I’m really just watching out for any upload speed increases. At this point, I don’t care about download speed increases, I just want upload speeds to increase. The only mention of it in that article is their plans to implement DOCSIS 4.0 later this year, which should increase upstream and downstream capacity. However, still no mention of how long it may take to be fully implemented.

Getting onto MyAnonaMouse was the best thing for me for audiobooks. They have open applications once every week I think, and they have most of the audiobooks I ever need, and many that I didn’t know I needed.

I use Alpine Linux for my home server. I chose it cause it runs very well on my raspberry pi 4 NAS/media server. I can leave it running for a long time, and I won’t have issues with it. Pretty easy to install applications and run docker containers. Its very lightweight and efficient. The only issues I have with it is that sometimes packages won’t be available for me due to running an ARM CPU. Usage is slightly different than something like Ubuntu, slightly different commands and such. You’ll also have to install all the applications You’ll need. I only need SSH access to it, i don’t have a GUI or desktop for it.

Outside of self-hosted solutions, there’s JustWatch, which allows you to create an account, add movies and TV shows, and then you can rate them and get recommendations for it. It’s not FOSS, and you do have to create an account, but it does let you have a universal watch list for all services you own, and then see what people are watching and get recommendations.

Interesting, looking into it, it can automatically send a request to Sonarr and Radarr to download certain content, if I don’t have it on a streaming service? How does this compare to Jellyseerr?

Some kind of watch list feature for Jellyfin.

Or, a self-hosted universal watch list for both Jellyfin and any platforms I may use from time-to-time. In the past I’ve resorted to compiling a massive table, but now I just have an account on JustWatch. Obviously doesn’t show me anything from Jellyfin, though.

Other than that, I feel like we need to teach others how to pirate themselves. I’m often the one that friends and family come to to get books, streaming links, software, etc. Its surprising how little people understand how torrenting actually works at a fundamental level.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but isn’t this the idea behind WebTorrent? You can play a movie while its downloading from a torrent.
