Requires slightly more hardware than a pi, but once you get to the double digit terabytes range of storage, you can honestly have a better plex/jellyfin library than Netflix in any one particular country (except maybe the US? I think US netflix has all the good shows and movies that we’re missing here in Europe).
Netflix might have more volume, but there’s a lot of low quality shit nobody wants to watch, whereas you can just throw literally every blockbuster ever made on just a couple of terabytes at lower quality levels.
I have an always-on vpn container and a transmission server container on my home server. Then I use transmission as a client on my laptop and I don’t need to continually connect and disconnect.
Any interest in a how-to guide? I won’t get to it for at least two weeks, mind.
Even without the volume you can have a “better” library, especially when platforms like Netflix sometimes cut out episodes or scenes from shows. Community, for example, is missing a bunch of scenes on Netflix that can mess up the story a bit.
That’s also true. But it’s the selection where you can really win with volume. Apple has great shows but there’s not a lot. Netflix has some good movies, but not too many. But you can have them all.

Don’t need it personally, but someone else might, so definitely post it when you feel like doing some writing.
Yes!!!
