    Streaming took away my pirate days.

    It was easier to just pay the 30 bucks a month or whatever than to spend the 8-10 hours a month triaging and downloading.

    This was 10 years ago that I turned off my plex server… and I’m looking to scrape her hull and refloat her

      Look into Jellyfin instead of Plex if you’re stepping back into it. Plex took VC money and is absolutely enshittifing.

      Jellyfin is a wholly FOSS alternative with near complete feature parity that costs nothing and is only getting better, not worse.

        I have the lifetime pass for plex so I’d likely still use that since it gets the job done for streaming my local content AND has a solid appletv app
