Kodi ain’t a self host tool, nor a server though but it is a great player, and I happily use the big 3, Kodi, Stremio and Plex (I’d add Cloud Stream as a runner up).

And make a call like a psycho? No thanks, Telegram it is (actually OP here is quite lucky, in my town it would be WhatsApp or Messenger only…).

This seems only specific, do you have a timer?

Yeah, but you need to concede that their efforts to block “unofficial” users have strengthened as of lately… That’s why I think they might do a Xiaomi move sooner or later.

1. Pixel, and immediately install GrapheneOS.

I am surprised Google still allows to open the bootloader, with all the bitching they have been doing towards sideloading apps, play integrity BS and making android more similar to iOS in general terms…

I missed out on Digg and started right with Reddit, if it is alive or back, it would be a fun experiment (or maybe not a fun one).

Ah, so it is manual work? I mean nothing to do with YouTube handling.

That is why I started liking (or disliking) every single video I watch in YT, which I am honestly not a fan of as I am helping to craft the algo lol.

But at least if I see a like or dislike I know for damn good I can skip it, even if I don’t remember it…

How does a second Watch Later playlist work?

Wait, I didn’t know Mozilla actually owned Pocket, I thought they just had a partnership or something…

I used to main Pocket back in the days when I had an iPod Touch 4G and older iPhone models, nowadays… It is storing articles from those days that I bet I haven’t gotten to read 😂

Man, one gets a backlog of everything these days.

It might be silly, but do you know what else is silly? The price of the service, honestly 3 bucks per month should save you a ton of headaches that you would get if you want to stream torrents.

I love Stremio it is so simple to use and relatively easy to set up, I like the set it and forget it format it has (and your settings and setup are synced across all the devices you like).

With that said, geek me can’t leave aside Kodi for good, I have a Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 and that is where I use it, even when the setup I’ve for it is somewhat heavy (it makes my Shield struggle sometimes) I love thinkering with it, because… there is fun thinkering right?

My gf does Stremio almost always though.

Yeah… Trakt also started in the enshitification path though (for some it has been there for a while).

While using Stremio alone without a debrid service?

I think you do… perhaps not in the healthiest way, but it is something.

I am an old pirate and I cringe when people bash debrid services for their pirate pride, honestly it is a life changer if you are willing to switch to fully stream (I still seed the content I gather with the Arr stack for my Plex).

The glorified port forwarding issue is even worthless if you are a CGNAT user, and it is 2025 so I’ll assume everyone is.

Basically dead at this point

For free users though, there are some of us who paid for Lifetime Plex Pass tier a long time ago… I do wonder if Lifetime really means forever though.

And a couple of backups in case it goes down (it goes down sometimes).

my instance is federated with them, but I have every single community of theirs I’ve ever seen blocked now.

Wait, we can instance block nowadays, why going through every community?

Pocket Cast, because it is the only option to have my queue synced along all my Android, iOS and even Alexa devices (I don’t pay the subscription so I am missing out on the desktop and website ones), if there is an alternative for it, please enlighten me.
