Hello everynyan,

So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that’s okay?

I’m recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate.

Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don’t want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off.

Things I’ve considered:

  • Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house
  • SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then

Thanks, -shitass

    For remote access just download the app and sign in. Plex can traverse your NAT for you and serve the files.

    If you want higher quality (you do), set up a VPN to connect your devices. Tailscale worms well for me.
