My teenage son came out, his Muslim friend through primary and secondary school disowned him because it was against his religion to be friends with him.

Fuck all religions, every one of them

If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong

I don't think I am, it's Usenet and a VPN, and costs less than my Spotify Family account.

2 things, one of which has already been said

Get an SSD and a usb cable for it. Boot off that. Be aware that not all cables are the same (have a Google for usb 3 SSD cables for home assistant before you buy one). There's a little song and dance you have to do to boot off ext SSD but it's not hard and doesn't take long (Google).

That combo will eliminate the SD card issues in the future. But you also need to look into the Google Drive backup add-on. Get that for when shit goes down.

With those two things you should be all set and eliminate this ever happening again. If it does you have a backup.

A laptop with an hdmi, stremio and a real Debrid account.

Simple

I'll be honest and say that most of my self hosted music collection was pirated or ripped from CD like 20 years ago. I put it all on an iPod back then.

I found the iPod gathering dust in a drawer when I finally got a car with a usb jack a couple years ago (yeah I'm not exactly laden with bags of cash over here) and recently pulled all that music back onto my newly set up media server.

I have a Spotify family account I'm trying to phase out with resistance from the children.

To support artists I go and see them when they tour and buy a ludicrously expensive t-shirt

Fuck Boris and what Boris thinks. He's a sweaty fuck-knuckle riddled with bell end cheddar

Yeah my wife's Granny would buy me some every year. Then she died and now I don't get socks at Christmas and it makes me sad. Not because I want socks, I want Granny Babs back

It's only just dozens, I mean it's 2 and a bit dozen, technically correct which is the worst kind of correct

34 people from the UK according to the Torygraph. Loads

Yeah I know, I use Gluetun now, I was just answering OPs question.

I ran a Linux VM and just had Mullvad app installed and always on, and that was all I needed

Yes

Back when I was a streamer I used Kodi with the add-ons (I was in a subreddit where the current good ones got posted now and then) and had a Real Debrid account.

It was really convenient, maybe give it a go with your Pi. There's an OS you can bang on it (is it openelec? Libre-elec? Something like that) and just plug it into your TV. You'll have to work out controlling it in a convenient way, I have a little keyboard about the size of a remote with a usb dongle. It's got a little touchpad for the mouse and cost me fuck all on Amazon.

You do have to pay for Real Debrid but it's totally worth the price and will get you used to paying for piracy.

So the cycle goes:

Install Kodi and play with the free streams and think it's pretty great, get frustrated because you can't watch that one thing, finally bite the bullet and get a month of Real Debrid, tell your friends how ace Real Debrid is.

Just skip that and get Real Debrid once you have your Pi set up.

Oh no a nipple! Clutches pearls

I think you should have a thin sheet of steel kept in your car or somewhere safe, so you can just use that like a locksmith.

Plex was easy enough to set up. I use plexamp on my phone but can access the Plex server via a browser, which includes my music

Meh my Usenet provider also partners with a VPN provider. Still costs me £5 a month for the VPN but I may as well use it, I like having a VPN

Douch or turd sandwich?

Either way you're paying lots of money to watch a man sing that can't sing. At least with NOFX he wears a tutu too

Kick back, watch it crumble

See the drowning

Watch the fall

I feel just terrible about it

That's sarcasm, let it burn

I'm gonna make a toast when it falls apart

I'm gonna raise my glass above my heart

Then someone shouts, "That's what they get"

For all the years of hit-and-run

For all the piss broke bands on VH-1

Where did all their money go?

Don't we all know?

Parasitic music industry
