With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.

So I am wondering if it’s possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?

    Kind of amazed Usenet is still a thing, I assume all the info is somewhere in the megathread how you find your nzbs and whatnot these days?

    My favorite period of piracy was back when I did private trackers, and it seems like they’re still around but back then I didn’t have to use a vpn, can you get credit for your seeding through a vpn? I recall them requiring I actually forward a port back in the day. Not getting into any of that mess lol

      I would start here: https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/index/. I’m using NZBGeek as my main indexer. Cost me $12 USD for a year of access. There’s lifetime for $80 or something but I’ve only just gotten into usenet over torrenting so testing it out. DrunkenSlug is also another highly recommended indexer, currently open for registrations. I’m using their free tier as NZBGeek has been sufficient so far. For my usenet provider I’m using frugal, $40 USD for a year of access. I’ve got this all setup with an old pc running Debian using docker compose with radarr, sonarr, jellyfin, sabnzbd and jellyseerr.

      Can’t speak to private trackers as I’ve never used them.
