My fiancé lost her father recently just after we watched

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
The episode with the brother and sister losing their dad. She lives in another country, and I wasn’t able to be there in person. Instead, on a discord video call since she put her phone down while I was keeping her company, I watched as she cried out for her dad as they tried to revive him. I don’t think I’ll ever experience a more shitty moment in my life.

Thankfully, she’s now in higher spirits after a month and is being positive by looking at old photos, keeping up with hobbies and stuff.

Wishing you the best, I lost my mom when I was 11, no death of a loved one is ever easy.

I should get into that, I at least have all four seasons of WestWorld still available for viewing.

Yeah I felt like the only reason for it was to get the effects team an Emmy. Well deserved, but felt forced.

No pun intended.

Grief is weird and normal. Glad she's in relatively good spirits. Sometimes I get The Sads or The Grumpies and don't know why until I remember. Try to be patient with her and yourself. You sound like a good friend

And remember, grief doesn't have an expiration date

So will the mass cancellation

A seedbox that allows streaming is a great buy. I split the $40/mo cost among 4 people and have a server on 50Gb connection, 20TB of upload per month(streaming bandwidth excluded) and 8TB of storage. Using private trackers I can add new content nearly instantly (under 5 seconds for a 1080p copy, a few minutes for 4k things) so even if it isn't already available it'll be done before your popcorn.

People said the same thing about Netflix. Sadly, its not true. They gained record numbers of new subscribers after and recently hit a new milestone of 300+ million subscribers.

The new subscribers mostly came from emerging markets where Netflix is cheaper.

Hey I'm looking to get a seedbox myself, I don't have much storage left on my PC so I am looking for one that can host the files and let me stream them, preferably with Plex or Jellyfin somehow, can you share the name of your seed box provider

How do I find a private tracker?

None of my friends are very tech savvy, and thepiratebay sucks balls.

What a seedbox?

Ultra cc

A hosted server that exists to run bittorrent (and other things). Usually these are managed by the host so you don't need to know anything about managing a server. You just get a web interface to install and configure apps and credentials to connect to your FTP server.

The advantage is the server is usually located in a datacenter with incredibly fast and cheap bandwidth while also being in a country that doesn't care much about US copyright.

You can get cheap ones for like $5/mo with tiny storage. These are basically so they can download from Bittorrent and you can copy the files to your PC (using something like SFTP or rsync). This is a better, imo, option than torrenting via a VPN and protects you from your ISP/government determining that yoy use BitTorrent.

You can pay a bit more for other features too. I have more storage, more upload bandwidth and the ability to run streaming apps (Jellyfin and Plex) which don't count against my upload bandwidth.

The better torrent sites are all private and, generally, having a seedbox is a requirement for membership. So it also allows you access to higher quality sites with better seeded torrents.
