Someone get this man a radio show!

No, completely unrelated youtuber.

PTB.

I don't think having a simplistic or misinformed personal opinion is the same as misinformation. Context made it very clear this was your personal opinion. But not surprising from feddit.org at all.

I'm totally with you, especially the nationality thing. So first thing I pay for is my VPN. Allows me to read/watch geoblocked content and makes torrenting safer. For that value, it's a dirt-cheap investment. One example: You can watch LTW with John Oliver on youtube a few hours after it aired on HBO if you're in a country where the show has no official license (czech republic works).

For me it's not even about the money ... if it was at least comfortable enough, I'd probably be paying. I'm lazy like that.

But it's not convinient or comfortable. So now my money goes into hardware and I'm hosting my own streaming service, with blackjack and hookers!

Still, financially it will take a while to break even. Around 70 years compared to mid-tier netflix sub (but that was before they raised prices so it's less now).

“that’s what she said” isn't from the Office though. It's way older then that. It was already a catchpharse on Saturday Night Live in the 80s. Probably older then that still.

So in addition to paying for multiple streaming services, there is people that paying an additional service so they can sync the watch history of all the different streaming servies? Damn.

I'm so glad I can just watch everything on plex.

But have you seen the prices at Temu?

Life is like Belgium. Sometimes you just have to push trough it.

I guess it should be, but I've never tried storing files in the DB.

It's rather easy upload files to the file system with the Storage Facades, but that doens't have an build in way to associate the files with models. That's where the spatie media library comes in.

Are you set on storing your image in the database?

If not I'd recommend the spatie media library:

What's a DE?

Solution: Be unattractive.
