Lmao I'm in the middle of showing my teenager how to pirate and why it is morally justifiable to not pay for Marvel movies.

Too bad lots of them are probably in 720x400 resolution (700-1400mb avi encoded 20 years ago) ._. cough cough cough

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 6 hours ago

That's the only thing stopping me from hoarding petabytes of movies. They're going to be in an outdated format anyway before I get to see them.

it's important to teach your children the importance of a healthy seed to download ratio.

I never clued in when I was a kid in the 90s but we had a collection of all kinds of Disney movies on VHS tapes with handwritten labels and usually 2 or 3 movies per tape. I just thought that was normal.

I'm sure my kids will just think their Jellyfin library is normal.

[–] drhoopoe@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My kid's always asking my ex, "Mom, why don't you just get Jellyfin? It has, like, everything."

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know she's your ex and all but you haven't shared / set them an servarr stack / Jellyfin up yet?

Booooo, Pirates of the high seas share their knowledge regardless of the person :p

[–] drhoopoe@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 day ago

Believe me I've tried.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

We'd just tape them off the TV though, so halfway through you'd get an advert for a DFS sale that must end this Sunday, or that bizarre one about milk (Accrington Stanley, who are they?)

I later found out that they'd put these tapes on for us when they wanted to be left alone for a few hours. And we watched them a lot. Not sure what was more worn out by the end, the tape or my dad.

I feel validated.

[–] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 93 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My kids ask when I'm adding a movie to Jellyfin all the time

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Same. My two older kids (teenagers) will come to me with literal lists of albums and TV shows 😂

[–] themachinestops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Use Jellyseerr will make your life easier, streamline the approval process.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but then you'd have to live with clicking Accept on Skibidi Toilet: The Movie

[–] themachinestops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

They are making a movie, god help us all, also this will never get approved in the house.

Ah, wonderful, a Jellyfin equivalent to Overseerr!

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

If my parents were hosting Jellyfin, I'd have done the same.

Though in my family, I'm far more likely to be the one hosting, and receiving requests

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 day ago

Mine doesn't care about jellyfin yet. Soon though.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Ha! Ha! And yet, it's all YIFY files!

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 53 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

This is why I had to go edit all my media's metadata and even edit themoviedb.com with proper MPAA ratings.

Also why I have early childhood, late childhood, and screening libraries for both movies and shows in my jellyfin.

[–] EstrangedMoistness@beehaw.org 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm thinking about doing that! My 2 year old is still too young for that, but when he's ready, I hope I am too! Do you have any tips for organizing your library like that? Did you use commonsensemedia or sites like that?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I recommend just thinking of the things you liked as a kid or you that you think might teach your kid something you think is important and watch it first (screen) Then place it into the appropriate library.

I've been using two separate libraries, "early childhood" which kinda works out to g ratings (3-7 years) and "late childhood" which is kinda like PG (7+) but there is overlap since something's are just not rated or sometimes I disagree with the rating.

You'd be surprised how many things for kids might not teach them anything worth while or might induce nightmares. So I just don't put those into the kids libraries. Once you have media stored in children libraries, then you can make a child account for jellyfin if you want.

Obviously, research what screen time does to children and decide for yourself how much screen time you feel your child should have. Personally, I don't even turn in a screen around my child until we spend 2 hours outside and then its only for 15 mins of passive watching a day. I also like to use animation for children as its good at portraying emotions. Also after we watch something we talk about it. Episodes of Bluey and most studio Ghibli films work well with this method.

[–] EstrangedMoistness@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Thanks for the heartfelt response! I'm almost done with screening Bluey (loving it) even though I don't plan on putting my kid in front of a screen for as long as possible ("Screens: the later the better" is our motto for now)

My kid is the only one in the cul-de-sac with Minecraft. We have quite the popular couch this month.

[–] manicdave@feddit.uk 3 points 12 hours ago

I'm already planning a Minecraft world with my 7 month old. Been trying to find a TV that allows multiple HDMI connections so we can do three way split screen with the wife when he's old enough.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 day ago

If I ever have a kid they will be the one that has friends over for Minecraft LAN parties.

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I actually worry more about my kid accidentally narcing on me. Any parents have solutions for this?

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Raise your kid to understand when the right time to tell someone when bad things are happening and when to not. This should naturally be taught for what morals and ethics you would want to instill. So the solution is to raise your kids with understanding and don't live in fear. Explain why you move the way you do. Not just monkey see monkey do.

Just hide a bag of cocaine in their room. Their credibility will plummit simply by pointing out to authorities that they have a hard drug problem and showing evidence.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

what'd you say chief?

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nobody cares. Tell your kids it's illegal once they are old enough to understand. My youngest just realized at 13. She always thought it was just another streaming service.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Now that I think about it, has anyone ever asked Netflix if they have the rights to stream what they're watching? Of course not, you just assume it's fine.

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

Spotify early projects may have used the pirated MP3s of the employees so...

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Narcing you out to who the Motion Picture Association?

I guess it's some onion style website. The 20k fine made me not believe the story, otherwise it was totally believable, i know multiple guys who behave like this

[–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it’s a satire site that got big in punk rock circles some years ago making fun of the Punk and Hardcore scene.

I didn’t know it was still going.

Edit: there it is! https://thehardtimes.net/about/
