    Oh my… Love changed in a 8-year life span ! I guess nothing stays the same forever 🤷‍♂️

    • Honestly it’s hard not to wonder if they intentionally tried to get more people sharing before they pulled the plug.

        Back then it was the easiest way to get Netflix into the lives of more people. It reduced the barrier of entrance to almost zero and allowed people to get used to the service. Then, a few years later, when you pull the rug, people are already invested in your service and would rather become a paying member than quit

    Are they encouraging sharing passwords now? I thought they did a big crackdown on that after being okay with it for years.

    Edit: oh I went back and read the date.

      2017 my friend

      A time when men were free and brave

    • They encourage whatever gets them more money.

      In 2017 they hadn’t saturated market share and were still trying for conversions from people who weren’t using their product.

    Believe me, I’m so full of love these days, my discs are constantly spinning… Because of the love of course.

    I don’t have thus I don’t check Netflix. Anything on there worth the seed?

      Sure, the Castlevania Animation for example. “Love, Sex & Robots” also is a great anthology.

      Atypical is pretty good, it’s a coming-of-age about an autistic teen. It managed to evade the Department of Premature Cancellations for 4 seasons and even reached a satisfying conclusion.

    • haunted hotel is so fun; it just came out last week. it’s kinda in the same mold as bobs burgers.

    • There are plenty of resources online, but to get started I would go the easy route that I went and use docker.

      Look to set up an “arr” stack. Make sure you have it set up gluetun and link to a VPN.

      Essentially, you’ll buy a VPN connectio. Ensure this has P2P and Port Forwarding support.

      You then set up docker in a way that first connects the vpn. If the vpn doesn’t work then it won’t start the download client like qbittorrent.

      If you wait until after work I can share my docker compose file to give you an idea, but honestly if you’re somewhat capable with a keyboard then you can google you’re way to getting set up.

    • But also look into whether your ISP cares or not. Mine doesn’t and I’ve been seeding for years without any problems without any vpn.

    • Think about it let like this,

      When you open a port on your router you’re allowing inbound connections from the internet to that port via your WAN IP, with a VPN however, that typically does not work since you’re forcing all your traffic through a specific data centre with its own firewall. Most well developed VPN providers will offer Port Forwarding as a feature which usually opens a random port for people to make those inbound connections, you instruct your download client to use the port your VPN provider gives you so that people can leech from you without exposing your WAN IP.

      Hope that makes it easier to understand.

          or it could be it is not delegated at all…

          domain:        CATFLIX.SU
          nserver:       ns1.ddos-guard.net.
          state:         REGISTERED, NOT DELEGATED
          
          $ host catflix.su
          Host catflix.su not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

            hm… i am not sure if this can be config error, or some censorship child protection is happening here.

            i am in eu, in a relatively liberal country where no one cares about a torrent (yet), but i am in the vodafone network, so the latter would be not out of the realm of possibility.

            $ host catflix.su ns1.ddos-guard.net
            Using domain server:
            Name: ns1.ddos-guard.net
            Address: 185.129.101.200#53
            Aliases: 
            
            catflix.su has address 186.2.163.75

              i have not found single dns that would resolve the domain (tried google dns, opendns, opennic.org, among others), so maybe it is just a config error.

              $ host catflix.su 94.247.43.254
              Using domain server:
              Name: 94.247.43.254
              Address: 94.247.43.254#53

              Host catflix.su not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

                my friend doesn’t get the joke. why should we care you are irish?

                • It’s a line from Jurassic Park where someone is trying to be secretive about who they are (like this person is trying not to say they are from Ireland), so the other character shouts to the rest of the restaurant their name (“Dodgson! We got Dodgson here! See, nobody cares.”).

  • I love being one of only a few people seeding something. I just wish my internet connection was better so my upload speeds were faster.

    Try to understand it’s not about reaching some arbitrary upload goal.

    It’s about speeding up the P2P network.
