  • I don’t think it’s really a big deal ?

    We’re all playing around with things in the same domain. Does it really matter if someone is paid and someone else isn’t?

    I don’t necessarily agree that a paid / qualified person will necessarily be operating at a higher level just generally than a hobbyist. Professionals tend to know lots about very specific things, hobbyists tend to invest a lot more time and effort into building elegant solutions.

    Yes some answers from IT professionals may be unhelpful for hobbyists but that’s just part of interacting with other people.






  • I’m finding it hard to feel any kind of sympathy for someone who thinks they have rights to permanent access on any sort of streaming service.

    I say that fully cognisant normies don’t spend much time thinking about where there data is and who has the right to it. I just don’t think many people would think of movies they’ve watched on their “telstra TV Box Office” as being in "their’ library.

    That said, self hosting movies isn’t for me. For many people it might be. In my case it just doesn’t make any sense to have a server with all the tb. I was catch & release torrenting for several years but more recently stremio. Without any doubt stremio has been the most convenient.
