fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.
I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.
I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.
Losing fmovies wasn't the bad thing as there are dozens of clones. It's the hosting services that really took a hit. The reliable ones have been down for a while. The ones left buffer much slower and can't handle peak times as well. Those years with fmovies really felt like the golden age of piracy.
Pay for piracy? That'll get ya the plank!
Generally I agree. But I'd be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.
The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.
That's what I do
Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)
Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.
I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it'll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.
Let's go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.
I'd never pirate myself, obviously, but a friend in a restrictive country is interested in this. Is there an "easy to get started" guide for him?
I'd recommend TraSH-Guides
There also is the Servarr Wiki
Thank you! I'll have a look! I mean my friend will 😂
The first paragraph hits so hard. "That show is with this service now, but only the last season. If you want to ~~each~~ watch all of them you'll have to get three subscriptions"
Fuck off...
What'll be the min spec for the setup? Can it be run from a pi 4, for example?
Thanks 💖
Thank you! Maybe it's time to replace my pi Armada with a proper server and ~~proximity~~ proxmox.
I meant to write proxmox, but my keyboard seems to disagree.
Yeah, they're awesome when they're the right tool. But you need to switch once your needs outgrow them.
MegaVideo was the golden age
there's fboxz it's an exact clone of fmovies.
