I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

    Yep. 100% agree. I have a 175TB server. Sure it was expensive to set up initially, but I have all shows and movies I want, always. From all the different services I would have to subscribe to, I imagine I have recovered my initial outlay and I never have to worry about media being removed from the service or it going out of business.

    I have things that aren’t even available if I wanted to subscribe. Best thing you can do for yourself.

    No commercials, always high quality. Available anywhere, at any time.

          It just takes a really long time to restore from those backups. And weirdly, they’re scattered all over the place…

            Depends on your source and connection but I managed to recover 8tb of movies in a couple weeks.

      Same here, 192tb, but sonarr, radarr, plex, and the source that shall not be named (I respect the 2 rules).

      It’s not about outlay, I can watch what I want, when I want, how I want, without anyone tracking, even wrote my own video player interface in python so the mouse buttons handle all the settings.

      Completely ruins you for normal media :/
