Windows 10 on my main computer, Mint on my HTPC which is getting a lot more use.

What are your favourites?

You could set it up as a media centre if you don’t have a sufficient option already.

I’ve used mine for emulators, media server, and file server over time. I’ve only got a 3b though so a bit limited compared to the 4s.

You got a hose?

Spotify web player with a good ad block at least gets around the “supporting them” bit.

An Evangelion AMV to I’m Not Okay by My Chemical Romance. I even remember the user but I haven’t been able to find since it got wiped off YouTube over 10 years ago.

TIL. Thank you.

If you’re using a 3b just be aware that hevc and x265 files won’t play properly.

Yes. The best.

Could be a case of “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”

I’ve got a website based on Joomla that is over 10 years old. I know Wordpress is a better option and have been using it for other stuff for the last 5 years.

Why isn’t the first one migrated over to Wordpress? Because I can’t be fucked, it still works.

If there are people you enjoy on YouTube or other forms of social media, check their profiles or about me and see if they have mastodon links.

How was Curiosity Stream?

Personally I’m only paying for Spotify (while working away in the background to build my own collection) and Kayo, which is an Australian sports service. There is a little bit of fragmentation for sport in Australia but I’ve been lucky with Kayo as they’ve picked up stuff I was paying for elsewhere and it’s become better value over the time I’ve been subscribed.

Netflix is the only major one I’ve ever really paid for and their password gimmick was the straw that broke that for me.

Could try a better skin for Kodi

It’s not the most stable but when it works it works really well.

This is reassuring. Sounds like I’ll be good to go in a week when this download finally finishes.

Radarr/Sonarr to acquire most things. Still go around them where needed.

Then I use Kodi for all video. I don’t go off the main device enough to worry about a full server setup for it so I’ll just network share if I need to use another device.

Navidrome and substreamer for music in a proper server config with Tailscale tying it together.

You could use a porn site or look specifically into NSFW services.

A channel i used to watch kept getting banned from youtube for copyright violation so they started using xvideos in addition to dailymotion.

It could still be worthwhile, just not as your only option. Do your local archiving as well but having it uploaded elsewhere could come in handy if the shit hits the fan.

Peertube, Nebula, Patreon, etc. You don’t have to use YouTube.
