I love being one of only a few people seeding something. I just wish my internet connection was better so my upload speeds were faster.

Oh my... Love changed in a 8-year life span ! I guess nothing stays the same forever 🤷‍♂️

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Honestly it’s hard not to wonder if they intentionally tried to get more people sharing before they pulled the plug.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 14 points 4 days ago

Back then it was the easiest way to get Netflix into the lives of more people. It reduced the barrier of entrance to almost zero and allowed people to get used to the service. Then, a few years later, when you pull the rug, people are already invested in your service and would rather become a paying member than quit

Not really, there are different kinds of love, most people only think about romantic love though.

Are they encouraging sharing passwords now? I thought they did a big crackdown on that after being okay with it for years.

Edit: oh I went back and read the date.

[–] zululove@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago

2017 my friend

A time when men were free and brave

They encourage whatever gets them more money.

In 2017 they hadn't saturated market share and were still trying for conversions from people who weren't using their product.

"but you're not allowed to love on OUR platform!"

[–] AlboTheGuy@feddit.nl 14 points 3 days ago

Believe me, I'm so full of love these days, my discs are constantly spinning... Because of the love of course.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 34 points 4 days ago

Would be useful for a "This you" moment

[–] bmpvy@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

Is there anywhere a noobfriendly explanation HOW TO without getting in trouble? I'm so concerned about legal issues 👀

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There are plenty of resources online, but to get started I would go the easy route that I went and use docker.

Look to set up an “arr” stack. Make sure you have it set up gluetun and link to a VPN.

Essentially, you’ll buy a VPN connectio. Ensure this has P2P and Port Forwarding support.

You then set up docker in a way that first connects the vpn. If the vpn doesn’t work then it won’t start the download client like qbittorrent.

If you wait until after work I can share my docker compose file to give you an idea, but honestly if you’re somewhat capable with a keyboard then you can google you’re way to getting set up.

[–] bmpvy@feddit.org 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Please don't laugh but I was to scared to google yet XD I guess I kinda thought someone would knock the same minute as I start my research about it

I'd take any advice :)

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would never lack at someone for not knowing something.

Where are you based? Happy to help you when I have some free time.

[–] bmpvy@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

But also look into whether your ISP cares or not. Mine doesn't and I've been seeding for years without any problems without any vpn.

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Think about it let like this,

When you open a port on your router you’re allowing inbound connections from the internet to that port via your WAN IP, with a VPN however, that typically does not work since you’re forcing all your traffic through a specific data centre with its own firewall. Most well developed VPN providers will offer Port Forwarding as a feature which usually opens a random port for people to make those inbound connections, you instruct your download client to use the port your VPN provider gives you so that people can leech from you without exposing your WAN IP.

Hope that makes it easier to understand.

I don't have thus I don't check Netflix. Anything on there worth the seed?

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago

Netflix-original or available on Netflix

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 5 points 4 days ago

Atypical is pretty good, it's a coming-of-age about an autistic teen. It managed to evade the Department of Premature Cancellations for 4 seasons and even reached a satisfying conclusion.

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 5 points 4 days ago

Sure, the Castlevania Animation for example. "Love, Sex & Robots" also is a great anthology.

haunted hotel is so fun; it just came out last week. it's kinda in the same mold as bobs burgers.

i need more hdds i just discovered internet archive has so many nostalgic vhsrips T_T

I wish I had money to buy more drives (I have less than 1.5 TB right now) ...

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I just download from catflix.su

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

it could be that you country blocks it

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

or it could be it is not delegated at all...

domain:        CATFLIX.SU
nserver:       ns1.ddos-guard.net.
state:         REGISTERED, NOT DELEGATED

$ host catflix.su
Host catflix.su not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

hm... i am not sure if this can be config error, or some ~~censorship~~ child protection is happening here.

i am in eu, in a relatively liberal country where no one cares about a torrent (yet), but i am in the vodafone network, so the latter would be not out of the realm of possibility.

$ host catflix.su ns1.ddos-guard.net
Using domain server:

catflix.su has address 186.2.163.75
[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

i have not found single dns that would resolve the domain (tried google dns, opendns, opennic.org, among others), so maybe it is just a config error.

Well, you have the IP just add it to your Hosts file. Seems to work for me after doing that.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Irish! We got an Irish here!

See? Nobody cares.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

my friend doesn't get the joke. why should we care you are irish?

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's a line from Jurassic Park where someone is trying to be secretive about who they are (like this person is trying not to say they are from Ireland), so the other character shouts to the rest of the restaurant their name ("Dodgson! We got Dodgson here! See, nobody cares.").

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i am "this person", you clown. is ireland the only country you know, or why did you decide to place me there? whatever ireland did to you must have obviously been something terrible to trigger you so much :D

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes quoting 90s action movies is a sure sign of utter fury. It's all boy I wasn't giving out to you, I was taking the piss that you won't just say Ireland while giving about 5 clear indications that you're from Ireland sham.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

giving about 5 clear indications that you’re from Ireland

now i am really curious, you wouldn't be able to put red circle around these 5 clear indications, would you?

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

There's no DNS record at any of the major servers: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/catflix.su

Even the registrar doesn't seem to have any record.

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

I have this in my PiHole: 186.2.163.75 catflix.su 186.2.163.75 www.catflix.su

Just tried, it works.

U.S blocks it then
