Amateur. You set this up ahead of time.
When you’re torrenting and you’re planning to watch with someone else, you decide what you’re watching at least eight hours in advance, preferably a day. Radarr can’t find stuff instantaneously, assuming the automated search finds it at all, and torrents can take hours to finish, plus leaving time to resolve technical mishaps with your *arr stack, like the VPN being dead. If you and the person you wanna watch with aren’t going to be in the same room, you’ll have to set aside even longer in order to transcode it into a format a browser can play at a bitrate that’s low enough to stream, and load it into your HTTP server so that Cytube can play it. Ideally you’d block out some time to test and troubleshoot Cytube too.
Anon needs Jellyfin.
I prefer NGINX with autoindex. Lightweight, no JavaScript, looks like every Linux ISO mirror, filenames already have all the required info, can be quickly searched with CTRL+F, fits perfectly to my laziness.
If you want some improvement, you can use FancyIndex module.
But the files need to be in codecs supported by your browser(s). I prefer AV1+Opus in WebM container which have been supported by Firefox for a while. At this point it’s really only Safari not fully supporting AV1 because it relies on hardware decoding and Apple wants you to buy new hardware.
Sorry, your favorite media server is just files you play on a browser?
I mean, not shaming, I just had never heard of that being preferable to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin.
Kinda based tho tbh
“If it works, it ain’t stupid” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It can definitely work and be stupid
torrent ahead of time?
anon is a dumbfuck.
You can also press one button to configure a torrent to download first and last, allowing you to play a video while it streams in.
Anon can’t even torrent right, she just got scared that he’d be too stupid to put on the condom right.

Yeah my ex wife initially made fun of my server with my Plex media on it…
Guess what she wanted after our divorce? That’s right Plex.
If she scoffs at your media setup she’s wrong for you.
Once I was with a girl and taking too long to get a torrent going so she whips out her phone and does it herself. Safe enough to say that we are together now.
Wow torrenting on a phone. I know it’s possible but I always thought it was slow or difficult.
It might have actually been a streaming site now remembering. She used a vpn to connect to Mainland China, typed some Chinese into a Chinese search engine and found it on a Chinese website.
What the actual fuck? Never thought of learning Chinese just to pirate something. Unless she already knew Chinese?
On Android, Flud has been good to me over the years even though the ads can get annoying at times. Hopefully it helps you get Linux ISOs on your phone with ease :)
Man, I used that app in 2014… Still remember torrenting music on my phone one the way to Melbourne for a concert 😅
I’d suggest alternatives from fdroid over the play store.

This is why you have a server running jellyfin qbittorent, Jackett, sonarr, radarr, all behind a good VPN.
Anon is obviously a noob and deserves the walkout.
The iPad with VLC works great for portability too.
But that means you use a Apple device so you are a noob and deserve the walkout.
Yeah I was SSHing the movies to it directly from my server but I doubt you know what that is.
Oh I guess I have to quit my job then :(
:(
What’s with the “ooga booga woman scared by tech” meme? Like, people have been torrenting for ages, it’s not like it’s underground.
And just have it downloaded? “Hey, wanna come over and watch ____? Yes? Cool, see you then.” Then start the download. If it’s popular, you’ll have the file in, like, 10 minutes. And if she’s that “confused” by an hdmi cable (which is an extremely common cable these days, but whatever), put it on a flash drive and plug that in. And if someone is interested, I can’t imagine setting something up would make them leave? “Oh gosh, he had a laptop and a… A cable, you say? Well golly gee, I should run away from this fringe tech afficionado because who does that???”
I don’t know why some guys act like tech just washed over women. We were there sailing the same high seas as the rest of ya’ll.
“What do you mean the movie will come from the laptop?” Boy, bye
Don’t think it is about women being scared by tech, but “normies” only really knowing how to use Netflix to watch a movie.
In the post the woman is not the butt of the joke for being tech illiterate (and I’d argue they aren’t presented as that), the joke is on Anon for insisting on using free/techy stuff rather than costly but convenient things and ruining the vibe of the evening. This could just as easily say “Anon, why are you still fiddling with the picture settings? It looks fine. Motion blur? I don’t know what that is. It looks fine. Just watch the movie.”
It’s Usenet babe. Get this… it’s been around since 1980! Isn’t that wild, babe? It just goes to show, if a distribution system isn’t broke, don’t fix it.
Hahah I was gonna come mention Usenet but glad you already did.
A month ago I was frustrated waiting on some torrent and decided to finally give Usenet a try. All I gotta say is - why didn’t I do this switch years ago???
Shit goes missing after like a year
IIRC that might have been the reason I previously disregarded the idea of trying Usenet. However if it’s not on Usenet, one can always fall back to torrents :p Haven’t had to do that yet. *knocks on wood*
