Exactly why I run Kodi on my firetv
Hmm, pay $20 a month apiece for 20 different shitty streaming services that use ads, or $6/month for Usenet access and $1/month for indexer access, and get every movie and TV show for nothing extra…
Choices, choices.
What’s the easiest/best way to start with UseNet? I’ve wanted to give it a try for the longest time - but it just feels like such a daunting task to try and figure out…
It’s not complicated. The Usenet provider gives you access to Usenet, and the indexer lets you search it for whatever you want. You then download it with a Usenet client. You can do it manually, much the same way as you download a torrent from any site. if you’ve downloaded a torrent before, you would be able to manage Usenet with no issues at all.
Or, if you’re willing to spend a few hours setting up the Servarr apps on an old computer like I did, you can automate the whole thing. I recommend this option, because you do it once and then you have a seamless way to fetch files from torrent and Usenet both without ever doing anything more than typing in the name of the show/movie. The Servarr apps search for, download, and import media into my library so that I can stream them to all my devices using Jellyfin (or Plex, if you like corpo apps). They even fetch proper subtitles for everything, and I also have it set up so after I’ve watched an episode, it’s deleted to make room for something else. It’s as easy as Netflix, at a fraction of the cost.
Would you like to see a film? It’s $60 to enter the movie theater. A chair to sit in is $10. You wanted to see the film? You need the glasses to unscramble the screen image. $40. Audio? That’s for due paying subscribers $4.99/mo. You want to exit the theater? $120. In case of fire? Cleaning up your ashes generates a $200 fee.
Huge library of [legally acquired] digital media is nice too
What are you talking about? Of course I got the BIOS from my PS2 using a flash drive. Of course I manually backed up physical games I own. I would never illegally download.
I bought a Chinese made emulation device for $60 and it came with all the games and firmwares I would ever want or need. It was then I knew China is the shit.
Oh, I bought it from Amazon to boot.

We may have our differences, but we are all very anti-corporate.
The average US household spent over $500/yr on streaming services in 2024, which was actually down YOY!
At that sort of expense, you would be much better served buying (or if you’re technically minded - building) a NAS at home and then just…
… yaaar! 🏴☠️
That way, you keep access to the media without having to worry about licenses expiring or the internet going out.
Yes, remember it is totally immoral to pirate things from corporations who actively make everything worse for everyone.
Here’s a guide to what sites you should avoid so you don’t accidentally get movies, shows, books, music, etc. without paying FMHY.net
yeah, i avoid such sites a lot. Especially brocoflix.com . It’s an atrocious site that lets u watch movies for free.
I’m a bit old school with things like this.
I’d much rather avoid downloading a 4k rip and watching it offline.
But I’ll be sure to avoid these sites, too, if I’m ever in the mood to watch something when I’m away from my ‘linux iso storage and acquisition’ machine.
Or you can buy it for $30, but no you can’t have a digital copy. And if, in the future, the service folds, then you can no longer watch it.
That reminds me, I love the hannya/jolly roger fusion on Majima’s flag in the upcoming Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii! (Which I would not be pirating even if it weren’t Denuvo)

Arrr!
Wow! I only realized now why the *arr software (radarr, sonarr, bazarr …) are named like that despite using them for years.
Thanks for the epiphany.

This service is not available in your country.
Blocked on .world.
It’s really time to switch.
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (blocked by lemmy.world instance)
Damn, I’m on world. Where should I move to? Been getting tired of world’s bs
I mean lemmy.dbzer0.com, the instance that is hosted on. I mean, an intance that allows that probably doesn’t have much bullshit authoritarianism. The instance owner is a self-declared anarchist, although, if you are a “right-wing anarchist” (or other right-wing ideologies) you might not like it here.
Other options are:
sh.itjust.works
sopuli.xyz
Sound like the place for me. Thanks stranger.
I went from world to shitjustworks. Big worth.
So it does, in fact, work?
Best run instance in the fediverse matey :-)
Sometimes it isn’t even available to rent, but you can buy for $30
Unless you read the fine print, which redefines buying as “not buying, but give us the money anyway”
