minus-square@Gmork@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•edit-22 years agoScrew that! Months ago I realized just how much I watch YouTube and how much of my time was wasted watching ads. I bought a cheap tiny computer to use as a settop box. It hooks rght into my TV. Firefox + Ublock Orign and now i am watching YouTube ad free. Since, I have set up Jellyfin on the same pc and have my hard drive full of movies streaming to all TVs in the house with a netflix like interface. Seriously. Getting A small PC as a dedicated set-top box Is the best decision I have made in a long time.
