WikiFlix is Netflix for public domain films, with no ads, no logins, and no data harvesting.

@oneguynick appears to be blocked on hotel wifi??

@ai6yr @oneguynick a meek suggestion for the #monsterdom peeps would be to seek their movies in streaming services that are provided by libraries, universities, such as Hoopla, Kanopy, etc, so people won't have to give a dime to corporations funding our enslavement.

Just a thought, fyc, fwiw, aybabtu, nggyunglyd, etc.

@sawaba @oneguynick

Not "blocked" that's your browser not liking the hotel MitM certificate so they can snoop and/or insert ads to an otherwise secure connection

@oneguynick

whoa feels like a collaboration with #peertube and #owncast is needed.

@oneguynick

Is it available via Roku ?

@faraiwe @oneguynick Yep, this is why I skip many of their events, even though I'd love to participate. Tubi is part of Fox, the propaganda network.

@pseudonym @oneguynick this is the only website I can find that it's doing it for

@faraiwe @ai6yr @oneguynick @Taweret

I'm pretty sure Hoopla's offerings are different for different people depending on what your local library has paid for. I get different stuff if I log in via my state library account versus my city library account.

For a while #Monsterdon was all stuff that was on Archive dot org. That was cool. But I think that's difficult for people because it's not actually easy to watch Archive on your TV. There's no app for Roku or smart TVs.

(Yes, I know there are nerdy ways to do it if you've got a PC in the loop somewhere. But that's not really the point.)

And doing only public domain stuff is very limiting. It's all very early talkies, plus films so low-budget that the studio didn't bother paying for copyright.

@ai6yr @faraiwe @oneguynick 1) oh shit for real? i didn't know, that sucks 2) @ryan does Owncast streams!

That's... Really odd.

The date stamp being today and it signed by Cisco makes it almost certainly edge decryption/monitoring.

Does it also not happen for smaller, less known sites? When you say no other sites had problrms, do you mean banks and "big" sites?

Hotels can configure interception on a site by site basis, and it's possible all the other sites you tried don't get intercepted?

Unlikely, but only explanation I can think of

@oneguynick Thanks! Also let's encourage people to slide Wikipedia and Wikiflix a few $$ to keep doing what they do.

@apLundell @faraiwe @ai6yr @oneguynick yeah I've gotten feedback that a lot of people like to watch on their TV's. also we had tons of issues with archive streaming being too slow and unreliable

@oneguynick is it an interface for archive.org or do things have to be added manually
