Yeah, I knew the point, but then I realized my NAS in the basement is basically a more convenient Redbox with more movies for free and wanted to brag about piracy. It’s just so good. It would be cool to have a Redbox machine but tbh I’d really prefer one of those Netflix CDN boxes.
Network Attached Storage. A computer on a network designed to store files people work on. It usually has several hard drives that work together for extra speed and redundancy if a hard drive fails.
A Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a storage device that is put on a computer network, so different users can access it. Think of it as your own personal cloud.
Naw, if I’m going to have a DVD jukebox, it’s gonna be as bootleg as it gets. Converting AVIs to whatever the fuck format DVD players understand was a pain in the ass then, I’m sure converting MKVs backwards to the same format is still equally annoying, but it’s the principle of the thing.

If I had the space and money to buy a Redbox machine, I would just so I could have one of the coolest storage devices for all my DVDs.
That’s the function of my NAS, the bonus is it holds significantly more movies and doesn’t cost anything to rent 🏴☠️

That’s called Jellyfin
I think the implication was they wanted the actual physical part, not just access to lots of movies
Re-thinking it, I think that would be kinda cool.
It’s not far off from people who own jukeboxes
Burning all the DVDs would be a pain in the ass, but I do have most of a spindle that I haven’t touched since…2013?

Jellyfin is open source, so if you have the hardware and know .NET
C (? I’m guessing on this part), it could beEdit; I guessed wrong
