I just got mine set up with a custom domain name and CloudFlare tunnel, it seems to work a treat. Now to start selling user accounts… 🤔
Gods I could never figure out how in the hell to get Tunnels working, though I’d like to try it again someday and use one of my domains. For now Tailscale works.
Nah ain’t doing movies and shows physical media, I only watch things once. Torrent it is
Same bro. I don’t get people who want to watch Dirty Dancing and The Lion King two million times. It’s good but… I want new things! New experiences! I get bored revisiting what I already know.
There is a difference between how people watch stuff and how much they remember. I also can’t rewatch anything within a decade, because I remember every single line. My wife didn’t remember what that episode was about a week later. Sometimes I envy her, because I constantly need to look for new stuff, which might or might not be good. she can just rewatch something and she knows that she likes it. Of course this is exaggerated, but I guess you get the point.
Im like you. I’m a “give me new things”.
it took me a few years to understand. Especially since I have a coworker who shared she plays the Office in the background, nearly every day for a few years.
It’s comfort food for them. Why do some people play 1000+ hours of the same mobile games? Why do some people do those thousand piece puzzles?
It’s just comfort and consistency.
That’s exactly what fits the mould of my wife as well. She watches old stuff for comfort. Makes perfect sense. 👍
You dont have a favourite show or movie?
I’m like the OP. I watch it once.
If I want to watch it again, which hasn’t been the case for over a decade:
- Find the physical version. Often at a thrift store
- Sail the open seas

Casual reminder, Sony and Intel tried to tether Blu-ray discs to SGX DRM, which was killed just a few years after they introduced the standard, rendering all of your SGX DRM Blu-rays unplayable on PC. They disabled it so quickly, because people could use Intel SGX DRM for remote code execution in your machine, below the operating system and kernel level.
Also, if you have one of the CPUs which still has SGX DRM, congratulations, you have a hardware Trojan! Digital restrictions management is a cancer because look at what it does in reality, vs. what they say. Who came up with this?

There’s at two problems with that: VHS tapes and CEDs both degrade with each playback session, and CEDs even can get damaged or destroyed if you store them incorrectly (no wonder that format flopped and brought down RCA with it, lol…), and LDs have Laser Rot to deal with which is sadly becoming more common as some discs which were pressed in certain plants age.
VHS/Beta tapes, CEDs, and LDs if there’s any media that wasn’t released outside of those formats should be archived in some way ASAP due to the fragile nature of all three formats.
(and I say ‘fragile’ although LDs in theory should last indefinitely due to the lack of physical contact with that format vs. CEDs being read by a stylus and VHS and beta being read by a spinning head drum, but as I said, Laser Rot is an increasingly big problem with them)
*CEDs are literally video on vinyl, something that someone at RCA had to have been tripping on something to come up with, and that it’s a miracle that it even worked at all, given the inherent limitations of vinyl as a format.

This meme would be more accurate if you replace the girl he’s with with Fat Bastard from Austin Powers feasting from a trough of IP.
Welcome to the land of mkv! Get your hand brake ready.
Workin’ on it! Got me a used laptop that’s about as recent as possible to still have a slim bluray slot built in. Learning all the things.
use libraries! they are great.
There is something very satisfying about opening up a movie DVD box or game DVD box. You see all these artworks and especially for games, guides !
I remember that they had pretty much stopped doing that entirely, half the time it was a slip of paper w/ an advert on it, or some sort of legal compliance form.
I don’t really think men look back anymore nowadays
