It has to be 20 years since I just went full pirate. Maybe 25.

Ngl I kinda miss cable, just for the aspect of being able to choose content based on channel and just let it go

There's a way to replicate it in Plex/Jellyfin by basically building out your own "channels" and having it draw from your own content files, but that's a project in of itself that is on my ever growing project list lmao

There was some sort of Jellyfin/Plex ersatz "TV channel" thing that Chris Fisher on Linux Unplugged was talking about. Can't remember what the name was.
