Happy to buy hardware if needed. Just trying to avoid large streaming services abhorrent business practices.

    I can’t imagine the electricity cost for 5 PB of storage though, God damn.

    I used to have a NAS and run my own media server and honestly at some point it just became more labour intensive for little gain. I found a good Plex share that has more media than I can ever imagine or need and if there’s something missing (which is rare), I just request it and 24h later it’s up. I pay less than $20 for that plus IPTV and I have enough content to last me until I die lol.

      Eh, I enjoy the maintenance of running my linux server personally and if something is missing, I can get it within an hour.

      Plus I need all the infrastructure for my other servers.
