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

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.
@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

@ai6yr @faraiwe @oneguynick 1) oh shit for real? i didn't know, that sucks 2) @ryan does Owncast streams!
Yeah I've always downloaded from Archive or watched the owncast. Ryan's extras are fun!

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
@pseudonym @oneguynick I've been doing broad research and work all day - have probably loaded over 100 websites (including infosec.exchange, which is as far from a bank as you could probably get), which is what makes me suspect it's probably a bad categorization in some kind of content filtering
confirmed I can get to the site just fine on other networks, just not via Marriott's hotel wifi.

@pseudonym @oneguynick Spotchecked a few other cname.toolforge.org sites and they all work. It's just Wikiflix

Is it available via Roku ?
@the5thColumnist @oneguynick Yesterday I searched for it on my Roku and nothing came up. I think they’d need to develop an app.
