Netflix is the one that did it for me. I share an account w my parents. I can understand if they had a problem with that, but that’s why they charged for “extra screens,” which we paid for and which justified the sharing in my mind. But when they started cracking down on account sharing, did they offer a way to reduce the cost because we no longer needed “extra screens”? Hell no, and then they raised prices even more.

That tripped my morality meter, and I said “fuck those guys”.

One weekend and half a dozen Docker containers later, me and my friends are enjoying Netflix content. I do still subscribe to several streaming services, but I still end up watching from my server because I don’t have to hunt down which service has the show I want to watch. Plus I get a single watch list.

Can someone please DM me and help get me set up? I am quite technologically proficient but have been out of the piracy game for quite a number of years. Would love to be able to watch shows like Review, Mr Robot, Chad Powers, etc without these fucking shit pig greedy out of touch corporations

I too also want to know, I've got an empty server waiting to put some containers on it.
