Not saying I disagree, would love to here some more thought on why though? Especially if your device has biometrics like fingerprint/touchid?

I'm confused why it wouldn't use https/TLS?

Dude I love walks through computer history like this and I'm just bummed that the CEO didn't entertain it even a little. Obv still fit the theme but damn

Loved the article though.

pirating for parents that lack technical literacy? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello everynyan,

So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that's okay?

I'm recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate.

Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don't want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off.

Things I've considered:

  • Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house
  • SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then

Thanks, -shitass

It's just for piracy

Does that mean when you're opting for the latter the payment method doesn't matter as much?
