For Christmas I’m gonna torrent and fill a 5TB external hard drive with all of the best movies and TV for my family.
I’m tired of sifting through contemporary garbage shows and movies, particularly for kids.

It’s all slop
I just got a Plex server set up. It’s pretty good.
Curating your children’s entertainment is a most important thing.
Scooby, fraggle rock, muppets ftw
Sorry im old…19xx😀
i hear bluey is quite good modern kids show
may look to some classics aswell (ex: sesame street)
go jellyfin!
for kids ya gotta go back
keen to get a NAS built and do the same
Dragonheart is a great family movie. not many these days are wholesome. Interstellar is too, but only interesting to those 12 and older.
Second this! Jellyfin is WAY better than plex
would you ever hypothetically upload a tutorial from an anon nostr key for highly regarded plebs like myself
full blown slop world
100 years.
Absolutely! For kids the rule of thumb I use to find good stuff is to look for stuff made from 2010 going backwards
Extremely good idea. Thinking of setting up talescale for my whole extended family with movies shows music and photos on nas for everyone to use.
Ghibli movies. Adventure time. Clarence. That would be the base for any kids stuff as they are not only great but it's about having good character.
just remember to configure your VPN correctly so that they do not detect your traffic.
completely shock them by putting it on a tiny microSD 😄
Index it please. I’ve been wanting the same thing! Then I’ll also do it
I did this about 12 years ago
Especially that bit in Pinnochio, where they take all the kids to Pleasure Island. Classic Walt Disney
I've not done it, just Kodi and SAMBA back to Linux server
I'm keen to get one for my own family. Keen to know what you put on it.
Jellyfin.org
This is the way.

Genius. Might do the same next year and configure a mini pc with jellyfin to go along.

Jellyfin +1
Make sure to include Trading Places, the best Christmas (or Saturnalia) movie around.
Though maybe not for the kids.
Good advice, but something tells me you don't know Erik very well haha.
We raised our son with the old school Muppet Show and Disney classics. Funny, moral, and entertaining for everyone. It was all torrented. 😄
Yeah, it’s wild how pretty much all kids shows went to complete shit after that
Absolutely, hence why more film-makers and platforms like Indeehub, Angel studios etc that are challenging Hollywood/Netflix model of producing woke garbage are required. Hope you will find wholesome content
2001 and Holy Mountain better be on there
Jellyfin is more open, while Plex hides a lot of its most poweful features behind paywall. You can run it off a NAS, although running the server on a NAS is not recommend because they cant handle transcoding well. But you can always point the server at your NAS for its libraries
And its all self hosted, so however you get your files works. I prefer torrenting myself 😉
simple answer on how it's better:
it's freedom tech, plex isn't
there are also a lot of unlocked features, better privacy, but nothing beats that primary reason
Please add this short film to the list
Its about Bitcoin Circular Economy 2.0

We are looking for an investor who can lend 150,000 US dollars to our holding company.
We are looking for an investor who can invest 150,000 US dollars in our holding.
We are looking for an investor who can provide a budget of 150,000 US dollars for our holding.
With a budget of 150,000 US dollars that you will invest in our holding, we will produce an artificial intelligence-supported device called Mindova, which will measure people's physical and mental data and evaluate this data with artificial intelligence, guiding people in a healthy life.
“Mindova” is an artificial intelligence-supported coach that analyzes your personal health data (sleep, heart rate, step count, mood, blood values, nutrition, etc.).
Mindova is a device that analyzes the user's physical and mental data with artificial intelligence and works as a personal health assistant.
People experience mental fatigue, stress, and physical health problems. However, everyone's lifestyle, biology, and psychology are different. Current apps offer "general recommendations," not personalized ones.
Stress, anxiety, lack of focus, insomnia and loss of motivation are on the rise in people worldwide. Current wellness apps give everyone the same advice, there are no personalized solutions. People want a healthy life but can't find a personal system to guide them.
AI-based mental health applications, in particular, are one of the areas where investors are currently pouring the most money (Calm, Headspace, Wysa, Replika, Mindstrong, etc.).
In short, the applications at the lower level of the project we are doing are generating billions of dollars. We are building a project that receives large investments across the market.
We will sell our product at a price of 300 US dollars.
We will have our product produced by technology companies in India, thus eliminating the need for labor and producing a quality product at a low cost.
We will sell our product in two ways. First, we will create our own website, display our product internationally on our website and sell it all over the world. Thanks to our strong advertising network, we will introduce and sell our products to many people and achieve large sales in a short time. Second, we will make agreements with technology stores around the world and sell them to them. They will sell to people in their own countries and earn money.
There will be a 2-month production process and a 2-month sales process, so we will be able to achieve great income by working quickly and in a balanced manner.
💼 Your Profit:
You will invest 150,000 US dollars in our holding company. When July 25, 2026 comes, I will return your money to you as 850,000 US dollars.

i think you want to consider hardware transcoding which i think is something to do with the GPU or special features on the CPU
but i don't really know anything about that stuff, i just set it up on an old PC and let it work it's magic
I usually keep what I download, unless I really dont want to waste the space with it.
My library is on a 4 TB drive which is very full, but it holds an awful lot.
Ive heard a lot of people mention radarr and sonarr, but havent checked them out. I should
Plur1bus is really nice for a new show.
i may or may not have been doing this since 2008. it's been working well. allegedly.
what do you need to know? i gotchu
I know a couple places to stream movies and shows online but I dont know how to download them😭 would love to learn how so I can load them up and give them out as gifts
the typical set up is a bit convoluted but not bad if youre comfortable running docker. there are multiple pieces of software that each serve 1 purpose and you combine them all together to create a sort of ecosystem.
- prowlarr: select bittorrent trackers to index/search
- radarr: manage movies collection
- sonarr: manage tv show collection
- transmission bt: bittorrent client
- jellyfin: stream your media
bt trackers:
1337x, EZTV, showRSS, YTS
if you can get access to a private tracker like TorrentDay that would help with some harder to find stuff.
of course always use a vpn to download stuff and be kind, please seed.
ping me on signal and we can get into it fr
