I’m on VPN so my highest is like 6.

I’m got a 100Mbps upload but nobody wants it through a VPN. 😢

Mate, this isn’t a new church roof.

Your fundraisers are going to want that money back and then some. Forever.

It’s weird that all the tier 1 ISPs have no such worries though.

They’re kind of small enough that if I want a PDF, I can just google it and download it from some random foreign university who are hosting it for some reason. You’d likely struggle to find more obscure stuff that way though.

I’d honestly skip SotC and play the remake on PS4. The controls are so much better it makes the original feel like QWOP.

Burnout Takedown was the purest Burnout.

I’ve got no time for all that “traffic checking” nonsense.

Primal is one that you don’t see mentioned a lot. Got a lot of attention at the time.

Fantavision was a fireworks based game. Quite chill, and one of things like Lumines that you just zen into one day and sail through, and then the next you struggle again.

GTA Vice City was superior to San Andreas in my opinion.

Kuri Kuri Mix is a cutesy top down co-op game. It’s no Split Fiction, but it’s by FromSoft so expect some difficulty spikes.

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

Because I like things to look good on a TV and surround system, not a phone with a tinny speaker.

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 think it mostly comes down to sharing stuff with others.

There’s a lot of stuff in Jellyfin you wouldn’t want to expose to the internet.

No idea if Jellyfin even has a client for my dad’s shonky old 4K TV, but I certainly wouldn’t be able to set up Wireguard or anything on it.

I had the point near the beginning of the file thing once and it was a really shitty file that only VLC could seek in.

ffmpeg fixed it, but I’ve no idea how because ffmpeg command lines are some arcane black magic shit.

I once asked somebody for a spreadsheet (they were trying to import the data into my software and it was failing), and got back a .doc file containing a screenshot of Excel running the spreadsheet.

I was in awe of how somebody could misuse so many pieces of software at once.

Indeed. What you are looking for is a spreadsheet.

Don’t overcomplicate things.

Why do people use this when Jellyfin exists?

It still works for now, but it would be neat if only the uploading part needed to go through a VPN since that’s the bit you can get in trouble for.

Would need a way of obfuscating the uploaders and downloaders though.

Jellyfin seems solid.

The only issues I’ve had are with dodgy media files. Obviously better player hardware gets you better performance, but transcoding eliminates some of those issues.

I do split tunnelling, so only the torrent stuff goes through the VPN.
