12:04:26 Guys, I think piracy is dying... 12:04:30 I'm worried about that 12:05:11 @weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org: Piracy? No. Privacy, yes. 12:05:24 Both 12:05:39 Piracy like pirating files 12:05:44 Movies, books, etc 12:06:00 Um, no. 12:07:02 Why not? 12:07:02 Have you tried to watch UFC and couldn't find it for free? 12:07:21 Streameast is always down 12:07:36 @weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org: Free? Not without jumping through a million hoops. But for a reasonable cost? Sure. 12:08:23 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. 12:09:02 I have no idea about IPTV sports, but I have been able to find Disney and PBS Kids. 12:09:15 @kaigoh:gohegan.uk: Reasonable cost? Bro, I don't pay shit 12:10:07 BlueyHealer: Yeah there's a couple options out there but streameast is the best by far 12:10:08 @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). 12:10:10 Greetings to all the people who helps making Monero such a great crypto. 12:10:10 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 https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/7K_A7tcKMEhjTlE1 ] 12:10:10 Thanks in advance. 12:10:16 I've heard some pay for Usenet access because it's more consistent than torrents... But I don't want to. 12:10:33 Should I post this to monero-dev for visibility? Here the chat doesn't seem very serious. 12:10:42 BlueyHealer: Shop around and you can get unlimited usenet access for a year for like $15 12:10:52 I know there are some unlicensed streaming services that some people prefer paying for because they're convenient too. 12:11:26 BlueyHealer: Not a recommendation at all, but just to show what's out there: https://omegamedia.cc 12:11:51 BlueyHealer: Usenet + *arr stack + Jellyfin is the way forward. 12:11:59 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. 12:12:31 I don't have a card that would work for foreign services anyway. 12:13:50 BlueyHealer: Self host what you need then :) 12:13:55

I have a question about Monero's database choice. 12:14:08 this has been done in cuprate 12:14:11 (append only database) 12:17:27 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. 12:18:02 BlueyHealer: > Usenet + *arr stack + Jellyfin is the way forward 12:19:32 @jairbolsonaro:nope.chat: você por aqui presidente? 12:21:04 I get pretty much everything from one tracker, but newer American children's shows are often absent because I guess no one bothers. 12:21:55 kaigoh, yeah, but you mentioned Usenet 12:22:09 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? 12:22:53 https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/matrix.org/wgGtYdJqArytTUQVmfdnGmMB.jpeg (take bom 4chan.jpeg) 12:23:32 BlueyHealer: I'm unsure what you're asking? 12:24:21 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. 12:25:08 BlueyHealer: That's a fair point. I was just telling you what I know can be achieved for a lower cost. 18:03:49 https://www.taler.net/en/index.html who uses this shitbag honeypot? "Anonymous but also we can track you" LOL 18:06:52 the EU
