Netflix announced that it’s password crackdown “exceeded expectations”
I am so disappointed in you, US consumer.
I canceled my Netflix when this happened. I wasn’t really using it, but friends and family were. At least three of them created their own accounts when I canceled mine.
Same.
Of course they’re going to say that. They won’t provide hard data to prove it, but by saying it they can keep doing it and make it look like a positive PR move.
They’re a publicly-traded company, of course they’re going to provide hard data to prove it: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001065280/62b73aad-65fc-436d-9ab9-d622dc3eb462.pdf#page=12
They’re a publicly-traded company, they have to prove it. And they have.
I cancelled after the last hike, and my family has access to my plex server with great quality and reliability, and a simple request system. But they barely use it. They just got their own Netflix after I cancelled the one we shared that I was paying for.
Finally got fiber at my home and created many accounts for my family on my emby server. Wanted to give them access to my overseer server but I don’t trust it’s very secure. I will just let them access it and make requests when they visit.
I think a reverse proxy really helps with the security concerns
Not being a network guy, it took a bit for me to get reverse proxy set up on my Synology NAS, but now all my services run through it and have LetsEncrypt certs.
Highly recommend reverse proxy to obscure your services and make it easier for friends and family to find them!
Yeah, it wasn’t the easiest thing. Though, I think my biggest problem was due to docker. All of my services are in containers, reverse proxy included, and it took a bit to figure out that not all network types in docker containers can natively communicate with eachother. I think I ended up putting everything in bridged mode so they could all communicate.
You’re father along in the tech than I am, so kudos! I tried docker and just couldn’t get things to work how I wanted or expected. I’m sure I’ll try again in the future but had a kid in 2019 so haven’t really revisited it! You give me hope!!
FatFar out! You’re like the only person I’ve seen mention emby. It’s always Plex. Been running emby for a while and it’s great.
Do you use sonarr/radarr/jackett? I can’t seem to find any good indexers that actually work
Sonarr radarr prowlarr
Accounts with IPTorrents, AlphaRatio, and TorrentLeech
All my stuff comes from them
Awesome thanks!!!
Looks like IPT and TL are invite only or you can pay money… Is that how you got in or did you get an invite? Seems kinda sketchy sending them money for a seedbox I’ll never use. AT is inv only.
I got an invite for IPT from a friend, was my first private tracker. I think the others I got during open registrations they had.
I’ve got invites, you able to seed back for 2 weeks?
If multiple invitees have bad ratio, the inviter can have their account disabled. So usually invite sharing with strangers goes along with proof of past ratio.
There was a subreddit for it, maybe there’s a lemmy community
That would be awesome if I could get invites! I just set up a headless Ubuntu Server that will always be on and I can set up my seed ratio to infinite.
I’m rocking ProtonVPN pro with fiber so I have 1000Mbps up/down without vpn. Not exactly sure what the max up with that is.
As for proof I don’t have much. My only current one is 49gb downloaded v 53gb up
DM’d
Just curious, are you able to see the ratio of your invitees?
Just checked, and yes, on all 3 platforms I see the username of the person I invited and can check their stats, and I can also see the person who invited me and their stats.
I’ve been doodling around with Plex and sonarr in a Docker setup on my Linux box, but I’ve run into some issues that I can’t figure out. Any good resources to recommend for creating the optimal setup?
I can’t say I know of a good single resource, I’ve learned a lot about docker and linux over the years just googling and trying things. There are now a number of scripts and docker-compose setups that will get everything set up for you with little effort.
My setup is using docker containers running on the UnRaid OS. UnRaid makes docker deployment slightly easier, but it requires that a docker container also include a custom config file that allows it to be configured via unraid’s webui. I’ve found this limiting from time to time, when I find dockers that I want to use, but couldn’t install via the webui. So I learned a bit about using docker from the command line, which actually wasn’t all that hard. Especially with docker-compose.
One issue in particular that took a minute to figure out with docker, if you need the containers to talk to eachother, you have to be aware that certain types of docker network connections will not automatically see the other containers, even if both containers are connected to your home network.
Just stick with Plex/Jellyfin + any and all apps ending with *arr (aka the *arr stack).

