I have a pretty advanced setup. Big dual xeon server with 40TB of drives. Dockerized everything running radarr, medusa, deluge, jackett, vpn etc. I'm a pixel snob and love the 4k remuxes with lossless Dolby sound for my Atmos speaker setup.
BUT I read about stremio toreentio and RD a few times here in this community and thought I'd install it on my NVIDIA shield.
And we use it ALL THE TIME!
It's just so easy even for someone with my hugely automated setup.
It's perfect for anything you're probably only going to watch once.
The Sopranos, The Wire, Better call Saul... Yeah download it cause I rewatch it often.
Fboy Island or whatever guilty pleasure reality tv garbage... Stremio it is.
1917 or The Godfather. Download highest quality. Legally Blonde for movie night with my daughter .. stremio.
I'm curious why someone who is able to afford 40TB of drive space is interested in piracy. Is it more about archiving and ownership than saving a buck?
I'm subscribed to 4 different streaming services and it's still not everything. Also I'm not giving Rupert Murdoch a cent for all the damage he's done to Australia. And Foxtel is owned by him and the only way to get any HBO shows for instance. And even if you paid them they only do 1080p.
I'm not the guy above, but I dont see how they're comparable really. One is god knows how many monthly subscriptions for the rest of time, or the up front cost of storage.
I'm in Australia and no VPN for stremio because I use real-debrid. As I understand it I'm just direct downloading from there. If I didn't have RD and had to torrent for stremio I'd use a VPN for sure.
Yeah good point. As I just subbed to Easynews which comes with free PrivadoVPN, just configured qbittorrent to use Privado :) Super easy with Docker and https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun
Kia ora! I would also like to know this. Been sailing the torrential seas for decades now without a VPN. Although I do remember some years ago about a law change (something something National something something The Hobbit something something DMCA something something tax writes off's) where we got a letter from our ISP warning us about the law change and not to do anything naughty or we would receive a DMCA notice. Nothing has ever come of it since. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I think it doesn't have priority at the moment. It used to be a three strike thing anyway so if you get a first strike you can easily enable vpn then :)
I guess you are not renting that setup from someone, right? (colo?) I am asking because I have been renting a dedicated server from Hetzner for a few years now (one AX line, other from auction - got a good disc space with it) and with the price hike it's getting a bit costly (and can't self-host).
