Came late to the party for Firefly but I've watched it. Fuck whoever decided to cancel it.

This was an interesting read. Good to know that from now on I should treat official CDs just like pirated content: with caution.
The beatings shall continue until morale improves
I'm gonna look into this, thanks! 😄
I have a few go-tos foe different types of content but it's always scary they might just stop existing one day.
...I mean...piracy's bad m'kay 👀
Jellyfin isn't perfect, but by god it's incredible! I've trued to contribute but the obly stuffeft is stuff I don't fully understand :(
Maybe one day...
A 5TB portable hard drive only costs as much as three months and can hold most of the stuff you ACTUALLY wanna watch. To be fair, DVDs and BluRays can get expensive but at least that's yours forever and you don't have to worry about the studio suddenly deciding you need to subscribe to THEIR bullshit too. If it's not available outside of streaming, well Gabe Newell said it best.
This may be more involved than most people are willing to go but just wanna add:
- This can be painfully slow without a dedicated GPU. Even low-mid range dedicated is gonna be a huge upgrade over CPU or integrated GPU so get one of those (if you can) or prepare to leave it overnight.
- I recommend playing with Handbrake settings a little. Use options with HEVC (x265) or AV1 for significantly smaller file sizes at the same level of quality. If you're leaning towards x265, an Nvidia card using the NVENC option is gonna be significantly faster.
- Handbrake has a preview feature which outputs a 30 second segment at the given settings. Very useful if you wanna tune the quality/file size.
Bonus: Look into Jellyfin for a streaming service like interface
All good shows that don't blow up to Stranger Things levels get cancelled and the recommendation algorithm prioritizes mediocre over great. Why would I pay for that 🤷♂️
This is the way. The only no-bullshit media platform is the one on your hard drive.
I used to pirate games because I couldn't buy them. Now I pirate games because the publishers are greedy cunts who do layoffs to appease shareholders, shutter studios that make good games, and pull all the shit Sony's pulling this year 🖕
Sounds like you saved yourself 2 more aneurysms haha.
I actually liked a lot of S1 and S2 (S2 being peak because enterprise crew just carry the hell out of everything) but I also like edgy and dark media and can overlook a lot if the tone is done in a way that grabs me.
S3 looked promising until the "big reveal". Couldn't take it seriously after that. Forced myself thorugh S4 and S5 but those were just straight up annoying. I can't stand it when things go wrong just because the protagonists are being stupid, or getting held back by some weird moral stance they clearly didn't have 3 episodes ago. What's even worse is when it's so generic I can accurately predict how a 40-60 minute episode will end within the first 10.

On Android, Flud has been good to me over the years even though the ads can get annoying at times. Hopefully it helps you get Linux ISOs on your phone with ease :)
