    Exactly this and more.

    I’m not even pirating because it’s cheaper, or easier. I have near 100TB in storage, and it takes hours per week to search material, have it downloaded, checked, etc. I just am done with the marketing, the branding, the advertising, the bullshit rules. I just want to watch what I want to watch and media companies made this impossible so I’m forced to sail the high seas

      Wow that’s a lot.

      How do you not think too much about hard drive failures 😅

      Serious question though, how much do you spend on drives, they’re getting cheaper but it’s still around like 25€/TB where I live?

        Because its fun. Because i get obscure movies in high quality, maybe for posterity? I dunno, it’s a hobby. Why does anyone get a Warhammer 40K army?

        Because that’s like 20,000 movies and I need two new movies to watch every night until the day I die, thanks.

          More like 2500 and 250 complete series at the quality that I’m getting them.

          Yeah, I won’t ever will watch half of that but at the moment it’s a nice hobby

        Build your own Netflix gets expensive after a while.

        I found I watched a lot more once I installed Jellyfin rather than faffing around with files and folders whenever I wanted to watch anything.
