Some of you are already aware of this (especially those who participate in the Matrix room) but I moved to a new house toward the end of June. I'm *just now* starting to feel completely settled in to the new place.
Of course, last night, I tested positive for COVID again, so that kind of marrs the whole thing, but I'll get over it, lol.
I can't go to work this week so I'm planning on catching up on some games and TV/anime. I just updated ani-cli and I'm not afraid to use it, lol.
Oh, I've also updated my Gemini capsule, for anyone who's interested. I *now* have a *now* page, which I'm assured is all the rage in Geminispace currently.
Beautiful, I had never heard of ani-cli
Is it like popcorn time (torrent-based, seeds as it downloads)? If so, I might need to run it through a VPN.
Also congrats on the new digs. Me and my SO finally found a dream apartment after 9 months of constant searching. Our date nights were basically apartment viewings. It's a bit more expensive than we wanted, but we're just happy the search is over
I don't think it torrents. I'm pretty sure it does a scan of various "free anime" sites and rips the video an streams it to you through mpv. Then again, I'm the type who always uses a VPN at all times, so maybe it's better safe then sorry.
Congratulations on the dream apartment!
Thanks! And yep, I should probably start doing that too, VPN always on.
Also, another a great way to find other free media online without torrenting:
Revolution is a fantastic piece of irc software, and you can alias a lot of what was done above (e.g. autojoin a specific channel when you connect to a specific server)
Also, because the transfer uses a nonstandard port, I've found that the transfers are NOT filtered or rate-limited on public WiFi networks. Hell I've achieved speeds of 50Mb on the train.
I actually used to download a lot of anime through an IRC channel! Then it got shut down, lol.
Which channel should I join, btw? Your post just says "the channel."
Thanks for the recommendations!
