Yes, but... it's like comparing people that go to the cinema and people who watch reels on Instagram.

Okay, both things involve watching a video, but they are two very different experiences.

TorrentLeech, DigitalCore Club... they both sometimes open registrations

Torrent forum? That's interesting. I've only used private torrent trackers like TL. Any recommendations?

TorrentGalaxy is up, but if you can't open it maybe your country has DNS censorship.

Just change your DNS servers to something like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 (Cloudflare DNS and Google DNS respectively).

You can change your DNS from either your computer settings or your router (the latter is recommended because it applies to all connected devices).

So maybe we shouldn't worry after all? Future generations will make fun of us because we can use Windows XP fine but we don't understand how TikTok works?

thinks deleting installers will delete the installed program

Now I get why Windows XP had an alert that said you weren't going to uninstall the program when you tried deleting a link to a program

Good luck finding Netflix for $2

I think there's a misconception.

Plex can "hide" (not really) your own server because you can direct your users on Plex.tv (they can login there, etc. without ever typing your IP address).

But Plex can also use an internal reverse proxy that lets you see your content from outside even without port forwarding. However, quality and speed will be decreased.

I think Jellyfin should work to ease the process of setting up your server as much as they can, but unless they start managing a SaaS like Plex does, they'll never be able to offer the same simplicity for the end user.

Wasn't Jellyfin developed using the Emby source code as a starting point?

You can always start creating your own personal media server, using apps such as Plex or Jellyfin, and qBittorrent, SABnzbd, etc.

Discord is awful for everything that's not live audio chatting. And even in that case, I think Telegram groups work better.

Yes, we just have to collectively make Lemmy grow until it's a true and complete replacement for classical monolith websites such as Reddit and Facebook groups.
