Go with docker images and save your setup files/commands, so you can always redeploy on a NAS/new server later. Go with lscr.io/linuxserver images.

It probably took me a good 20 hours to setup. Then dozens more hours to get my existing library imported, but that’s just part of the process.

Initially it is time intensive, but it’s totally worth it. Make sure you make proper backups, so you don’t lose your work.

Some people just want lossless media.

And saying it’s a huge cost… 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That’s really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.

Given that a movie can be between 1GB and 50GB depending on source and compression used, you can’t know that. You can find game of thrones downloads that are 30GB per episode. At 1080. If you go for high quality with a nzb setup, it fills up really fast.

Also my setup is used by multiple people and that’s probably fairly common. So maybe “I” can’t watch that much, but “we” can.

Probably just Rossman being paranoid, I assume.

There’s an unwritten deal, you know. Youtube lets us block and in return, we allow Youtube to know we block. Because if we take that away from Youtube, Youtube no longer has reliable viewer statistics and the price of their ads will go down.

Now it seems Youtube wants to break the deal (and they can, unless we start pirating Youtube content, they can at the very least make us sit through a minute of black screen before each video). They probably think the damage that will be done is less than the additional income that the subscriptions generate.

it’s just the same old story. Grow, grow, grow, wait until you’ve got a monopoly, now squeeeeeeeeze the profit.
