It was just a matter of time for everyone to follow suit. Unfortunately, capitalism demands endless growth and thus eventually enshittification of products. They're not happy with just tons of money. They want all the money.

Expect to see adless tiers constantly rising in price every year. This will push users to piracy again as we come full circle to terrible cable fees.

Way ahead of you. been pirating for years.

Hello pB my old friend, time for us to meet again

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

A petabyte seems a bit excessive. A couple of 8tb drives is plenty enough for me

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

There is a show on Disney plus that I love, but sadly I can’t find it on pB. It’s not even that old, but it was funny as hell.

[–] antizero99@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago

Showrss.info as well.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Nope, sadly only random episodes are there. Or really Low quality.

[–] Fogle@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Play it, record it, keep it for yourself

The show is called “Black-ish”. I can only find low quality or random episodes. Not a complete series.

If you haven’t seen it, please give it a go. It’s wildly well done and really funny.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Searching BTDigg for "Black-ish" followed by "S1", "S2", etc leads me to 1080p season packs.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks!! I was not aware of that site.

This show is kinda special to me as I don’t live in America anymore and have not been back for a few years. This show really reminds me of American culture.

Hypothetically, a Sonarr/Radarr/Usenet/Plex setup is looking reeeeeeeeeeeeal nice right now.

[–] _eazedrop@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If one wanted to get into Usenet, where would they begin?

(I definitely do not have a Jellyfin server and entirely too much empty storage)

[–] Skyline969@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Well if a person wanted to use Usenet to download news and totally nothing else, they would need two things - a Usenet provider and an indexer. Both cost an annual fee, but it’s less than $100.

Newshosting for Usenet access, this gets configured in nzbget or sabnzbd as a news server. Then NZBGeek gets configured in Sonarr and Radarr as an indexer.

Enjoy your glorious news!

Remember when ISPs provided Usenet access as standard fare?

My, how times have changed.

[–] MrJukes@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

I definitely wouldn't recommend astraweb and drunkenslug. They barely have any news.

[–] Caboose20@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do people not use a VPN with Usenet at all? I have one for torrents to get my Linux ISOs but I just assumed I should also use one to get my news from Usenet.

[–] Skyline969@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Nope! The reason you need a VPN for torrents is because you’re also sharing the content. That’s how you’re tracked, mainly. Someone downloads a piece of your Linux ISO, they know you’ve got it.

Use SSL with Usenet and your traffic is encrypted. Good to go.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Torrents are better than usenet, change my mind. Especially when downloading older content

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So many old shows and movies with a single seed hosting at 80kb/s.

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

With your help, that can change into double seed! 👍

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

How old are we talking about? I've had better luck with Newsgroups. Download the file and it downloads full speed vs torrents.

[–] FreeBooteR69@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

I cancelled my annual subscription so past Jan no more Disney+ for me.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Welp Netflix went away and now Disney+. It's not even that I'm getting anything from the family members using the account but the principal of it.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Extract profit, screw building value

🎶being a pirate is all right with me🎶

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

Oh no! Anyways

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Well Netflix did it and had one good quarter so let's try it too.

One of them will need to go.

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there anything on Disney+ that I can't watch for free on Stremio?

I don't even need an account on Stremeio. No password needed.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Ok, but what kind of tracking and whatnot are they doing?
