An Evangelion AMV to I’m Not Okay by My Chemical Romance. I even remember the user but I haven’t been able to find since it got wiped off YouTube over 10 years ago.

TIL. Thank you.

If you’re using a 3b just be aware that hevc and x265 files won’t play properly.

How was Curiosity Stream?

Personally I’m only paying for Spotify (while working away in the background to build my own collection) and Kayo, which is an Australian sports service. There is a little bit of fragmentation for sport in Australia but I’ve been lucky with Kayo as they’ve picked up stuff I was paying for elsewhere and it’s become better value over the time I’ve been subscribed.

Netflix is the only major one I’ve ever really paid for and their password gimmick was the straw that broke that for me.

Could try a better skin for Kodi

It’s not the most stable but when it works it works really well.

This is reassuring. Sounds like I’ll be good to go in a week when this download finally finishes.

Radarr/Sonarr to acquire most things. Still go around them where needed.

Then I use Kodi for all video. I don’t go off the main device enough to worry about a full server setup for it so I’ll just network share if I need to use another device.

Navidrome and substreamer for music in a proper server config with Tailscale tying it together.

It could still be worthwhile, just not as your only option. Do your local archiving as well but having it uploaded elsewhere could come in handy if the shit hits the fan.

Peertube, Nebula, Patreon, etc. You don’t have to use YouTube.

EZTV and EXT Torrents cover me alright. Nyaa.si for the anime side.

You can try looking at the archived version through Google if it’s a little bit older.

Just on your niche stuff like 1930s movies, have you checked Internet Archive? I’ve been surprised at some of the stuff I’ve found.

I’ll get rid of single episode anime at the end of the season because that’s when packs will take over what people download. I’ll keep seeding packs whenever I get them though.

Radarr does movies, Sonarr does tv.

You connect some trackers and your torrent client and then set them up to monitor for certain shows/movies. When it finds them it will automatically download them. It’s great for weekly tv or streaming dumps because they’ll just download when available.

You can configure them on what to search for too. So you can have preferred quality, preferred tracker, preferred keywords or language as well.

There are others that do music and books but I’m less familiar with them at this stage.

I understand your comment but may need an ELI5 after looking at their site.

Just need to hold about 4TB for a few months until I buy more hard drives. I didn’t think of a seed box though which could be an option.

Any luck with Anna’s Archive?

Can you get Mastodon and Lemmy working together? Like is there a way to see them in the same feed?
