    I’m using a thinclient (Fujitsu S920), slapped an Intel Pro/1000 NIC in there and installed opnsense. Hardware cost for both used was around €80. Wifi is handled by a TP-Link access point.

    It’s a big boy router/firewall, and it’s been quite a learning experience but very fun.









  • Exactly. We’ve seen piracy go down fairly consistently with the rise of Netflix, as it was providing good service and a huge catalogue for a pretty fair price. But piracy started picking back up when every major production company decided to do their own thing, and getting the content you wanted is, again, prohibitively expensive.

    Spotify is more convenient than piracy, so I’m happy to use it as long as I feel the price is fair for the value I’m getting out of it.
    Netflix, Disney+, HBO and whatever else there is? Not nearly as convenient as radarr/sonarr + jellyfin. I was fine with giving Netflix my money a few years ago when the price was fair and the catalogue was huge. But at this point, a seedbox can be had for cheaper than a basic subscription to any of the TV/movie streaming services. So fuck em.


  • Piracy is a service problem, I’m not necessarily doing it for ideological purposes. The music industry, for the most part, has got that. The TV and movie industry, however, is just learning it now, again.

    If I can get the content I want conveniently and for a fair price, I have no issues with paying. It’s not like I don’t have other options. I’ve been on what before it got shut down, and I’ve been on red ever since. But apart from the obscure stuff that I can’t get on Spotify, I rarely use it.
