there’s something to be said about the renaissance of a 30 year old technology that remained the same while the world changed around it and i wish i knew what it was. lol
As the dude from this picture, let me tell you that piracy was reeeally different 30 years ago (more like 25 for me). We were years away from DSL, downloading a piss-poor CAM rip of Star Wars ep1 took hours. Then you’d invest in a CD burner and exchange movies with your friends.
When I cancelled my subscriptions a year ago, I found out about Jellyfin and the *arr stack, took a couple of hours to set them up, and now I can download a whole show in a couple of taps while my friend is telling me about it, and watch it on my TV in 4K, or on my phone in the subway like 15 minutes later.
Sure, the underlying methods of acquisition haven’t changed much since BitTorrent came out, but the ecosystem is on a whole other level.

Every time I’ve dove back into the high seas the landscape had changed.
I enjoyed my last go around w Kodi using it as you described and I’m glad to know it’s gotten better.
