Then just subscribe for that month and then cancel. We switch around from all of them; one month netflix, next month HBO, apple the next, etc… Don’t understand why people keep the subscriptions when they dont use the service…

Not a time loop game but has one of the best time loop levels of any game I have played - Titanfall 2.

Was only lit from below. It was a stock image from a duck duck go search - something like neon desktop background.

Many many thanks! First time I have won a photo competition. Lovely to be a member of such talented people and love this little corner of the internet.

Congratulations! Well deserved!

What if your seedbox is located in the Netherlands? (Mine is…)

Been using Plex for years as bought the Plex lifetime deal when it was on offer many many moons ago. Is jellyfin any better? (My biggest concern with Plex is that they have a list of all my content I believe so not happy about that).

Should add use a nvidia shield with an external hard drive with all the content on it and stream to other android devices (fire sticks).

Just went down a rabbit hole… Turns out IPTorrents give a different torrent file for each user so it’s independent of IP address. It’s the torrent client that reports back the down and upload volumes. Now need to see if this info could be used by the rights holders for claims…

That makes sense but leads me to another question… How do site like IP torrents track the user upload / download ratio? Say if I were to log in and use my home internet connection to download a torrent file from there and then use a seedbox to do the download the contents? It can’t be IP based as the IP’s would be different; is each torrent file downloaded different for each user?

Many thanks for sharing Kathie. Been looking for a music player that was actively supported and open source. (Am old school and used Winamp in the past for the mp3 collection)

If I were to torrent I could see myself using a seedbox for the downloading and uploading but sure I would be lax when it came to visiting the torrent site so my ip address would likely be captured… ;-)

On a similar note how safe is it to use private torrents such as IPTorrents? They obs keep a log of users and upload/download stats and probably the torrents downloaded and ip addresses. Surely rights holders would be better off going after this data no?

Fully agree with you! My point was that it isn’t just the likes of Amazon that do this. If we look to piracy it’s growing in areas where a paid for service is either split across several providers or isn’t convenient.

I no longer pirate games or music as the paid for services are way easier to use and value for money.

The movie and tv companies started to have this when Netflix started but now there’s too many services and even on the same service the catalogues are different depending upon location. So instead of getting a share of revenue they get nothing.

It’s the same with steam games and other online stores. You are granted a licence to use the software; not to own it.

The nail in the coffin for me was the rules engine. You can no longer apply rules to messages you sent. I have a rule that moves my sent messages into the inbox as to be able to file all mails into categories such as “requires attention”, “waiting on someone else”, “expenses”, etc.

Couldn’t find an option to bcc myself on each mails either which would have achieved the same.

This is the way I have worked for years and is my natural workflow so is critical for me.

Let’s sing all together:

Have you ever met Reddits Spez? He’s the biggest cunt in the whole wide world, (La-la-la-la-la-la-la) He’s a mean ol’ cunt and he has wangy eyes, He’s a cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt.

Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, He’s a stupid cunt! (Woah!)! Reddits Spez is a cunt, And he’s such a dirty cunt! (Cunt!)!
