  • Worth also mentioning the Tolkien estate is notoriously letigous. There are piracy sites that specifically ban Tolkiens works from being uploaded for that very reason.

  • Yeah voting is largely useless. But the gallows don't happen without a revolution, which doesn't happen without people getting in the streets (protest).

  • I use rtorrent with Flood as the frontend web ui.

  • I've always used claw grip. Just feels the best for FPS.

  • Hamas is a direct result of Israel's actions. If Israel hadn't carried out an apartheid for the last 70 years Hamas wouldn't even exist. It doesn't help that Israel directly funded Hamas in favor of secular liberation groups.

  • If you go the full Linux desktop route, I recommend installing a hypervisor like proxmox to make it easy to spin up and manage VM's and containers off the bare metal.

    A lot more work to setup than a NAS like Synology, but having some more control over the setup and tailoring it to your needs makes it worth it imo.

  • You good dude?

  • You don't need jellyfin and Plex. They both do the same thing, so just pick one.

    And per the torrenting; isn't the point of using Debrid that you're NOT torrenting? You're letting the service provider do the torrenting for you and they just serve up the file to you via direct download over https. And in this case, your IP isn't exposed in the same way it is when you torrent.

  • Fair enough, I'm certainly not about to disagree on the profitability of gambling (for the house specifically).

  • I'm not all that familiar with Debrid and you're not exactly clear on what the issue is. But I will mention that I don't think jellyseerr will work for you in this setup. Jellyseerr is meant to work with sonarr/radarr. It looks like to request content you have to add it to your watchlist in Plex instead.

    As for VPN, isn't the point of Debrid to avoid torrenting and direct download only? VPN probably isn't necessary, but if you're paranoid then just make sure only the Debrid rclone is going through the VPN, you don't want Plex to go through the VPN as then you won't be able to connect to it from your LAN.

  • Soooo whats the point of this ? Is it supposed to stop you from pirating the content from their sites . If so how exatcly when you can just literaly record screen ? I honestly struggle to understand the purpose of this.

    Well, it kind of depends on the exact type of DRM being used. But yeah, some types of streaming DRM can be circumvented with a screen capture, but these will always be worse quality. There are two types for movies and shows you'll see online when the source is a streaming site, either WEB-DL or WEB-Rip. WEB-Rip is sourced via a screen capture, I'm not super familiar, but there exists a standard called HDCP which is supposed to protect the content at the hardware/HDMI level. My understanding is this is largely ineffective as the HDCP master encryption keys have been in the public for quite some time. WEB-DL is when the raw video/audio is downloaded from the streaming provider and decrypted through some means, this is where defeating the browser-based (often Widevine) DRM often comes into play.

  • Lootboxes are legalized gambling for minors. So yeah, no shit it works. Just because a thing is profitable doesn't make it good. The opioid epidemic proved very profitable, but just like gambling for kids, doesn't make it a thing we should accept or want for our society.

  • Yes, that is how it works under capitalism.

    Under socialism however, the state funds labor based on needs and/or desires for the output of that labor (the commodity). In this case, the money isn't used for the goal of making more money, therefore, this isn't capital at all. And yet, the labor happens and the commodity created. Therefore, the production is independent of the capital.

  • Lol, there's plenty of opportunity to make money under socialism. You just have to do the labor. Under capitalism, however, there exists opportunity to derive money from other people's surplus labor value, for example, I can pay a worker $4 to make a thing that requires $1 in supplies and sell that for $10. That difference of $5 is stolen surplus value from the laborer. Socialists seek to abolish this parasitic relationship.

  • While certainly capitalist, Denmark and Sweden use the nordic model which tends to lean pretty social-democrat/welfare-state.

    Not to mention, much of bribery under capitalist states is legalized and codified. For example, I'm guessing their study didn't consider Super-PACs as a form of corruption or bribery. Even though that's clearly what they are.

  • And I'd like to thank you for your hard work. Voyager has been my main client since before it was called Voyager!

  • Even if we suppose that's true, you're still failing to illustrate how capital is necessary for production under socialism.

  • Within the confines of capitalism I would probably agree. But under socialism, production happens independently of capital accumulation.
