I lied, there's no Netflix.
Instead I have a local Jellyfin server with twenty terabytes of pirated media.

At that age they are obsolete for 24/7 operation anyways, the electricity savings of getting a denser drive outweigh the upfront cost of the replacement
At least with German electricity prices đ

I don't remember when I set this instance up, but it's been a few years, yeah. Maybe 3 or 4. I had another torrent client before, but those stats were lost when I switched from windows to linux. I also have another instance of qbittorrent with a few TiB of upload, but that's mostly used for hoarding wikis.
Lyra_Lycan 27 points 7 months ago
Right? I can feel bad about not offering my family the same quantity as the mainstream services, then I remember that while I don't have 40,000 films I do have 5,000 handpicked by me, so no trawling. Also, I'll never make my friends feel dependent on me as I make their home theatre experience better for free

I have jellyfin for group viewing and sharing, but it's actually just a bunch of symlinks to an NFS share, which is also exposed as a fileserver (caddy with basic auth)
So I can stream via jelly clients, or remotely stream/download files directly, or read straight off my local NAS.
wabasso 5 points 7 months ago
Iâm interested in using VLC more for home viewing. Right now itâs my only option for playing my imaged DVDs on the fire stick. The interface is decent but Iâm wondering if you know of a more normie friendly way to select titles, other than browsing a network share.
Emi 7 points 7 months ago
If they want a specific movie you could just add it. That's how I do it, whenever we remember some movie or find something new I just add it. No need to have everything just what you actually want and if it's good I'll keep it there instead of deleting it when cleaning up from time to time.
Lyra_Lycan 2 points 7 months ago
Yes! I have recently set up a Jellyseerr (Overseerr fork) service which really helps, as they can browse from a load of categories and I get their requests on my account and get it to download to the right directory.
Krauerking 2 points 7 months ago
So I have found that I use a folder everything new goes into and then if it's worth keeping or I finally get the whole season it gets moved and properly organized into a permanent folder. Its been really good for keeping the stuff that isn't worth it quarantined to be deleted.
Some shows and movies aren't worth the hard drive space.

