Remember to seed your torrents and tell the mouse to fuck off.

Tell it a bedtime story from 1991 how a tiny little kernel changed the world forever

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Seed it as well

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

Time to download some more Linux ISOs.

This is a vintage joke that implies all the seeding of pirated torrent's a person is doing are just Linux iso's, i.e. something that is legal to share via p2p means.

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Indeed. Like my 100TB collection of Linux ISO's.

[-] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago

You never know when a distro hop is in order!

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

What’s your favorite Linux iso?

Is it the dragon ball z complete distro?

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm quite pleased with the Complete Blu-ray remaster of Star Trek: The Next Generation.iso

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

That’s great! I’m currently using the voyager distro, but in a bout 2 season (fall, winter) I’m going to switch to the tng distro for about 7 seasons.

Is it weird that I track time by seasons and not months or years?

[-] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

It's funny, when they announced their third price increase in as many months, it was the final motivation i needed to set up a NAS and Jellyfin. And because i have terabytes of storage, I downloaded the entire catalogue… of Linux distros. And I continue to seed them

[-] LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

This was our last streaming service we were hanging on to now we will move forward without watching any TV and I'm OK with that. These last few years are really forcing us to be a little healthier. Can't afford junk food, fast food, and now TV. It sucks but I refuse to he dragged down by the constant barrage of bad news.

[-] mayo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Does anyone have a dead simple tutorial/webpage to setup jellyfin? I always assume it needs a dedicated NAS and I'm not going to do that. I have spare laptops.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Can someone show me a simple way to share an external drive to Jellyfin in Ubuntu? It’s the last part I’m missing from my setup

[-] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

What do you mean by external drive in this case? USB? NAS? What have you tried already?

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

USB formatted to FAT32

The file path will not work in Jellyfin.

I’ve tried using the terminal to set a mount point that Jellyfin can use. Apparently the problem is that Jellyfin runs as its own user and so can’t see USB drives that my account connects.

…or something…? I’ve been trying off-and-on for months. I’m only a dabbler in Linux; getting this set up with an old laptop is my attempt to learn.

I’m so confused please help.

[-] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You need to:

  • create the mountpoint
  • mount the drive to the mountpoint
  • Give Jellyfin permissions to access the files there

Since you are using FAT32 which does not support file level permissions I guess this will show up as 'owned by root'. You will need to do something like this or this

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you! I’m at work now but will look in to this later :)

[-] mayo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the jellyfin link

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Disney and the rest of the streaming services can fuck off and welcome back piracy with their shenanigans.

Shame they're such greedy dumbasses that continue to kill the golden goose.

[-] Trilobite@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

My Plex server does not care if I share it

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Mine screams in pain, but that's just because it's chronically underpowered for multiple streams.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Netflix survived, now everyone else will follow

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Come hoist the grog with us

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

☠️ sail the 7 seas. I'm not giving anything to Amazon.

[-] valek879@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Did you know that Disney and Amazon are different companies?

They aren't even like owned by the same parents company. They are both the parent company of their particular set of companies.

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Woops... I meant Disney. And Amazon, for all that matters lol

[-] valek879@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Yarr harr matey it happens to us all!

[-] Anderenortsfalsch@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We share all our streaming services and so far nothing has happened because we don't use smart televisions but only dumb monitors connected to PC/laptop. They can't figure us out. I don't think I will ever use a tv again, first because we do not watch live tv anymore, second because smart TVs spy on us and on top try to put ads on and other shite. A mini PC in the living room looks cute, can play anything including local data and they can't tell if accounts are shared.

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Mickey is cute, but don't let that trick you, he'll slit your throat for a penny.

Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.

Expect use of strong language.

Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.

No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.

Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.

New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.
