Definitely don’t go to fmhy.net and definitly don’t join the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community. Also don’t visit torrentgalaxy.to, 1337x.to or solidtorrents.to. You probably also wouldn’t want to check out rutracker.org or therarbg.com.
Saving your comment to remember what sites to avoid.
I posted another comment with a ton of useful media sources to avoid. You might want to save that comment as well.
It’d be a damn shame if you accidently downloaded cloudstream, an android app that allows you to download and watch offline, or just stream nearly any show or movie. I wouldn’t recommend the super stream source, as it almost always has a version available. Also, just in case, maybe don’t download tachiyomi to allow you to read any comics, manga, or graphic novels you want. It also has shitloads of hentai and pulls from almost every website imaginable.
And avoid Anna’s archive, as it has tons of ebooks which might(I’m not a lawyer) actually just be legal?
And definitely avoid libgen and scihub, lest you accidentally learn something new without paying the exorbitant fees.
Cloudstream says you need to install sites from repositories in order to stream. What sites or repositories should I avoid at all costs?
Also definitely dont look into setting up sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, and overseerr in combination with Plex or jellyseerr in combination with jellyfin. Otherwise you could find yourself with an extremely low touch automated downloading and organizing system that you can let your friends log into to request movies and shows without them needing to bug you at all for it to be downloaded in your preferred quality, size, codec, etc and automatically show up in Plex/jellyfin as soon as it finishes downloading, all renamed and sorted into folders as you please. That would be horrible.
Also, stay away from usenet and definitely don’t use the arr apps to automatically download your favorite shows and movies.
Any guide on how to find the usenet groups? I’d hate to stumble upon them accidentally, so it’s best to be prepared.

You’ll need one or more indexers to find content. Keep an eye on that sub for when some of the good ones open their registrations.
the capitalists are unable to understand that the “eternal growth” their books mention is not feasible in real world and in fact it is a bug. There are physical upper limits that cannot be overcome. There will not be unlimited people that will always enrol in a new subscription. They need to somehow understand that at some point a company may reach their ceiling. This is not reason to do whatever panic change in order to show growth in the numbers. It will just not happen.
The thing is, they do know this. They are perfectly willing to drive a company into the ground on the promise of annual growth, and they’ll dump it the moment it cannot serve them monetarily.
Ah but when the prices can’t go any higher they can always remove content, paying their suppliers less and getting cheaper hardware. I wish I was joking but these are the options that are left.

Lies!
It’s mathematically possible to have infinite growth as long as it’s in nominal terms and you have infinite inflation!
(Joke aside, ponder on why central banks have a positive non-zero inflation target…)

I’ve been a Netflix customer for over 20 years. The recent password crackdown and constant price gouging led me to cancel their service yesterday. Yo Ho MF’ers.
But I can only cancel my subscription once, and I already did, months ago.
they outplayed you 😂 you might be paying $0, but you can’t stop them anymore from charging you 2x$0 next year
Well, if you linearly extrapolate from recent events, eventually they will have a single user who is paying a billion dollars a month for their subscription.
I dust off my robe and wizard hat.
Plex is a great streaming alternative. Cancelling Netflix pays for the upgrade to gigabit Internet. Hard drives are cheaper now than ever. Usenet access remains safe and speedy. The DIY community for automation is thriving.
Is that the Jolly Roger coming in to port? Welcome back old friends.
Worth checking out Jellyfin as well
I MUCH prefer Jellyfin to Plex. Jellyfin seems to have active development whereas Plex is more interested in adding in a ton of “features” (aka garbage) that I never ever wanted and continues to leave YEARS old bugs out in the wild. I think it won’t be long until Plex enshittifies itself to death. They clearly have a financial situation that is not aligned with its users.
Plex has a client on my TV and Xbox. How would I watch Jellyfin content on those?
I say this a guy that got his RasPi3 Plex server running just good and stable a year ago and doesn’t touch it except to cycle in new content.
Is there any links/guides on how to get into the usenet side of things? I’ve been using torrents forever but people keep saying usenet is safer.
Google/learn about/consider these things
VPN, Usenet provider (i.e. EasyNews), Usenet indexers (i.e. NZBgeek), Usenet client (i.e. NZBget), Managing your library (Sonarr, Radar, Prowlarr, Filebot),
Media server & streaming (i.e. Plex, Jellyfin)
I watch through my firestick or android phones
I might be missing something, but there are lots of guides once you figure out what you’re looking for. A little technical know-how makes things go smoother and faster though.
I tried to get into Usenet but I’m old and unable to learn new tricks. I just looked at EasyNews and it’s $9.99 pm for 20GB :| so, like, a single 4K movie with Atmos. I don’t understand the allure of UseNet, perhaps because I am a dumb.
I have EasyNews, I think I paid $30 for 6 months of unlimited.
Here you go, $6 a month unlimited signup link https://signup.easynews.com/checkout/unlimited-special-deal/
Thanks for the info. I’ve got. Sonarr radarr and prowlarr set up with qbitt right now and jellyfin. I’ll have to do some digging this weekend.
Worth mentioning that NZBget is no longer in development. It still works but there is a fork out of a new client someone is developing. I can’t recall the name but easily findable. This would be the equivalent of your torrent client.
It’s nearing year end and you can get end of year deals soon on providers and indexers so off hold off until November\December. I think I got a lifetime NZBGeek membership last year for like $100 or something. It was my first time doing usenet but I actually switched my instances to use usenet indexers first over torrent indexers its that good.
Maybe they’ll actually start paying actors and writers the residuals they they are entitled to.
They really want us to cancel? My family only barely decided to keep Netflix after they last raised prices, and now they’re doing it again.
Well it’s time I learned to sail the high seas. Yaaaarrr.
They’re not even slowly raising prices, they are very rapidly raising them. We’ve reinvented cable.
You know I really should get around to getting a paid tier of proton VPN so that I can have cannons on me ship when I sail the high seas.
Ahoy matey! 'ave ye heard the good news about Debrid services?
Some people will still say it is cheaper than going to cinemas everyday.
All these services from Netflix to Uber are built on understandable foundations. They lose a ton of money in their first phase in order to gain subscribers but sooner or later start looking to turn profit out at least stop the bleeding.
I can already hear the outcry of surprised gamers when Microsoft cracks the whip on their Game Pass pricing, and there will be little to no alternative because they bought out most of the studios and publishers.
I’d be mad but I cancelled last time this happened.
