    Parental controls on Stremio?

    Is there some way to have age rating or parental controls in the basic version of Streamio so that the kids don't end up getting SpongeBob intermingled with House of the Dragon?

    I've tried Nuvio also, and while that gives a pin / user accounts, it doesn't stop kids from altering settings etc.

    Ideally, I'd want a system like Jellyfin has. Is that possible?

    PS: on Nuvio, I had the idea of removing all plugins bar this one for the kids account

    https://kids.gstream.stream/manifest.json

    so that it's at least obfuscated, but that plug in seems broken.

  • Aaah...i see. OK...I found it and one called No-Torrent, plugged the manifest.jsons into the android TV app and it seems to do the trick.

    Is Torretino more stable / pulls from better sources than No-Torrent or is it same same?

    Stremio mega plugin?

    Hello.

    Ive been using CloudStream for the last little while but my kids find it a little clunky.

    I've installed Stremio today but am not clear as to how to tee it up with free pirate streams, ala CloudStream.

    I've checked fmhy and the glanced at the mega thread, as well as asking my clankers.

    Can someone point me in the direction of the equivalent of CloudStream's Mega plug in / repository for stremio?

    EDIT: thank you to all. All the solutions you suggested worked, but in the end, it was just eaiest to pay for Real-Debrid.

  • Is game console (hardware) piracy a thing?

    Jump

  • The argument could be made that FPGA devices (which reimplement real hardware) are "bootleg" versions.

    https://retroremake.co/pages/superstation%E1%B5%92%E2%81%BF%E1%B5%89

    It's a poor argument, but I've seen more insane ones.

    If you're talking about back in the day, there were things like Famiclone, Dendy etc.

    Switch 2? Not yet that I'm aware of.

  • Despite setting up SmartTube for them, my parents still sometimes watch Free2Air TV. If you think YouTube is bad....jfc...try Aussie F2A TV.

    As for radio...I either listen to music on my USB stick or I play AM only stations (or occasionally, on a long drive, AntennaPod - gotta get that sweet Coast to Coast Art Bell on at 2am).

  • What's an ad? 🤔

  • Back then, have you ever pirated movie rentals onto DVD / VCD or ripped them?

    Jump

  • Speaking for myself - generally, no. A couple of reasons why. Even "back then" (early 2000s), files could be downloaded from torrents as needed in glorious 360-480p lol. Locally, illegal movies were easy to obtain as burned DVDs from corner stores / under the counter. I still have bodgy copies of LOTR (obtained in Bali, iirc). My wife OTOH would indeed rent DVDs and burn copies but that was never a thing for me.

    Honestly, the culture was different and we used to look forward to going to Blockbuster, Video Ezy etc. Browsing the shelves and actually watching stuff instead of "curating a collection". The hire terms were pretty reasonable (7 days). You could hire something, watch it over the week, and return it. $10 for 2 weeklies and a new release meant a week of viewing.

    I remember hiring box sets of 24, Firefly etc like this - never bothered to burn them because there was just too much friction. It's not like now where I can drop a DVD into a dvd burner and have it automagically appear on my NAS and Jellyfin.

    I do remember in the 80's and 90's though - we would hire Sega Master System games, unscrew the cartridge, swap out the PCB with one you owned locally (usually Alex the Kidd), return game to store (hires we strictly 1-3 days). That way you play for as long as needed, then "hire" the OG cart back and swap the PCBs back around.

  • Private music?

    Jump

  • Download the shit I want, stick it on a USB key and plug it into my car. The old magics.

    If you're talking about ambient music then you have things like Navidrome or Jellyfin that can stream music throughout your house.

    Ad hoc, on device streaming: I use PipePipe, choose a YT music playlist and just...play in radio mode. There are better options (like InnerTune) but those tend to crap out when YT futzes with their back end / aren't updated as frequently as PipePipe.

    I also have an iRiver MP3 player (about size of a box of matches) that's awesome.

    Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

  • TL:dr

    Plugin for on demand pirate streams (Debrid) as separate channel in Jellyfin (home media server).

    Less tldr:

    Plug in that turns Jellyfin into a torrent-stream aggregator without needing to manage torrents locally.

    Plug in takes Debrid services (RealDebrid, TorBox, etc) and serves them as direct HTTP streams in JF.

    The readme is sort of confusing (and there's an AGENTS.md if that sort of thing worries you) but that's what this appears to do.

  • Do older android devices spy on you less?

    Jump

  • Probably not. Which means - work phone should be entirely separate from your private device, not a dual sim.

    Have your work phone forward messages etc to your private device if you must, but enforce the hard boundary yourself if IT won't won't provide you with separate device.

  • Closed Source is a Leash

    Jump

  • It was a drop box alternative. I'll see if I can find it. I doubt it was removed... I suspect the dev didn't want to deal with the pile on.

  • Anything else? Would you like to see passport and blood tests too?

    "Make it my way or you're concealing something" is a wildly self entitled take.

    Your computer, your rules? Fine.

    The part that's actual nonsense is "closed source = compromised author with ulterior motives" and "engineers who don't prioritize FOSS are engineers I don't trust." You're automatically assuming mal-intent when there are 1000 other reasons why something might be closed source.

    That's not a privacy argument, that's a purity test in a trench coat. And here's what it looks like in practice - a dev ships a no-account, no-tracking, Tor-capable file sharing tool, and gets told it's "spam or malware" for not being open source:

    Prefer open source? Sure. Support it? Of course. "Demand" it as some sort of fealty oath? Yeah, nah.

    If you don't want to use something, don't. Maybe stop accusing others of being secret agents because you don't like their license.

  • A new community rule for language model disclosure

  • Cmon now...leaving Agents.md in the repo is bush-league :)

    You can bet your bottom dollar if the claude.md or agents.md hasn't been added to the gitignore, then it's -

    1. intentional

    2. actual slop (which you can more easily tell in 2 seconds of looking at the readme.md)

    didn’t say it has to be a tag, what I had in mind was a simple disclosure in the post description explaining how you used AI

    Same issue before though, be the actual disclosure a tag or a statement.

    I do take issue with inexperienced developers that create privacy related software without proper knowledge of what their code actually does (AKA vibe-coding) and going around promoting it as "privacy-friendly" and "secure" while that may not be the case.

    Slop is galling for sure but if we're talking about trust...well...why trust anyone based on what they say (or don't say)?

    "Trust but verify" means I still verify. If the thing is mission critical or important to you, then you SHOULD verify, always. Hell, if the threat profile is high, sandbox it and sniff the packets it sends.

    Personally, I think you having to look at the porn I look at is sufficient punishment for snooping on me :)

    Some of this is social engineering. "I have nothing I want to show" works even better when I literally can't (because X isn't on my phone or Y doesn't run on my PC)

    Maybe there are better ways to go about this though, which is partly why I created this post.

    I think so.

    Beyond the obvious slop (which is exceedingly obvious), you're going to waste a lot of cognitive bandwidth trying to sniff out AI.

    May as well assume AI is used by default and then do the due diligence on the privacy aspects that are of concern to you.

    That holds true whether the project is hand coded or AI assisted. If it's important, poke it.

    Assume all software is "guilty until proven innocent"

    But please don't fall into the FuckAI mindset because llm=bad.

    Most devs aren't going to perform contrition for AI use to appease vocal minority. They're just not. There's no up side for them and it reads desperate.

    I'm happy to tell you if asked because IDGAF if you use my shit or not. If I'm sharing it, it's free, open source and shared out of love. I have no brand or portfolio I'm trying to boost. If you can't see the USP, it's probably not for you - and that's fine.

    It also usually means I made it for me first, so I'm probably not out to steal bitcoin or nudes. Still, do your own due diligence and poke it. I would.
