sudo-flix: the new movie-web (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

After movie-web got taken down including all their github repositories, a fork called sudo-flix emerged.

Their links are:

Github: https://github.com/sussy-code/smov
Docs: https://docs.sudo-flix.lol/
Instance: https://sudo-flix.lol
List of instances: https://erynith.github.io/movie-web-instances/ & https://github.com/sussy-code/smov?tab=readme-ov-file#links-and-resources

From what I can tell, it's a perfectly working fork. So go ahead and star, fork and host instances and code on other platforms!

what's the technical basis for this anyway? is it safe to use without a vpn (ie. is it using p2p connections). didn't find something immediately in the docs, maybe someone can shed some light?

It's basically just a website that searches different providers for a file and then plays said file. It is safe to use without a VPN (though still better to use with a VPN for general safety measure) as its the same as watching youtube or whatever... Hope that helps :)
