I feel validated.

it's important to teach your children the importance of a healthy seed to download ratio.

I never clued in when I was a kid in the 90s but we had a collection of all kinds of Disney movies on VHS tapes with handwritten labels and usually 2 or 3 movies per tape. I just thought that was normal.

I'm sure my kids will just think their Jellyfin library is normal.

My kid's always asking my ex, "Mom, why don't you just get Jellyfin? It has, like, everything."

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I know she's your ex and all but you haven't shared / set them an servarr stack / Jellyfin up yet?

Booooo, Pirates of the high seas share their knowledge regardless of the person :p

[–] drhoopoe@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 9 hours ago

Believe me I've tried.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 8 hours ago

We'd just tape them off the TV though, so halfway through you'd get an advert for a DFS sale that must end this Sunday, or that bizarre one about milk (Accrington Stanley, who are they?)

I later found out that they'd put these tapes on for us when they wanted to be left alone for a few hours. And we watched them a lot. Not sure what was more worn out by the end, the tape or my dad.

Wait is this not normal hahaha

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Ha! Ha! And yet, it's all YIFY files!

[–] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 80 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My kids ask when I'm adding a movie to Jellyfin all the time

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Same. My two older kids (teenagers) will come to me with literal lists of albums and TV shows 😂

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 4 points 11 hours ago

If my parents were hosting Jellyfin, I'd have done the same.

Though in my family, I'm far more likely to be the one hosting, and receiving requests

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 day ago

Mine doesn't care about jellyfin yet. Soon though.

This is why I had to go edit all my media's metadata and even edit themoviedb.com with proper MPAA ratings.

Also why I have early childhood, late childhood, and screening libraries for both movies and shows in my jellyfin.

[–] EstrangedMoistness@beehaw.org 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'm thinking about doing that! My 2 year old is still too young for that, but when he's ready, I hope I am too! Do you have any tips for organizing your library like that? Did you use commonsensemedia or sites like that?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I recommend just thinking of the things you liked as a kid or you that you think might teach your kid something you think is important and watch it first (screen) Then place it into the appropriate library.

I've been using two separate libraries, "early childhood" which kinda works out to g ratings (3-7 years) and "late childhood" which is kinda like PG (7+) but there is overlap since something's are just not rated or sometimes I disagree with the rating.

You'd be surprised how many things for kids might not teach them anything worth while or might induce nightmares. So I just don't put those into the kids libraries. Once you have media stored in children libraries, then you can make a child account for jellyfin if you want.

Obviously, research what screen time does to children and decide for yourself how much screen time you feel your child should have. Personally, I don't even turn in a screen around my child until we spend 2 hours outside and then its only for 15 mins of passive watching a day. I also like to use animation for children as its good at portraying emotions. Also after we watch something we talk about it. Episodes of Bluey and most studio Ghibli films work well with this method.

Thanks for the heartfelt response! I'm almost done with screening Bluey (loving it) even though I don't plan on putting my kid in front of a screen for as long as possible ("Screens: the later the better" is our motto for now)

My kid is the only one in the cul-de-sac with Minecraft. We have quite the popular couch this month.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 14 points 21 hours ago

If I ever have a kid they will be the one that has friends over for Minecraft LAN parties.

[–] Archangel1313@lemm.ee 32 points 1 day ago

So true, man. So true.

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess it's some onion style website. The 20k fine made me not believe the story, otherwise it was totally believable, i know multiple guys who behave like this

[–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it’s a satire site that got big in punk rock circles some years ago making fun of the Punk and Hardcore scene.

I didn’t know it was still going.

Edit: there it is! https://thehardtimes.net/about/

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

They even have a video game spinoff hard-drive.net

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just set up AndroidTV so they can watch ad-free YouTube.

Still need a better setup for extracting Amazon video without ads.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 6 points 19 hours ago

My kids are so used to ad-free YouTube, they nag me when it breaks.
