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

You aren't wrong. It is something to be careful of. Here's one source

Best might be to go with a known brand, get a Raspberry Pi, get something like the Intel Nuc if you want something more capable and a wireless keyboard to go with it.
