Lmao I'm in the middle of showing my teenager how to pirate and why it is morally justifiable to not pay for Marvel movies.

Too bad lots of them are probably in 720x400 resolution (700-1400mb avi encoded 20 years ago) ._. cough cough cough

That's the only thing stopping me from hoarding petabytes of movies. They're going to be in an outdated format anyway before I get to see them.

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.

[–] drhoopoe@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 7 points 1 day 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 13 points 1 day ago

Believe me I've tried.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day 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

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago

I feel validated.

[–] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 89 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] themachinestops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Use Jellyseerr will make your life easier, streamline the approval process.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but then you'd have to live with clicking Accept on Skibidi Toilet: The Movie

[–] themachinestops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

They are making a movie, god help us all, also this will never get approved in the house.

Ah, wonderful, a Jellyfin equivalent to Overseerr!

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day 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 28 points 2 days ago

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

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 52 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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 1 day 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 5 points 1 day 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.

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

[–] manicdave@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

I'm already planning a Minecraft world with my 7 month old. Been trying to find a TV that allows multiple HDMI connections so we can do three way split screen with the wife when he's old enough.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

So true, man. So true.

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days 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 33 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 15 points 2 days ago

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

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 days 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 8 points 2 days ago

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

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

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