That's a very specific but relevant tip!

Thanks for the info!

It's so funny because you can watch the show on the pokemon app but it has the same issue. The seasons are broken up weird, they have weird names. I think they have indigo league and orange islands and that's it. But it's not a "streaming service" by any stretch.

I'll look into jellyfin. I might just try and run it off my PC for now until I have a device I can chuck into my rack.

Haha this comment is keeping it real. That's a good point. I've never looked into a plexshare before. I'll have to look it up.

I think I salvaged like 6 of them. I'd have to dig them out of a box for a good count.

This is true... I have a feeling my PC is pretty power hungry. I'll see how hard it would be to get my PC to WoL. I could have it boot up on a schedule and then power off on a schedule.

I can always migrate off it later.

Huh I've never looked into Usenets. Any good learning resources on that? But also, your right about DVDs. I think early seasons of Pokemon are hard to find in physical media these days.

Hot dog, I just looked it up. So you set up Sonarr and tell it I want "Pokemon" and it just pulls torrents for the show from feeds it knows?

Now the obvious question I have is, how do I avoid my ISP from freaking out? Is it just as simple as putting it behind say, NordVPN?

It does give you authentication security in that, you should only have an issue if your instance is down. If the instance your account is tied to goes up and down then your ability to access your subscriptions and participate are also up and down.

I wish the identity stuff and authentication was separated from instances, but unfortunately it isn't.

What would forking do? The code has no ideology.

It's not about making the user leave, because of they know they are banned they'll try to evade. Shadow banning gives the desired effect while not tipping off the user. So they post away, to nobody.

Imagine doing something like this and not even being employed by Reddit. I can only imagine this is reddit admins doing.
