Good production value and very faithful to the original as far as I remember it. It got a few chuckles out of me ; I think I’m in for the ride.

The Defenders ensemble cast mini-series happen between S2 and S3. That does not in fact answer your question, but hey stuff happens there.

You can hear a more detailed explanation on VLC’s stance from the man himself (JB Kempf) in the FOSS pod S1E11 episode around 22:10.

Basically:

• Not that many threats become lawsuits
• Patent trolling is countered with publicly accessible prior art
• Having no money is also a good deterrent

Be your own streaming service, and keep using the FireTV stick with the Jellyfin app.

I would say it is more of a practical consideration. Private trackers generally enforce upload/download ratios. This ensures the health of the sharing pool stays good.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is solid and Chainsaw Man is enjoyable, if a tad overhyped.

There is a lot to learn from the comp.lang.c FAQ, and you don’t even need to pirate it.

Well if large streaming services are off the list, then you could act as one. For instance you could host a Jellyfin instance and make it available to your “someone who is not tech savvy”. On the client side, Jellyfin is very much click and watch. But you take on the burden of being the service host and provider of content.

I am not sure you can find “something that just works” reliably over time without ensuring that yourself.
