Remember, we got to loop it through Jones!

  • https://rutracker.org/ or https://mazepa.to/ if you're even more paranoid about getting caught using torrents.

    Both resources support English search, have well seeded netflix content and English audio tracks are always provided for English language content (just set your player to default to english). Rutracker especially has lots of niche/older content you simply won't find on streaming platforms. Mazepa has a lot less content (in context of niche/older productions), but its also less on the radar and netflix content is generally well covered.

    I don't know about North America, but in Europe you should be able to use both services via torrent streaming for most netflix content. Might even work in North America.

    You'll need to register on both, but it's not difficult with a webpage translator. There is a solid number of english language users on rutracker.

    Lot's of other options as well if you don't want to deal with foreign language; Usenet which requires a fee, private torrent sites (can be a pain to get into and maintain ratio though).

  • TIL, perhaps that's why I did enjoy both versions (with the remake being better IMO).

  • I thought the Dredd remake was really good and I normally do not like American comic book movies. I would even argue the remake felt a bit more realistic than the original (which was decent, but not great).

  • This looks really cool, thanks for sharing!

    I wonder if subs/VO is available the series in other languages.

  • I tend to be perhaps less anti-AI than most here (albeit I am probably even more distrustful of the large companies in this space), but just from watching the trailers, I found the AI generated scenes to be extremely distracting.

    The first association for me is some shitty YT video slop or scheme.

    I haven't watched it though and I am not going to watch it.

  • I didn't like the series, mostly because it was very vanilla. I would have much preferred if it was based on A Boy and his Dog, many of the 80s Italian Mad Max clones (2019, After the Fall of New York), Neon City and even something like Turbo Kid.

    An arguement can be made that to make social commentary effective you need a bit more subtly.

    Bethesda could have made a Fallout movie or TV show a decade ago, but "credit to Todd Howard," they refused Hollywood's offers until they found "the right partner"

  • Wow, it's fascinating that they can still achieve double digit growth.

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy tries something different, and I don’t hate it

  • Oh, I've been updating the SBCs. Although my current Pi 4 has been running for over 5 years, don't see a need to update to Pi 5.

  • It works great, I've been using a Pi SBC for torrenting for nearly 10 years now (in addition to NAS, a media server, Pi-Hole and more).

    I would strongly recommend going with DietPi. It has a great set of custom CLI management tools, very active developers and a relatively large community (150K+ installatios active last quarter). It's based on Debian for ARM so it has a solid foundation.

  • Sounds like a bad fit, even though I only want to share (it's some relatively rare content that took me some effort to procure in the highest quality that I believe is available).

  • Something like Qbittorrent-Nox or rTorrent/ruTorrent for Gnutella would be great.

  • The use of Limewire in this context seems to be more of an interesting news novelty.

    That being said, in any democratic leaning country that truly values freedom (in the real sense, not the polemical American sense), the distribution of such media would not be an issue and you wouldn't have to resort to Limewire, a torrent would suffice or even another broadcast TV network would air with violation of copyright.

  • You can stream popular torrents. It can be challenging with more niche content (unless you're on private trackers), but you're not going to find niche content streams in the first place.

  • For me personally, the OG pirating was buying bootleg VHSs/CDs/DVDs. But torrenting/P2P was the first mass scale digital piracy method.

  • It's still somewhat big in certain regions, even younger people torrent (although streaming piracy is more popular).
