  • Of course I’m really not a fan of whatever they do and I would never buy an Ubisoft game for at least a decade now, but I still think that a lot of people should don’t know what buying means and that they never, ever bought (and hence owned) a game or movie. Those are not material goods like a car, which you can physically transfer from one person to another. Those are intellectual goods, and ownership here means you own all rights for it, which usually only the publisher has. What you buy online or in a shop is mere a license to watch/play/use/whatever and a medium with the associated data (like a DVD).

    Therefore “piracy” had never been theft (or robbery, as it is called so nicely on German news). It is a license violation. Just that doesn’t sound as demonizing as the publisher want it to sound.



  • Thanks for the post and the last one. I finally understood, what prowlarr is doing! What I don’t get: which program is moving the files from the town folder to the respective media folder? Is it Sonarr/radarr? Because they don’t seem to have the right access for that. Another question, which I always wanted to ask: let’s say I have two computers, one at home which should host jellyfin and the other computer is remote in a network in which I don’t bother about VPN for torrent. How would you set this up? And which services belong to which PC? So, does Sonarr etc needs to be on the first or second one?










  • that is a good point, our flat is in an older house and feels like we need to vacuum every day… not speaking of the two meowing furrballs roaming around… that bringts me to another important case-related topic… I’ll never again buy a case in which the power buttons are on top… one of my cat was walking over the case and his paw was still small enough to press the power button… in the middle of a dota match… at least it lead to a good story
