if you are able to point us torrent-curious folk in a direction, that would be most appreciated. (I currently have a Superbox, but have used Plex in the past.)
Sure. If you are comfortable with computers, this should be a breeze. I currently use Docker as my server platform, which can run on top of any OS you want, but I run it on debian. I run a Gluetun container + Mullvad for VPN, qBittorrent as the torrent client, Jellyfin for media, Jellyseerr for user requests, Sonarr for TV management, Radarr for movie management, and Prowlarr for torrent indexers. All of these run on separate docker containers. There’s some trickiness for getting all the sketchy traffic going through the VPN, but there are plenty of guides out there, and in DMs I’m willing to offer support, albiet pretty slowly. If you have used Plex in the past, you can replace Jellyfin + Jellyseerr with Plex + Overseerr and the rest of the system can stay the same (although plex has been making some weird moves lately, and isn’t free or open source, so I’d stick with Jellyfin if you can get past a relatively ugly UI).
The nice thing about this setup is it’s pretty easy to expand to music, ebooks, and audiobooks as well, but for those media types there is less automation for user requests. I haven’t had any issues with scaling up either, I’ve currently got 150+ TB of media.
I tried to do this with Windows but ran into issues with the Docker networking. Tempted to try again on a NAS box
I don’t have experience on Windows, but I will send you my docker compose files that automagically set up the networking between containers sometime tonight. Basically I’ve got a gluetun container, and all morally ambiguous traffic routes through that container.
Alldebrid + Kodi/Stremio
Gives you the convenience of a streaming app with the massive catalog you get from pirating.
Does it give live tv as well? I’m looking for mlb games mostly
Kodi + Mad Titan Sports addon
Usenet >
Kinda? Kind of bad for anything that’s new though but anything that’s older than the last decade it is amazing.
Stremio.
Possibly not for long. French gov is cracking down on real debrid. Unless there’s another host with torrentio plug-in, stremio might be gone :(.
