Show of your Piracy Workflow (Movie/TV) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm wondering about what your piracy workflow looks like.

  1. Where do you find what shows/films to watch?
  2. Do you stream for convenience or download for superior quality?
  3. Where do you store media?
  4. What software are you using to watch it?
  5. How do you keep track of your watchlist, which episode you already watched or where you left off in a movie?

I have Netflix and Disney+ (through family) and it already drives me crazy to remember where which show is available, download quality sucks, shows get delisted halfway through watching them. Sometimes multiple seasons even are across multiple streaming services. (I was very sad before I discovered there were more than 4 seasons of Adventure Time). I even want to pay for the production of good media, but streaming services make it a really hard sell 🤬

I know that the -arr suite with jellyfin is a pretty nice workflow, but I'm not into self hosting (yet).

Is your laptop running a Server os or is it still usable as a normal laptop?

[–] TrueStalinistPatriot@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it's running arch (which can be both it doesn't have a DE or a WM installed but it could have) my main computer also runs on arch (with i3 although I wouldn't really recommend it to a novice that's not interested in this kind of stuff you'd probably be better off with KDE) and "it's still usable as a normal computer"

I’m more a fan of Hyprland myself, but i3 is a great and mature WM. Currently I use KDE, at least until I bother to get an AMD GPU so I can switch to using Hyprland and not have to watch Obsidian and Discord fight with Wayland constantly.

I used hyprland for a while but I switched because the developer is transphobic and that caused controversy long story short hyprland is abandoning wlroots which also caused performance issues for me so for now I'm using i3 because there's simply no good Wayland compositor that will work with proprietary Nvidia drivers (and nouveau still lacks in performance)

edit: you can make it look good (transparency rounded corners etc) with picom

I didn’t know about the transphobia, thanks for telling me.
