movie-web.app or justchill.tv, both developed by some seemingly pretty cool people and very well made.

[–] Kaizen@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yep both are great and in the wiki :)

[–] fangleone2526@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wiki seems kinda overwhelming. Seems easier to just point people in right direction immediately instead of having them sift through the TONS of links on the wiki, half of which are riddled with ads.

great on desktop, but on iphone solutions are all kinda sucky.

Hyperweb + Pi-Hole works OK

[–] fangleone2526@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

disagree. I don’t have a Pi Hole because i don’t have a raspberry pi, but i do have a couple apps for dns based filtration on the iphone ( dnscloak or lockdown for example ) and that + hyperweb has never come anywhere close to what ublock can do on desktop. still tap somewhere on a website and then a whole new tab opens and it’s an add for realtors at shockingly low prices and i go back to the original tab and try to tap the play button and the same thing happens again and i have to do it 3 times and it’s just a nuisance. Using a site that just doesn’t have ads though, works great! + movie web is selfhostable, so no matter what at any point in the future even if they put ads on their main instance you can spin up your own and not have that problem.

Mainly on ios im just sideloading itorrent and using stremio web to get magnet links and then playing them in vlc though: Using a website at all is kinda a mediocre way to watch something. That’s not something i’d tell other people to do though cause it’s kind of a chore and requires a vpn and all that.

You don't need to have a Raspberry Pi in order to use Pi-Hole, you can just use a normal computer running Linux. I obviously agree with you though, I just got an iPhone X a few weeks ago and it's super underwhelming, even with JB.

i already do have a normal laptop running linux, i’ll certainly give pihole on just normal linux a go. Can you use a normal linux laptop as a vpn router ? if you can that would be massively convenient to me. i kinda assumed raspberry pis had specialized functions for this kind of thing that just a normal computer wouldn’t

[–] ggt@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but not with Pi-Hole. It acts as a DNS server - you link it (either on your router or on your device), and it acts as middleware between the net, a standard DNS server (cloudflare, quad9, etc), and your device.

To set up a VPN, you can use something like Pritunl or Shadowsocks. Keep in mind, if you're hosting at your own home, it's more useful for accessing stuff remotely rather than for actual privacy / piracy. And for that case, I'd recommend ZeroTier since it handles basically everything.

You can certainly do special stuff with it - Pi Picos in particular are great for building your own hardware. But they're really only meant for small sizes and power consumption. You really don't need to hunt down for one otherwise.

what i want to do is host a second wifi network that leeches off a target wifi and just redistributes the connection, but with a vpn inbetween it ( mullvad or nord or vyprvpn ). Can a standard laptop do that for me ? this would not be for accessing stuff remotely, i have tailscale and / or chrome remote desktop for that, this for using a vpn on devices that don’t have the ability to get a vpn app on.

i did my own research and the answer was yes and i’m very happy about it thanks for pointing me in this direction

Aw man, that was one of my daily sites... No HLS, just right click the video and download. They were so up to date with everything!

:(

[–] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What was Soap2day? Never heard of it

[–] EGirlEnthusiast@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It was one of the most known about and widely used streaming sites. RIP another loss for the community

[–] mr_MADAFAKA@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Streaming site for movies and tv shows, probably one of the best out there

Aw man. Did it get popular or something?

[–] ggt@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It was pretty popular, but it's been popular for a while. They didn't give a reason but I suspect server/domain costs.
