Why store media locally? Whenever you want you can just download it or pirate-stream it
EDIT
haha y'all downvoters got me rollin 🤣
"Why store anything? Just re-download it from someone who's still storing it!"
You see the catch 22 here?
These are the people that torrent without port forwarding capable VPNs and tell others they don't need it because "it works fine!"
What's wrong with not using port forwarding?
You'll only be able to upload to people who do have port forwarding. Other people who don't have it setup won't be able to download from you even though it shows you as a seeder in the pool.
Oh yikes. Thanks for explaining!
Its truly so sad seeing mullvad recommended all over piracy websites...
As someone who went with the Mullvad suggestion despite having heard about port forwarding, I think a big part of why is because whenever it comes up people don't take the time to explain why port forwarding is important. Until I asked in this thread the only thing I'd seen is some vague handwaving about it being faster.
I've only just dipped my toes in so maybe this is off base, but the community seems to have an elitism problem. If the people who know are dismissive of ignorant noobs who want to learn, the long term health of the community suffers for it.
You can't seed properly.
Streaming sites go down all the time and the quality is usually terrible. Downloading the same stuff every time you want to watch it is just wasting the seeders bandwidth.
If you don't hold it, you'll eventually lose it. Plus sharing is loving, and if you don't have it you can't share it.
How do you stream it if nobody downloads it to seed things? The whole premise of seed ratios isn't just a bragging score, it's aiding the communal health.
Besides, I have around 60 TB of space here, that'll hold several versions of damn near every Linux distro out there for a while, it'd be a shame to waste it.
60 TB is really great.
Planning on creating such setup. Mind sharing your current setup and howw you maintain it ?
I am thinking which drives and what size and backup system to use.
Just part of a lab built over the years. Primary storage is a Dell R730XD filled mostly with 12 TB drives all set up in a ZFS array comprised of mirror vdevs, so redundant by default plus the built in ZFS snapshots for the rare need for a rollback on a dataset.
It only recently got that big because I had a mixed set of drives going back years and finally decided to work on getting them all to the same size and picked 12 as a good cost/volume balance, can find them at used server parts shops for a bit over $100 each.
Major risk is I don't have a good auto alert for smart monitor issues, so just make sure to occasionally manually copy the vital stuff like photos to an external drive.
I have a 1tb hd. And a 1 tb backup. Manually switch on backups.
That's pretty well what I started with 20 years or so ago, had them in some little box with some funny Nvidia CPU. That go upped to a pair of 3 TB that have somewhere around 10 years uptime on them if I recall by now, and kind of spiraled from there. Rsync on a schedule is nice for that.
Ratio is also for bragging ;)
Just as a side effect.
I'm not talking about streaming it from p2p, I'm talking about streaming it from pirate sites that make money on ads (which i have blocked)
Those get taken down on a regular basis. Not to mention the atrocious bitrates that is all they can manage.
Meanwhile, a high quality BluRay rip on my drive ain't going anywhere.
Because the quality is terrible. All of those streaming sites are pulling from the same hosting sources, and are usually very low quality YIFY rips (or an equivalent).
Guess who you stream the data from using debrid services: From us seeders keeping it alive.
Damn leechers
No, i stream from pirate streaming sites, not p2p
And where do those get the movies from?
From the interwebz /s
You see that single upvote? That's me. But only because of your brutal honesty.
I did not brush my teeth today. I threw batteries in the trash. I'm proud of you, man.
Because I like things to look good on a TV and surround system, not a phone with a tinny speaker.
You have no idea what this community is about, clearly. Keep on enjoying your leeching, just don't act like you could do it without actual seeders and archivers doing the work.
Dude, read the thread before you comment. I'm not leeching.
Your actions make you a leech on the system we participate in, "pirate streaming" is definitely leeching. Read the context before you reply.
