why isn't this banned already?

Word... this is why I used spotify for a long time, when it used to be a good service... pirating wasn't worth the hassle.

now almost everything is worth the hassle

WinRAR

In Austria, he'd already be arrested... twice!

While I really wish for PixelFed to take off, like Mastodon and Lenmy did, the current situation, IMHO, is just confusing to say the least.

So, here are two pixelfed mobile apps, an older one which is just a wrapper of the web version, and a newer polished one.

I've the new "polished" one installed for a few months now, and it seemes as if it's development has stalled. The app just feels unfinished at this point.

Now, I get it, it's a volunteer project, and there are probably just a handful of people working on it. And this is totally fine, I'm not expecting them to deliver an Instagram clone anytime soon.

However, a few months ago, they announced "Loops", with pre-signups and some marketing yada yada... All this, while there's still an unfinished app for their core product. But, I went ahead and signed up, just to find out, it was just crickets for a few months.

Then, recently I logged in again (on the web), and saw an they have an App for Loops which seems to be in the works, and upon testing it, I came to the same conclusion, it's just an unfinished barebones TikTok.

Again, I'm not ranting about PixelFed, but IMHO, if they want to get serious, they should focus on one thing, until time and resources allow them to explore other things.

I would love to see it succeed as an alternative.

yeah... dish ... thank you ..

English isn't my first language, and I never used that word in a sentence to remember it.

Some people just don't want to store anything on their devices for whatever reason.

Can you turn the antenna to ___ insert satellite name ___ ?

For context

where I grew up, almost every immigrant houshold had a satellite antenna, to watch channels across the world. Since my parents were immigrants, we had to turn the antenna each time we wanted to watch either local news or news from our country of origin.

Odin doesn't play local content, instead it gets the streamable media directly from a debrid service like RealDebrid

RealDebrid and AllDebrid

It doesn't. It's nothing like any of these two. They provide local media content, Odin on the other hand streams media directly provided by the debrid service.

So, no downloading and hoarding involved.

Sure, there is that risk as well...but since it runs in a docker container, it's easier to pipe all these requests through a VPN tunnel. And yes, one could pipe all their network devices (or just the android box) through VPN.

But then again, the installed app, might also collect data from within the network, etc.

no local media collection.

Exactly. It gets the streaming links instantly from the debrid service.

It doesn't download anything and also does not fetch any local media. It uses jackett to scrape sites like 1337x.to for magnets, sends these magnets to realdebrid/alldebrid and gets a streamable link back which you can watch instantly.

By arr-suite.. I meant the automated setups that people do, to get stuff downloaded directly into the movies/shows folders, hoarding huge MKV files, etc... Sorry for the confusing wording.

I don't use the arr-suite myself, but I think you're on point. Since It doesn't download anything, and gets the streams directly from RD or AD, there's no need for overseer.

You .ight be careful though, because RD doesn't allow using their service from multiple locations at the same time (whatever thsat means)

Yeah... I mean, my stuff doesn't do anything illegal, at least I hope so.

Ther was some drama indeed, but nothing to worry about, especially if you use a VPN, throw-away emails and bitcoins.

in a nutshell, the French government wasn't happy about them providing instant links to video files. they then removed a feature from their api, and all seems good again.

Jellyfin uses the *arr suite, but Odin relies on a debrid service. The benefit is that nothing is hoarded on the device itself.

For USB sure... it's kinda "newish". But, I mean, they could've intervened much sooner, when glue became the standard for assembling phones.