Krauerking 9 points 7 months ago
Ok first of all you people have too much money to spend on hard drives.
Secondly, it's not curated if you are downloading everything ever.
I've got 8tb full of a 12tb raid array and that already feels like enough for a lifetime.
AdrianTheFrog 9 points 7 months ago
get 2 for redundancy and better read speeds, that's ~$670 and some space to spare (they're 26 tb each)
https://serverpartdeals.com/...
storage isn't that expensive nowadays, and density is still going up. Seagate is expecting to be able to make 80 TB drives in the early 2030s
Krauerking 5 points 7 months ago
Yeah do you guys not see that recommending $700 dollars just for hard drives might be my point about having to much money? That's a huge jump up from an external drive and a torrent client.
That cost is 6 years of streaming services.
At this point the hoarding is just the hobby instead of the media.
AdrianTheFrog 1 point 7 months ago
I don't do this, I just don't think it's particularly unreasonable to have that much storage. It's less than what apple will charge you for a 2tb ssd
Krauerking 2 points 7 months ago
less than what apple will charge you for a 2tb ssd
Well that's like saying going to 7/11 is cheaper than going to the moon. Apple charges multiple hundreds of dollars for a watch band, and $80 for a holder for their pen.
If you just want to be able to watch stuff and have some in storage to watch later less will do you than getting half a rent payment payment in hard drives.
rumschlumpel 4 points 7 months ago
Damn, I really need to up my harddrive game. My biggest drive is 4TB.
Krauerking 1 point 7 months ago
I literally just had 2 4TB external hard drives that had more than enough movies and TV shows with anyone I would trade with.
I don't think we all need every show ever.
rumschlumpel 1 point 7 months ago
I'm a bit of a data hoarder, a lot of content from YouTube or public broadcasters is worth saving, or is just a big favourite of mine. I've already been deleting more files than I like to.
a_jeering_serpent 1 point 7 months ago
I have a bunch of Fanxiang 4TB drives, eg S880. I didn't set out to have so many but crucial, Samsung, etc all failed way too often in early life.
I bought a few on a lark and stocked up on those and pine 64 stuff to do a 36 node ceph cluster (if you figured i got the idea from Jeff Geerling you get a gold star!)
Last year my heat went out during below freezing temperatures and I lost three Toshiba drives, out of three total.
Cluster is almost 2 years old and I degoogled with it. I have an additional rack of raspis and orangepis that run my k3s cluster, Jellyfin runs on that along with some additional infrastructarr.
The k3s nodes run off of virtual iscsi images served by ceph, rgw gateway for s3 compatible api, and the only public exposure requires access to my zerotier network. My home router runs it, then my phone and laptop and that's all within the zerotier free plan.
The Fanxiangs have exceeded my expectations and they are competitively priced. Watch their eBay store for the occasional bulk discount deal. Give one a try, I run my laptop and desktop on them now as well.
duckythescientist 2 points 7 months ago
A single movie is 50-80GB for a high quality rip. I'm at around 9TB and have seen most things in my collection, and that's maybe 6 years of light-ish use. I'm planning another 60+TB this Black Friday.
Krauerking 2 points 7 months ago
So firstly, some fun trivia. Did you know that 720p is still considered HD? High quality rip is very subjective. Secondly I have 4k movies at like 16-20GB you are going like fully uncompressed.
But congrats I guess on the upgrade
dreugeworst 2 points 7 months ago
here I am storing my movies in well compressed 1080p av1 and considering it an upgrade over streaming. to think there are people using 80GB per movie. I suppose if you have a great screen and eyesight it might be worth it, but for me I don't think I'd really notice the difference even if I bought a better tv
Krauerking 1 point 7 months ago
Can.
I have all of top gear for like 200GB. It doesn't have to. We don't have to Overfill extra large shows.
dreugeworst 3 points 7 months ago
i believe you, you can't even afford letters, let alone netflix

Sorry I have to go. I'm not physically attracted to animals. Also it smells in here. No... No I know, I also self-host. Apache. Mhmm. Oh see, that's why I don't open any ports, I just use tailscale but it's limited it to three users. Nah, anyway look I gotta go sorry. Later.

Fenrisulfir 2 points 7 months ago
I just saw 30TB exos drives are out. Thinking these will be my next batch of 4 to triple my usable capacity
Fenrisulfir 1 point 7 months ago
Iâm currently sitting at 4x6 and 4x12. Iâve been eyeing 4x24 to keep the doubling going but those prices have only gone up in the 6 years since I got the 4x12 drives. These 30s are the only time I e seen the $/GB drop

It's strange seeing Eric Schwartz' art style out in the wild. I can't remember ever seeing anything of his pop up after the mid 2000s so I figured he just gave up on art or faded into obscurity or something.
edit: I guess there's just an uncanny resemblance of this one character to his style. I looked up the artist and saw it's pretty varied. Neat. Also there's a follow up image where they can't decide what to watch so they just fuck instead.

Instead of paying to enrich the digital feudal lords, you can also show respect by using that money to build a shrine in your house and start worship the creator and/or artists of the things you love.
nanoswarm9k 8 points 7 months ago
Download metalica and friends. Throw cash money at local theatre, film, and music.
buy merch from the in-between.

I've bought a few blurays even though I don't own a player. I want to pay for high quality media, but the streaming sites won't give me high quality. I pirate what I want then buy what I really enjoy.
Angelevo 3 points 7 months ago
Great strategy! I can absolutely recommend saving up for a good player and audiovisual setup to view them on. Bluray quality is far above what can be streamed, all the details available.
I do not own such a setup myself at this time, have experienced a good home theater. Worth it!

i would do that but they killed the ability to buy dvd sets
