I've just finished my setup with Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin, qBittorrent and nzb360. I've paid 120€ for proton vpn for 2 years, 200€ for m2 ssd for 4tb and a few bucks for domain to access my setup from anywhere. Also, I have a 1gb internet connection for 65€ pm...

So, I'm willing to pay... I don't want to spend all this time configuring scripts and integrations(though it was fun 😁)... But paying for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Disney+ and not being able to watch everything I want, simply makes me angry and miserable.

Duck them all. Arrrrr

Even France is there

It is not even a joke. Every time we cross the border between the Netherlands and Belgium in a car, we laugh about how distinct it is.

I always give some bs emails in those authentication forms. Mainly because as a client who tries to connect, I do not have internet access, so I cannot verify my email before they give me the access. And when they gave me access, there is no power in the world to make me do that 🤷

I bought their subscription just to watch it... A month after they decided to remove it. It was the main reason for me to set up my home media server with torrent. They've got what they wanted, I pay pirates instead of then

BoJack, is it you?

Debian was the reason, why I've started distro hopping, in the first place

I've never had better experience with Linux than on ThinkPad. It made me love distro hoping again.

Because I'm forced to use a Mac at work. So to avoid their terrible UI, I use the terminal for most of the things. Then switching back to Linux is relatively easy.

Also it is faster in most cases and it's keyboard-first.

Monk Dad 😐

Are you living in the US by any chance?

Oh man, you have some serious AI here!

Google is keeping their services free for long enough, so people start believing it's supposed to be like that. At the same moment they keep paying for their music streaming, cloud storage and the rest...

And dundies!

From your list, I would go with Debian. Fedora is amazing but doesn't have LTS, so you'll need to update it manually quite often. You can use a script for automatic updates, but I rarely had it working smoothly. Ubuntu is just a joke with repository hell. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but grandma or a child for the desktop, because of its simplicity. TrueNAS never tried...🤷

I would also look into Alpine and some Arch-based distros.

And yes, use containers, this will save you time eventually.

The only real requirement you have for the Jellyfin server is ffmpeg... But this thing runs everywhere

This is really good, do you know if I can plug my 4tb m2 ssd in there? If yes, I'm moving tomorrow😁

I came here to write this.

I can only add that with years I started doing the same stupid things with no regrets.

Looking back, it would be hard to explain to the younger me, that there are no adults, but just ugly kinds.

Is it done SaaS or do you have your private setup? Also what about the speed? I stream 20gb files over wi-fi and can experience issues with stream lag time to time

Good to know. For me torrenting is the only case

I see a lot of people recommend it. Is it really good? I've made my setup with proton but I'm not really happy with connection speed and seeding.
