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.

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

Dad of the year

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.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 week 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] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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

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.

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] 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

[–] 6nk06 14 points 1 week ago

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

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 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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/

They even have a video game spinoff hard-drive.net

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just set up AndroidTV so they can watch ad-free YouTube.

Still need a better setup for extracting Amazon video without ads.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

My kids are so used to ad-free YouTube, they nag me when it breaks.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Man. It's bad. When I see an AVI in my collection I'm hit with three feelings. Disgust Nostalgia Conflict: replace it? Or keep. Because the hell if I'm keeping two.

Maybe I should just screenshot the media details?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] freebee 1 points 3 days ago

A good movie in 720p will always be a good movie. A crappy movie with shitty story and shitty acting will still suck in 4K or 8K or 4D or whatever will come. Like good vinyl LPs from 60s-70s never really went bad if they were well taken care of...

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

I feel validated.