Yup, this is exactly the issue I haven’t been able to figure out. For some reason, the files I download in Sonarr are associated with a user group that Plex isn’t a part of, so Plex can’t see the files (and I’ve tried adding Plex to that group and it still doesn’t work, argh). I know you can specify a UID and other specifics when you initialize a container, but inside the container itself that doesn’t seem to apply, it sets its own user parameters. I’m about ready to throw in the towel and just run the software on my machine itself with a VPN, because then at least everything will be able to talk to each other.
Luckily perms don’t seem to be much of an issue on UnRaid, I think there’s a solid convention for user and group so files are generally accessible to all apps.
Worst case scenario, you just
chmod 777everythingMake a new user group and add everyone to it, then change the permissions of the target directory Sudo addgroup newgroup Sudo usermod —append —groups newgroup user Sudo chown -r newgroup:newgroup ./*
I had the same issue. Adding it all to the same group fixed it for me
Just in case this helps, I think nearly all the docker containers in Unraid have these settings set: https://snipboard.io/D6ZagQ.jpg
Either they blatantly lie about the outcome of the password crackdown or they see no issues at all to showcase how mind-bogglingly greedy they are. I think I’ve read this week they claim that subscriptions increased by 6 million worldwide. You’d think that is enough increase in revenue for a while, but no, let’s increase prices now. Weird timing imo, unless they’re testing how far they can go
I feel like Netflix is nearing its end, and they are extremely aware
Yes what a bunch of dolts paying for the services they use instead of mooching off of others.
Well now they get to pay even more because Netflix realized what big suckers their customers are so… Congrats on being taken advantage of?
Right? Bunch of suckers paying for services. Everything should be free. Everyone should work for me and expect nothing in return.
You missed the part where they’re raising the prices, huh? I can’t fault you, it’s a hidden detail in the headline all about it. It’s hard to see it when you resist reading at all.
Netflix announced that starting today, users on its $9.99 per month Basic plan will now have to pay $11.99, and those paying $19.99 per month for Premium will have to pay $22.99
That’s insane. The only way those price hikes could possibly be justified is if the majority of movie/show creators had their catalogues available on Netflix. But they don’t because everyone and their mother wants their own fucking streaming service, ruining streaming for everyone.
No thanks. I got a library card and access to my entire county’s book/audio-book/movie/show catalogue for free through Libby and Hoopla. As for everything else I can’t find there… Yarr.
I always upvote library advocacy
“As we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more,”
But you’re not doing the first half, so you can’t do the second half…
Adding 100 shows that no one is gonna watch is apparently “adding value”. Incidentally, this new season of Love is Blind is fucking garbage. Very clearly scripted with actors.
Would you rather it be completely unscripted filmed with bums off the street?
Edit: didn’t think the /s was needed folks
Now THAT’S already more interesting than 99% of the content on Netflix. Don’t tease us like that!
Maybe not for that particular series, but hey, as long as the bums make scale, go for it! I might even watch it depending on what they come up with.
If I was actually paying for half of the streaming services I have, I would cancel them all. They are all shit. Maybe I’d keep Disney+ for my kids, but Netflix is a waste of money nowadays.
Bye bye Netflix. Onward to the high seas.
Arr
arrr
The only reason I keep it is because my son watches Number blocks and other educational videos there. But I did downgrade from 4K to HD and I’ll likely downgrade again at the next price hike.
Or you can download all of your kids shows and host it on a Plex or jellyfin server for them.
You know i might just do that. I even have a spare Orange Pi Zero 2 laying round here.

Piracy is always a service issue. It never went away, and it will never go away. Why should I spend the little money I have on a service that repeatedly jacks up prices, while also killing your favorite shows, or losing licences to stream other content?
Management every time they increase the price.
Netflix, what are you trying to do? I can’t cancel my subscription in protest if it’s still cancelled from the last time you did something boneheaded.
Could always call and demand they cancel even harder.
Join, and cancel the next day.
I have herd you will get the money back and one month free.
While pretty useless it will show up in the churn metrics.
I’ve probably been subscribing to Netflix for a decade now, but this is the largest price increase they have ever done on the basic plan, and this is the first time I have seriously started to consider cancelling.
I need to go through my list and figure out what I really want to watch, and then just binge it. (I have never binge watched anything, but this is giving me an actual incentive to)
Or… Just… 🏴☠️
I canceled four years(?) ago and haven’t looked back. The quality to crap ratio of their originals was so high and the back catalog was evaporating. Everything I wanted I could get on DVDs at thrift shops and rip to my Plex library or watch on Hulu (which is provided free with my cell plan).
Is this a monthly thing now?
Seems like

The monthly savings for other people to switch to your plan just increased!
Another reason I won’t be returning as a customer.

Cue all the “that’s it, I’m out” comments. Seems like no one actually ever leaves.
I cancelled all my streaming subscriptions last month. Netflix, Disney, HBO.
I’m a full time pirate now with iptv and I’m a member of a forum where you download from each others mega cloud.
With my 1Gbit connection it is fun to download again
Can’t leave if you never started

According to my email history, I cancelled in March 2022. So there’s one person.
I left. Only thing I have left is Hulu and I’m about to boot them too.
