Guys, I think piracy is dying...
12:03:59
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
I'm worried about that
12:04:40
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
@weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org: Piracy? No. Privacy, yes.
12:04:52
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
Both
12:05:07
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
Piracy like pirating files
12:05:13
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
Movies, books, etc
12:05:29
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
Um, no.
12:06:31
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
Why not?
12:06:31
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
Have you tried to watch UFC and couldn't find it for free?
12:06:50
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
Streameast is always down
12:07:05
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
@weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org: Free? Not without jumping through a million hoops. But for a reasonable cost? Sure.
12:07:52
BlueyHealer:
<weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org> Guys, I think piracy is dying... <- How so? I've heard that said a short while ago, but now seems like it's back, because the streaming services and DRMed purchase options are hostile.
12:08:30
BlueyHealer:
I have no idea about IPTV sports, but I have been able to find Disney and PBS Kids.
12:08:43
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
@kaigoh:gohegan.uk: Reasonable cost? Bro, I don't pay shit
12:09:36
weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org:
BlueyHealer: Yeah there's a couple options out there but streameast is the best by far
12:09:37
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
@weiningerenjoyer99:matrix.org: And there might be your issue. I'm happy to pay (shit costs to run - time and money - , regardless of legitimate or illegitimate).

Greetings to all the people who helps making Monero such a great crypto.
12:09:39
jairbolsonaro:nope.chat:
I have a question about Monero's database choice. As said by some valuable contributors above, LMDB has a lot of write amplification for this specific use case. Since most blockchain data is immutable (as an example key:block hash value:block data blob), why not just creating an append-only database file for immutable data (th [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/7K_A7tcKMEhjTlE1 ]
12:09:39
jairbolsonaro:nope.chat:
Thanks in advance.

BlueyHealer:
I've heard some pay for Usenet access because it's more consistent than torrents... But I don't want to.
12:10:02
jairbolsonaro:nope.chat:
Should I post this to monero-dev for visibility? Here the chat doesn't seem very serious.
12:10:11
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
BlueyHealer: Shop around and you can get unlimited usenet access for a year for like $15
12:10:21
BlueyHealer:
I know there are some unlicensed streaming services that some people prefer paying for because they're convenient too.
12:10:55
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
BlueyHealer: Not a recommendation at all, but just to show what's out there: https://omegamedia.cc
12:11:20
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
BlueyHealer: Usenet + *arr stack + Jellyfin is the way forward.
12:11:28
BlueyHealer:
kaigoh, I had no desire for the more "interesting" pirate streams. But kinda weirded out by paying like this, it feels sketchy. A donation? Awesome. Payment for a service? Fear I'd be scammed.
12:12:00
BlueyHealer:
I don't have a card that would work for foreign services anyway.
12:13:19
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
BlueyHealer: Self host what you need then :)

DataHoarder:
<br-m> <jairbolsonaro:nope.chat> I have a question about Monero's database choice.
12:13:37
DataHoarder:
this has been done in cuprate
12:13:39
DataHoarder:
(append only database)
12:16:56
BlueyHealer:
kaigoh, how can you selfhost SOURCES TO GET CONTENT YOU DON'T YET HAVE? What did you mean? But yeah, I do use free sources.
12:17:30

@jairbolsonaro:nope.chat: você por aqui presidente?
12:20:32
BlueyHealer:
I get pretty much everything from one tracker, but newer American children's shows are often absent because I guess no one bothers.
12:21:24
BlueyHealer:
kaigoh, yeah, but you mentioned Usenet
12:21:38
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
BlueyHealer: Perhaps look into debrid services (you can do one off / crypto for some of them, I believe) to infill what you can't get?

kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
BlueyHealer: I'm unsure what you're asking?
12:23:49
BlueyHealer:
I am not asking, I'm just saying that in some situations one may be unable to pay for things with a card. And I was just pointing out your suggestions to selfhost something even though you cannot selfhost a source of content you don't have.
12:24:37
kaigoh:gohegan.uk:
BlueyHealer: That's a fair point. I was just telling you what I know can be achieved for a lower cost.
