<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Guys, I think piracy is dying...

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> I'm worried about that

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> @weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org: Piracy? No. Privacy, yes.

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Both

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Piracy like pirating files

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Movies, books, etc

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> Um, no.

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Why not?

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Have you tried to watch UFC and couldn't find it for free?

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Streameast is always down

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> @weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org: Free? Not without jumping through a million hoops. But for a reasonable cost? Sure.

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Guys, I think piracy is dying... <- How so? I've heard that said a short while ago, but now seems like it's back, because the streaming services and DRMed purchase options are hostile.

I have no idea about IPTV sports, but I have been able to find Disney and PBS Kids.

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> @kaigoh:gohegan.uk: Reasonable cost? Bro, I don't pay shit

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> BlueyHealer: Yeah there's a couple options out there but streameast is the best by far

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> @weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org: And there might be your issue. I'm happy to pay (shit costs to run - time and money - , regardless of legitimate or illegitimate).

<jairbolsonaro:nope.chat> Greetings to all the people who helps making Monero such a great crypto.

<jairbolsonaro:nope.chat> I have a question about Monero's database choice. As said by some valuable contributors above, LMDB has a lot of write amplification for this specific use case. Since most blockchain data is immutable (as an example key:block hash value:block data blob), why not just creating an append-only database file for immutable data (th [... too long, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/7K_A7tcKMEhjTlE1 ]

<jairbolsonaro:nope.chat> Thanks in advance.

I've heard some pay for Usenet access because it's more consistent than torrents... But I don't want to.

<jairbolsonaro:nope.chat> Should I post this to monero-dev for visibility? Here the chat doesn't seem very serious.

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> BlueyHealer: Shop around and you can get unlimited usenet access for a year for like $15

I know there are some unlicensed streaming services that some people prefer paying for because they're convenient too.

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> BlueyHealer: Not a recommendation at all, but just to show what's out there: omegamedia.cc

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> BlueyHealer: Usenet + *arr stack + Jellyfin is the way forward.

kaigoh, I had no desire for the more "interesting" pirate streams. But kinda weirded out by paying like this, it feels sketchy. A donation? Awesome. Payment for a service? Fear I'd be scammed.

I don't have a card that would work for foreign services anyway.

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> BlueyHealer: Self host what you need then :)

<br-m> <jairbolsonaro:nope.chat> I have a question about Monero's database choice.

this has been done in cuprate

(append only database)

kaigoh, how can you selfhost SOURCES TO GET CONTENT YOU DON'T YET HAVE? What did you mean? But yeah, I do use free sources.

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> BlueyHealer: > Usenet + *arr stack + Jellyfin is the way forward

<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> @jairbolsonaro:nope.chat: você por aqui presidente?

I get pretty much everything from one tracker, but newer American children's shows are often absent because I guess no one bothers.

kaigoh, yeah, but you mentioned Usenet

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> BlueyHealer: Perhaps look into debrid services (you can do one off / crypto for some of them, I believe) to infill what you can't get?

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> BlueyHealer: I'm unsure what you're asking?

I am not asking, I'm just saying that in some situations one may be unable to pay for things with a card. And I was just pointing out your suggestions to selfhost something even though you cannot selfhost a source of content you don't have.

<kaigoh:gohegan.uk> BlueyHealer: That's a fair point. I was just telling you what I know can be achieved for a lower cost.
