It might be silly, but do you know what else is silly? The price of the service, honestly 3 bucks per month should save you a ton of headaches that you would get if you want to stream torrents.

I love Stremio it is so simple to use and relatively easy to set up, I like the set it and forget it format it has (and your settings and setup are synced across all the devices you like).

With that said, geek me can’t leave aside Kodi for good, I have a Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 and that is where I use it, even when the setup I’ve for it is somewhat heavy (it makes my Shield struggle sometimes) I love thinkering with it, because… there is fun thinkering right?

My gf does Stremio almost always though.

Yeah… Trakt also started in the enshitification path though (for some it has been there for a while).

While using Stremio alone without a debrid service?

I think you do… perhaps not in the healthiest way, but it is something.

I am an old pirate and I cringe when people bash debrid services for their pirate pride, honestly it is a life changer if you are willing to switch to fully stream (I still seed the content I gather with the Arr stack for my Plex).

The glorified port forwarding issue is even worthless if you are a CGNAT user, and it is 2025 so I’ll assume everyone is.

Basically dead at this point

For free users though, there are some of us who paid for Lifetime Plex Pass tier a long time ago… I do wonder if Lifetime really means forever though.

I couldn’t get in contact with Nintendo in Mexico, I ended up buying those AliExpress repair kits and did it myself after several frustrating hours.

You couldn’t have said it better, I swear nobody knows the Steam Deck outside of Lemmy or Reddit in my close circle lol.

Also, I don’t mind tinkering, but for me Valve hasn’t done a great job there either because even to this day I can’t purchase one officially from Mexico LMAO.

No time to self host their own social media I guess.

Is this for real? Since when does IMDb rate YT videos?

I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.

I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.

Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).

It would be a real shame that they moved onto the next big thing while the Steam Deck is not even widely available.

DNS challenge? It is the 1st time I read about it.

I suppose in your LAN you need no VPNs then?

Hmm, interesting, how would I start doing this?

I use a Synology NAS BTW, so it already gives me a Synology subdomain to mess around.

A VPN? you still need a reverse proxy/domain to use it don’t you?

Ah, definitely clearer to me now, thanks, and it sucks.

Wait, just now?

Then why did I read online that it was insecure as hell to stay in Windows 8.1? (I was setting up an old lap for a mom’s friend, with 4 painful GBs of RAM).

Also, doesn’t Windows 10 support supposedly end next year?

I think I am not getting the kind of support that Windows provides.

Which phone do you have?

They weigh a total of 15 GBs anyways which is pretty much nothing

That is something, for my 128 gb Android phone without SD card slot.
