My wife and I moved into our first house together on Halloween, 1995, so that night we drank a bottle of champagne, watched Young Frankenstein, and handed out candy. Every year since then we've done the same thing to celebrate our anniversary of living together, though sometime a different movie. This year, we couldn't find our DVD, so decided to stream it and found what you did. Apparently Disney bought it and for some reason decided not to make it available. Very frustrating.

Consolation prize: the Gene Wilder documentary on Netflix is pretty good if you haven't already seen it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

I was not aware of that but will track it down.

RIP to the whole cast of this film.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 47 minutes ago (1 children)

You probably can get the bluray from one of those bulk sellers. Pick up a bunch of movies and get combined shipping

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 minutes ago

Yeah wouldnt that reward bad behavior?

Although buying physical also send an important market msg

[–] [email protected] 2 points 49 minutes ago

I watched it on a website a few months ago for class

[–] gdog05 10 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Find a spare/cheap computer. Install home assistant/unraid/TrueNAS (bunch of platforms that run docker and have app installers but any of those three are pretty easy to get running). Pay for access to a Usenet backbone provider and one or two Usenet search providers. Black Friday will have some sales on yearly subscriptions. Install Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseer, and Bazaar (if you're huge into subtitles like me). Alternatively, also install and setup Prowlarr. Get your Usenet stuff working in Prowlarr. Point Radarr and Sonarr at Prowlarr. Point Jellyseer at Sonarr and Radarr. Share with friends. I will personally handhold anyone who wants to do this for themselves.

Please teach me

[–] gdog05 1 points 3 minutes ago

If you happen to go the Unraid route (Unraid is fantastic, but not free) Spaceinvader One on YouTube has great tutorials. That's where I got most of my info initially. It's definitely worth it and I think a good deal easier. I am not good with code and really like having a visual interface and it helps with that. I am not a master at any of this but I've learned a lot and I'm pretty comfortable now. To do a YouTube series myself, I feel like I'd need to know more. But there are definitely resources out there to get you going. If you follow some of this and run into problems, feel free to reach out to me. Or the selfhosted community here has been amazing. But you might start with one of the aforementioned frameworks. I think it's easier than going straight to docker. Docker isn't difficult, but managing IPs and networks and ports can cause some frustration and confusion.

This guy has a pretty good install on home assistant operating system (HAOS is important. Not just home assistant, but HAOS). When you have HAOS up and running, you can add the respiratory that Alex Belgium has created. He's done a great job at getting so many docker containers ready to go in home assistant. Huge, huge props to the guy. And once you have the repository, you can start to install the individual containers and it's not terrible. I think Spaceinvader One's videos can get you through much of it. Just skip the installation part and go to setup.

It's a lot and I can't go step by step but I will answer and help in someone's journey as best as I'm able to.

I need to be learned

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

why usenet over torrents?

[–] gdog05 3 points 1 hour ago

Quality and ease. Torrents don't always have enough seeders or they disconnect. You can get by on them, but it's a case of getting what you pay for. I go through a lot of media as do my friends using my server. The cost is negligible and basically means I have no headaches.

[–] bokherif 1 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Is jellyfin considerably better than plex for local and offline usage?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago

Client apps are more limited but otherwise floss purist swear by it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 44 minutes ago

Personal preference, really. For me, jellyfin is much simpler to use, very easy to self-host in docker. And the clients are great too. I use desktop, android and roku regularly.

Doesn't anyone rip library DVDs any more?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes. My library has some DVDs but not this movie.

[–] toiletobserver 45 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Don your pirate hat and sail the high seas, matey. Arrr.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The solution is there... but it will take time for normie core to require this vital skill that was lost due to netflix.

