Honestly I put up with doing that when the prices were better. After damn near 15 years I had to dust off the hat and sail the seas. It forced me to learn how to set up a home server which I've never even entertained the idea of until now.

I'm about to be in the same boat (pun intended). I think I'm going to learn to use Linux and set up a home media server at the same time.

Kind of a cool hobby, you will have your problems in the begging but as soon as everything is set up stable, it is quite convenient. I personally use openmediavault (Debian based) as my host OS and Docker containers for all services I host. I can highly recommend Jellyfin for your own media streaming service

[–] KlausBlub@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

I also favor jellyfin over Plex. It's FOSS and runs perfectly on most NAS.

I used the guide from this guy when I built mine and it was immensely helpful in getting the storage system up and running. That docker-config file shared in another comment is also pretty handy.

Just Watch is a great app for finding out where something is.

Yes. It is fucking ridiculous that we need an app to find this stuff, but at least there’s an app…

:/ This doesn’t seem to take regional differences into account.

Guessing by your username, you could ve interested in www.werstreamt.es (the pun with the spanish TLD is kinda great, ngl)

[–] bleistift2@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Thanks for sharing that.

You can still buy DVDs can't you? What I miss though is being able to rent movies at a place with a big assortment.

Do they still come with unskippable ads telling me to not download a car?

[–] Macros@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Not if you rip them or put them into a software player. You can automate the ripping easily today and you are on the fine side morally speaking and get extras and deleted scenes if you want them.

Don't forget that when you search you also need to wade through AI-generated SEO trash that doesn't actually tell you which service it's on.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago

I'm so fucking done with the garbage AI articles that give nothing. Do nothing. Just waste time and space to try to eat up and revenue I don't even give because I have ad blocker sup to wazoo. If I had any way to punish them for the damage it's doing to the internet I would in a second.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is anyone aware of any lemmy communities for running a home media server?

[–] thegreekgeek@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago

There's three that I sub to: selfhosted, runityourself, and selfhosted. Not sure what's with with the latter two, I subbed to them both to be safe lol.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think God for all the illegal streaming sites out there. Because God knows that it's not safe to torrent these days

[–] vinhill@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Though some streaming sites are torrents in the background.
