My sister thought my father would like the new #Matlock #TV series, so I've been #torrenting episodes and letting him watch them the next day.

Now because the show is on #broadcast #television, there's no new episode this week or next. It will come back for two episodes, then take a break again. My father wasn't happy. This is one of the reasons #LinearTV is losing viewers.

Para empezar. Se ha demonizado el uso de Torrent. Basta con hacer una busqueda en Google y encontrar solo referencias a "uTorrent". Relacionando su uso a descarga de archivos "pirata".

La tecnologia Torrent es descentralizada y se hace punto a punto (peer to peer). Es decir, te conectas directamente con la otra persona/computador sin necesidad de un servidor central.

Porque se ha demonizado su uso? En pocas palabras, porque es resistente a la censura. Para poder pararlo, tendrian que desconectar todos los ordenadores que esten enlazados.

BitTorrent es el protocolo detras. Por lo que existen varios clientes (o programas) disponibles para cualquier sistema operativo.

Aqui algunos de ellos: es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:

I love #SelfHosting, but there's one thing I don't get about having #Plex/#Jellyfin etc instead of #streaming services.

How are you regularly getting new media into them?

Ripping physical media? Seems easier just to use the physical copy itself...

#Torrenting? Same, but replace ripping with manual downloading.

#RSS? What?

Something else?

To me the main value of streaming services is having new interesting content show up automatically. Not sure how this can be done selfhosting?
