You can get plenty of older shows on Usenet it's not like you won't find something like Star Trek from the 60's. Hell I recently started downloading V from 1984 so...

For my less tech savvy friends/family I just have a bot in Discord that can do requests to sonarr/radarr https://github.com/kiranshila/Doplarr

Other options can be using something like tailscale and giving them the web access to sonarr/radarr

You know my story isn't very different from yours.

As a teenager I massively pirated everything, became an adult with a paying job streaming was sensible so I paid for Netflix/Spotify eventually adding in Prime video + the occasional thing like P+/disney+ or whatever flavour of the month I wanted to watch.

Then earlier this year I realised I was paying for 6 different movie/tv streaming subs and when I went on holiday none of the services I had worked properly and I couldn't continue watching the show I had been watching at night before bed and I just went nah fuck this. Blew about 2 grand on a Mac Mini m2 and a ton of hard drives and just went full on Arr stack + usenet + plex lifetime.

It isn't even about the fucking money anymore it's just how inconvenient they make everything, I've had enough and I don't think I'm ever going back.

The nostalgia this brings me when I look at these pages and they are just straight to the point.

Sometimes I miss the old internet and web pages.

I feel the same way, but as others have said commenting is also participation

Colour me surprised that Mr Musk and lowering moderating standards would lower advertising revenue.

Is journalism biased because it doesn’t agree with your worldview? That’s one hell of an authoritarian take.

Really feels like we are in that sort of a world these days where if something comes from someone you don't like or agree with it must automatically be fake.

The legacy of 2016

One of the first things I made sure of

100% get 2 providers 2 indexers and setup the Arr stack and never touch it again

Yeah that's a no go mate, I couldn't even do my job if I had a £100 phone it would end up being a cluster fuck as I need to constantly look at spreadsheets, and multiple email inboxes and work through a web Ui portal and none of that is gonna be a good experience on a phone at that price.

I've used enough of those cheap £100 phones be they new or second hand to know for someone who's actually using their phone to do work they are completely unsuitable.

this is me also, I've used transmission for over a decade across three operating systems it's incredibly simple to get going but relatively powerful if you need it to be.

Yeah it does seem the apps are currently limited in that regard, hopefully development pace will continue and we'll be up to a point where we can do that in the next few weeks.

Once the apps are in a good state we can see how viable this will be long term.
