Would love to find old Canadian sketch comedy. CBC doesn't release much in the way of physical media. Thankfully, most if not all of Red Green is on youtube, but the vast majority of Royal Canadian Air Farce, Wayne & Shuster, 22 Minutes, etc is rotting away in the CBC archives. Maybe there's a couple episodes here and there on archive.org but there are zero torrents.

Some kind of watch list feature for Jellyfin.

Or, a self-hosted universal watch list for both Jellyfin and any platforms I may use from time-to-time. In the past I've resorted to compiling a massive table, but now I just have an account on JustWatch. Obviously doesn't show me anything from Jellyfin, though.

Other than that, I feel like we need to teach others how to pirate themselves. I'm often the one that friends and family come to to get books, streaming links, software, etc. Its surprising how little people understand how torrenting actually works at a fundamental level.

This is possible using Trakt. Add a movie or series to your watchlist, sonarr & Radarr sync from this list and add to jellyfin.

There's also a plugin in jellyfin itself for Trakt that can report back to say when you've watched it I believe.

Doesn't quite vibe with the post, but with the title: More industrial software and operators manuals and stuff. I'm honestly having a hell of a time finding them.

Not always, but occasionally I have issues with playing a video and the language not being my preferred (English). Either the video doesn't have English audio or it's not the default. Not a biggie but it can waste some time if there's no talking for the first few min and my family isn't used to navigating audio settings.

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

VLC lets you set automatic audio preference matching, so that you type in "eng" in the settings, and it will try and pick an audio track that has "eng" in it's title, great for multi-lang media but doesn't work for stuff like commentary tracks rarely.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks, I didn't know that was a VLC setting. It'd be nice if there was some type of standard for language and audio tracks etc. so there's less chance of error due to free typing the name of a track.

I want self-sovereign identity. I want to control who gets what information about me from my ID, and how that data is hosted. I'm aware that there are some really hostile attitudes about blockchain, but I'd like if a public blockchain could be used to host the information, so that the identity info could be decentralized and decoupled from any given provider.

I want control of my digital identity back, dammit.

postscript someone kindly pointed out this is c/piracy, not c/privacy, which I thought it was. Off topic; my bad.

Torrent search engine would be a great start, similar like qbittorrent search plugins

I need a server to start again.

Some equivalent to *arr services for IRC dcc'ing, lol. I just prefer dcc'ing over torrents, but it's a hassle to manually do it..

The ability to financially support those one would leech off of (both bandwidth & sourcing)... Nothing mandatory, but perhaps being able to post a bounty for particular hard-to-find material, or for someone to seed a dead torrent.
