If buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.
Fair winds and following seas to you fellow sailors, arrrrr
From my nixos config.
Corps are fucked, I've got no issues pirating content. If I want to support someone I'll pay up but the majority of content is background filler for me.
Why would I want to sub to Amazon just to watch Jeremy Clarkson's new show, where he was paid $200m to support him? It baffles the mind the volume of cash that's thrown around in that world.
I'd much rather spend my money down the pub on a Sunday, which is owned by locals, has local beers on tap with a local solo musician jamming out the front.
For me, there's much more value in an experience with the quirks of it being live, a quick witted bartender, a great cover, an old bloke retelling stories he's told 100 times before, a forgotten lyric or even a snapped string on a guitar.
Or I'm starting to show my age 😎
Nah man you got the right mindset, I'm right there with you. Fill'em full'ah day light! Arrrrr
What's the config?
It's fairly basic, am migrating to OCI containers for majority of services.

Will be defining paths in the OCI containers currently it's manually configured for the most part. Mainly to do with folder perms being a bitch like networking (for me).