Remember folks, media is 100% discretionary spend, if corpo does not give you the service you need, it is well within your ability to punish the parasite's profit ;)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

A friend showed me their workflow for piracy and it's really incredible just how easy it all is. Literally just download an OVPN config from whatever VPN provider you subscribe to, connect to the VPN and search in qbittorrent (and use the link in qbittorrent to download the necessary search plugins)

Like obviously this is a few decades of software refinement, legal battles plus a fair amount of large companies turning a blind eye to the obvious. So it's shoulders of giants and all but it's still kinda jarring

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

key here is the decentralized model. if you note how they are always going after other corpos or institutions to enforce their "property" rights. there is no effective way to go after global population on individual basis. they tried suing people in the US but that backfired as public opinion sided with grandmas lol

fedi is already using this approach. that's the only effective way for plebs to send a message.. vote with your feet, find services that respect you. anything less than that is an extraction/exploitation racket. most key industries work like that and there is no recourse for things like housing, education, and healthcare.

[–] Juvyn00b 2 points 1 hour ago

Just as an fyi - people are still getting successfully sued on US soil when trackable (someone didn't use VPN)

[–] TwoBeeSan 16 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh no I fell on the keyboard and this link appeared.

Netflix selection has gotten worse and worse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 32 minutes ago

Oh no, I also did that thing you did and randomly generated a streaming link

[–] FlyingSquid 28 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That's simply unacceptable. I have a copy, but that's still unacceptable that you can't stream a film that amazing anywhere legally.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

My point yes, thanks. Now how is the young generation going to learn how to pronounce Igor?

My kids will probably never buy a dvd player but you can bet I'm showing them how to find things like this regardless.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

“Eye-garr”

listen here you…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Now how is the young generation going to learn how to pronounce Igor?

Tyler, the Creator?

[–] FlyingSquid 13 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

It's pronounced Igor.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Lol I know you meant that as Igor, but I totally ready that as Igor at first

[–] someguy3 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I read it was pronounced Igor.

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

I suppose they also say “Froderick”

[–] NocturnalMorning 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's actually not right... it's Igor, with an r.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 4 hours ago

Oops, you're right. My apologies to his family.

[–] reddig33 12 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Looks like a 20th Century Fox production. Which Disney owns now, right? So why isn’t it streaming on Disney? Kind of pathetic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

I think it's either:

they have to pay residuals to the actors for every stream, and they'd rather not do that
not 100% sure if it applies in this situation, but somehow they can write off the value of media just by making it unavailable, which gives them a tax break

[–] theunknownmuncher 2 points 2 hours ago

Have it on DVD

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

In this case, piracy is the moral thing to do. I wouldn't even call it piracy at this point.

[–] Subtracty 2 points 2 hours ago

Desperately wanted to watch Young Frankenstein in the week before Halloween. It's just the right kind of relaxing spooky comedy. Tried to find it legally. Honestly tried for longer than I am willing to admit. For a few years, the subscriptions were just so convenient, and I didn't have to worry about getting a virus or knowing which link to click. Well, no Young Frankenstein was the final straw. Bring on the high seas!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

About 80% of my use of Netflix is "hear about a cool film, open up the app, it's not on Netflix, close the app".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The other 20% is: Netflix creates a amazing series, I hear from it like 3 months later, watch the whole thing, ending with cliffhangers, and its already cancelled.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I always wait and check first. Like that show 1899, looked pretty damn great but I'm not watching something about anything mysterious that got cancelled

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm watching Silo because there's a book anyway

[–] jrwperformance 1 points 10 minutes ago

A 3 book series. Really good.

[–] Subtracty 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Immediately thought of 1899 when cancellations were mentioned. It was so damn good. Atmospheric, moody, mysterious, well written. I am fucking livid that the story won't be completed.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago

YAHARRR!!! DON'T BE SO QUICK TO LOSE HOPE YOUNG SAILOR!!!! For the riches you seek are not far away!!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

I’ve only ever seen this in the original VHS

[–] Zanathos 2 points 3 hours ago

Guess I better borrow it before it's hard to find!
