Completely missed their opportunity to start the headline with "Proud New Dad" and having the reveal at the end be that he was no less proud of this before fatherhood.

Lmao I'm in the middle of showing my teenager how to pirate and why it is morally justifiable to not pay for Marvel movies.

Too bad lots of them are probably in 720x400 resolution (700-1400mb avi encoded 20 years ago) ._. cough cough cough

That's the only thing stopping me from hoarding petabytes of movies. They're going to be in an outdated format anyway before I get to see them.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 day ago

it's important to teach your children the importance of a healthy seed to download ratio.

I never clued in when I was a kid in the 90s but we had a collection of all kinds of Disney movies on VHS tapes with handwritten labels and usually 2 or 3 movies per tape. I just thought that was normal.

I'm sure my kids will just think their Jellyfin library is normal.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My kid's always asking my ex, "Mom, why don't you just get Jellyfin? It has, like, everything."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know she's your ex and all but you haven't shared / set them an servarr stack / Jellyfin up yet?

Booooo, Pirates of the high seas share their knowledge regardless of the person :p

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Believe me I've tried.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

We'd just tape them off the TV though, so halfway through you'd get an advert for a DFS sale that must end this Sunday, or that bizarre one about milk (Accrington Stanley, who are they?)

I later found out that they'd put these tapes on for us when they wanted to be left alone for a few hours. And we watched them a lot. Not sure what was more worn out by the end, the tape or my dad.

I feel validated.

[–] [email protected] 93 points 2 days ago (2 children)

My kids ask when I'm adding a movie to Jellyfin all the time

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Same. My two older kids (teenagers) will come to me with literal lists of albums and TV shows 😂

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Use Jellyseerr will make your life easier, streamline the approval process.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but then you'd have to live with clicking Accept on Skibidi Toilet: The Movie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

They are making a movie, god help us all, also this will never get approved in the house.

Ah, wonderful, a Jellyfin equivalent to Overseerr!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

If my parents were hosting Jellyfin, I'd have done the same.

Though in my family, I'm far more likely to be the one hosting, and receiving requests

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago

Mine doesn't care about jellyfin yet. Soon though.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

This is why I had to go edit all my media's metadata and even edit themoviedb.com with proper MPAA ratings.

Also why I have early childhood, late childhood, and screening libraries for both movies and shows in my jellyfin.

My kid is the only one in the cul-de-sac with Minecraft. We have quite the popular couch this month.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I'm already planning a Minecraft world with my 7 month old. Been trying to find a TV that allows multiple HDMI connections so we can do three way split screen with the wife when he's old enough.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

If I ever have a kid they will be the one that has friends over for Minecraft LAN parties.

[–] SplashJackson 4 points 1 day ago

Ha! Ha! And yet, it's all YIFY files!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

So true, man. So true.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I actually worry more about my kid accidentally narcing on me. Any parents have solutions for this?

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just hide a bag of cocaine in their room. Their credibility will plummit simply by pointing out to authorities that they have a hard drug problem and showing evidence.

what'd you say chief?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Raise your kid to understand when the right time to tell someone when bad things are happening and when to not. This should naturally be taught for what morals and ethics you would want to instill. So the solution is to raise your kids with understanding and don't live in fear. Explain why you move the way you do. Not just monkey see monkey do.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nobody cares. Tell your kids it's illegal once they are old enough to understand. My youngest just realized at 13. She always thought it was just another streaming service.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Now that I think about it, has anyone ever asked Netflix if they have the rights to stream what they're watching? Of course not, you just assume it's fine.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Spotify early projects may have used the pirated MP3s of the employees so...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Narcing you out to who the Motion Picture Association?

I guess it's some onion style website. The 20k fine made me not believe the story, otherwise it was totally believable, i know multiple guys who behave like this

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it’s a satire site that got big in punk rock circles some years ago making fun of the Punk and Hardcore scene.

I didn’t know it was still going.

Edit: there it is! https://thehardtimes.net/about/
