So my first thought is: Download the entire file BEFORE watching it. This ensures that you won’t have to buffer while watching and it’ll run 100% smoothly.

Downloading files isn’t very difficult generally; just go to some (torrenting) website, copy the magnet or download the torrent and import it into your torrent client.

When you have your .mp4, .mkv, .whatever file, you can simply click on it and play it on your preferred media player (such as VLC). However, you may want to watch it on some other device… Easy solution (for TVs) is just connect your laptop to your TV with an HDMI cable, duplicate your screen and start watching.

But if you actually want to stream, you’ll have to tread into the self-hosting zone. Meaning that you run a media server that hosts all your content and your devices (whether it’s a TV, android phone, iPhone, whatever) can access and play the content from your server.

This is a very, very big topic that I won’t cover in a single comment. I will point you in the right direction and mention Jellyfin; Jellyfin is a free, open-source media server that you can set up to manage and stream your files with

So the price to kill someone is 4.75 million? Got it.

As long as the actual people in charge (read: CEO, CTO, CFO, anyone else on the board of directors and any other executives) aren’t held directly responsible with a proper punishment that isn’t payment, the killing of people is literally just a fee of 4.75 million dollars.

If you just want to track your data for yourself, without the social media features (like Strava has), I would recommend Opentracks.

I considered voting for them, but I didn’t.

The reason is because there are other parties with comprehensive plans for digitalisation / IT stuff PLUS lots of other plans for healthcare, economy, infrastructure, etc.

Pirate party seems like a party focused on IT stuff only, whereas I also care about other topics, such as international trains, subsidizing healthcare, improving education and lots of other things.

(I voted for Volt Nederland BTW)

So this woman is jailed for live streaming the truth?

What about the rebel path from the CP77 OST?

Sounds good, but they first need to actually deliver the jets, because this is otherwise pointless.

I think they could add a tag system, where the user enters their interests as a tag and then Loops shows all the content that shares the same tag.

Yes, it’s more effort than TikTok, which automatically guesses what your interests are, but I think it’s still a good, privacy friendly alternative.

Slightly offtopic:

When I go to the source in my browser, I see that this toot has been boosted roughly 800 times and roughly 1400 favorites.

However, when I go to this toot via my Mastodon app, I’m seeing 256 boosts and 1 favourite.

Why is this different in my app vs the fosstodon link to the toot?

I wanted to watch Game of Thrones, but I couldn’t, because there was no legal streaming service available back then. (This was in 2015 or something).

That’s when I discovered the Pirate Bay and its wonders…

Hmmm… Maybe it’s to prevent scripts from downloading / ripping content off their platform? That’s the only theory I can come up with. Although if it’s true, they don’t do a very good job at it, considering I’ve seen plenty of WebDL-1080p Netflix exclusive content on torrenting platforms.

Lmao, why do you even need to verify your humanity?

Yeah, I mean, I:

• Eat at least three times per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
• Exercise three times per week (in the gym, lifting weights)
• Sleep at least 7 or 8 hours per night
• Go outside every day
• Have a skincare routine (although it’s not much)
• Brush my teeth twice per day (after breakfast and before going to sleep)

Tip: if you have an Android TV, you can install SmartTube as an alternative, privacy-friendly YouTube client. It has no ads and sponsorblock integration

I don’t think, I just do.

I usually keep an end goal in sight; for example, I sometimes dread going to the gym, but I always remember that my goal is to stay fit, have a healthy body and exercising is an important part of that. By sticking to my goal, I maintain my discipline and go to the gym 3 times per week.

Another example is school homework; in my case, my math homework is something I don’t enjoy, but I remind myself that I need the math certificate in order to enroll for a Computer Science degree at an university. Therefore, I keep pushing myself to study math and get good grades (which so far has worked pretty well)

Regrowing / regenerating certain body parts.

This could theoretically be done with stemcell stuff, but it’s not there yet. However, when we finally reach the point where we can infinitely regenerate our body cells, we’ll become effectively “ammortal”; unable to die due to natural causes (such as illness), but we will still die from other people (for example, a bullet to the head)

Besides that, I think nuclear fusion would be an incredible development if we can finally harness it to power our homes.

Nothing. My other account was only for lurking and I didn’t post anything; no comments, no posts, nothing.

I only post / comment on my main, but that’s now no longer possible lol.

It’s a sound theory, however I am not banned from any subreddit as far as I’m aware of, so ban evasion can’t have been the reason.

Although, as I mentioned in another comment, I have another account, but that’s mainly used for my nsfw stuff.

Yup, just did that!

I don’t use a VPN for Reddit and while I have another account, it’s not for ban evasion, but rather to have my nsfw activity separate from my personal account.

No fucking idea what’s happened here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit decided to use AI or some shit to regulate the rules, resulting in random bans.
