Consider: Pirate everything. It’s just a race to the bottom. The average you can charge for an ad tiered service will just continue shifting up as each streaming service gently increases their ad-free prices. If it was ~$15/mo avg before this, now Netflix sees the avg price go to $15.57/mo. If you’re going to increase the price by 57¢ you might as well make it a nice round $1…Then Hulu sees the average go to $16.13 so then they need to increase their prices. So on and so forth until we’re back to paying $60/mo like we did for cable TV.

And here’s the kicker. They’re legally obligated to do this because they could be sued by shareholders for not trying to make more money. And that’s without mentioning that they actually prefer people to watch the ads because they generate more revenue from sponsored advertising. Pirating is ethical and cool. Paying subscription fees to trillion dollar corporations is cringe.

Fat fucking chance I’m eating a home cooked meal made by Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric. It would be fucking boiled potatoes, plain canned corn and green beans, and overcooked New York strip steaks.

Great username

Maybe I’m wrong but for the sake of trying to get you started down the right path until someone smarter than me answers for sure. I think you would need to configure a split tunnel on your device. Even then I don’t think that would work either. I think that “casting” just tells the display the server address and it tracks down the stream info. Your casting device then just functions as a remote through the network.

So even if It could work, you’re home network address would be compromised by the network traffic being sent to your display without a VPN.

Like another person has said, your best bet is more likely torrenting to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin then casting from your media server.

Great news just in time for Christmas!

Glad I could help! Learn something new every day!

Uh…sorry to sidetrack here, but do you know what penultimate means? Because in this context it would mean that Ukraine is the second to last good guy. Which doesn’t make much sense.

4 motors is more expensive than 1 motor and a bunch of gears

You’re a pleasant person. I hope you have a rock solid day

That’s a pretty staunch oversimplification. The republic was doing what almost all democratic republics are doing right now. The wage gap between the political elite and the common people was widening and the senate wanted status quo, but Julius Caesar was gaining popularity and large amounts of wealth by giving his soldiers better pay than most Roman commanders at the time and using their superior training to conquer Gaul and Spain.

Because of their pay, his soldiers were better trained, more loyal, and morale was kept high due in large part to his own fighting ability and tactical prowess. With each and every success on the battlefield he gained more followers. The Roman Senate grew jealous and thought he was a threat to the Roman way of life and exciled Caesar from the heart of the Roman empire. Caesar and his army could not cross the Rubicon River else he wage war with the empire itself. Caesar said, “F you guys, I’m taking over.” And installed himself as emperor of Rome after leading his army across the Rubicon and to the Roman Forum. He did alright for awhile, redistributing wealth and taking care of the Roman commonors but then the Roman elite started to do not so alright according to some conspirators and in turn decided Caesar should also not do alright, so they done killed him. Then his grand nephew Augustus took over as the “first emperor” 17 years later. And he did so alright that we collectively decided to name the month of August after him and July after his great uncle.

I see nothing wrong with example #2 if Jamaal’s got hops. Am I in the wrong?

I think I’ll probably end up using SSH after connecting to the network through wireguard.

Oh wow, I had no idea that even was an option. I’m pretty excited to sink my teeth into the arrs. It’s a little daunting having to set it up on a Linux server plus the networking, but still exciting.

Jack Dorsey didn’t really have a choice since Twitter is a public company and he made an offer that was way over the per share price. If he refused to sell, the stockholders could have filed a lawsuit for not acting in their best interest.

This comment isn’t helpful to anyone in anyway, but it IS funny

Yes. USB gives me a theoretical max of 480 MB/.A comparison HDD gives me about 8 more TB, but then I have to worry about the drives failing and a power supply.

That’s what the air pockets are for

Less power draw, more stable, so much faster…yeah, the only real advantage to actual platters now is capacity, but at these capacities you’re likely dealing with very large files, so the convenience of an SSD is worth paying for imo
