its been fun. ive been sailing the seas for.. shit... since inception. remember Myth!? watching all these providers come and go is almost entertaining.
the only real affect ive ever felt was once streaming became a thing, that content became higher quality and hits the water far faster than it used to. so, thanks for that!
ive been running storage devices (nas) since the late 90s... for media server its been MythTV.. then later SageTV (google murdered) then XMBC and now its kodi+jellyfin.
initially it was a lot of ripping physical media... it was awesome when netflix came up with the 'we'll send you 7 disks at a time (and then 5 and then 3), i was returning them within hours of receipt. nowadays i have a seedbox/central torrenting server so the kids can help.
i still have MP3s i downloaded on the OG napster.
Lol 20 years later I still have an album where my favorite track is only 98% complete because my dialup connection dropped when I was downloading it from Kazaa, and I just said eh, good enough.
yes! this is me! a few songs have a glitch that, after 20+ years is absolutely ingrained in my brain.
it would be trivial to replace, but i just dont care enough to do it
