They’re a publisher whose content is hosted on their own streaming service. It’s classic vertical integration.

I think the current model is better actually, because then the streaming services have to compete with each other on content, user experience, and price.

This way, you only need to subscribe to the streaming services that have the shows you’re currently watching, and can cancel whenever you’re done with those shows, until the next one comes along.

If a streaming service bundles multiple studios shows together, then you’re paying for a ton of content you may not even care about, just like how cable is.

At the end of the day, unless someone is watching hours and hours of tv a day, it’s unlikely they need to simultaneously subscribe to 7 streaming services.

isn't about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have.

But you can argue that part of what makes a streaming service a good product, is the literal product they produce, their content.

Is this an issue for the iOS app as well? I'm guessing it's not, since mine is only using 80mb of space.

Anna's Archive just added an academic papers feature called SciDB: https://annas-archive.org/

This is why it's more and more important to have tools like BitMagnet that allow you self host it, and crawl/index the DHT to essentially have your own torrent search database that doesn't rely on 3rd party trackers.

Just pulled the latest and tried again, and it works now! Thanks

Dude this is amazing! Exactly the sort of thing I've been hoping would pop up to further "decentralize" the torrent search experience.

So I'm trying to run it on my machine through the docker-compose option, and I'm seeing something weird. It shows as successfully running, but when I go to the port it should be running on, I get "unable to connect" on my browser.

When I check my containers running, it shows the 3 bitmagnet containers, but the port doesn't show.

You can now install Tailscale on AppleTV. Tailscale is a sort of personal VPN service that allows you to directly connect your personal devices to each other over the internet. tvOS 17 added support for VPNs to run on Apple TV.

What this means in the case of AppleTV region coding:

If for example, you have a computer at home that's running tailscale, and you take your AppleTV with you while on vacation in let's say, Egypt, you can set Tailscale on your AppleTV to use the Tailscale node on your home computer as an exit node, and you'll be able to stream Hulu on that AppleTV in your hotel in Egypt normally because the traffic is tunneling through your computer back home in the US, and it thinks that's where you're located.

Normally with commercial VPNs, that wouldn't work because Hulu/Netflix/etc have a list of IP addresses associated with VPN services, and so they'd detect youre connected to that VPN and block you from using it. But in the case of tailscale, the IP address they see is that of your computer back home, so they don't think you're connected to a VPN.

This can also theoretically help get around Netflixes password sharing restrictions, because if the account owner runs an exit node on their AppleTV, and the other password sharers set their AppleTVs to use that owners AppleTV as their exit node, Netflix will think the logins are all coming from the same IP address located in one place.

Ah good to know, thanks!

Ah yeah i stand corrected:

“Prior to the seed round, Bluesky's website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by Graber and other Bluesky employees.[33] Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp.”

The real reason for their struggles in always sunny is because “who are they going to vote for to fix things? The democrat who's going to blast them in the ass? Or the republican who's going to blast them in the ass? Either way, politics is all one big ass blasting.”

I use PodGrab, and think it’s great for saving local copies of podcast episodes to your server:

This is exactly how Lemmy works, yet you’re here…

Are you referring to Jack Dorsey? He's not the owner, he just gave them grant money in the beginning. It's a non-profit so technically no individual "owns" it.

How so? that’s the much bigger instance.

Sorry to nitpick, but I see the comparison of a company market cap with country GDP a lot and it's a pet peeve of mine lol. Market cap is the value of the company, while GDP is equivalent to the total "revenue" that a country's economy generated that year. So a better comparison would be 2022 Microsoft revenue vs 2022 GDP of a country.
