Jellyfin and the .arr suite.
It’s absolutely incredible and I am so greatful to anyone with the skillset and dedication to develop and maintain things like these.
Currently playing with Proxmox and HomeAssistant too.
Hat of to all of you legends involved in FOSS
Same. I'm still primarily a Plex user for the player (it's just easier for sharing libraries with everyone) but I love the arr stuff. Just got readarr setup for audio books and audiobookshelf for the player which is really nice.
Probably my favorite feature of the arr suite is in Radarr and list subscribing. I've got mine connected to some good letterboxd lists along with things like tmdb popular to keep my library up to date with recent stuff. Also there's some podcasts I listen to like The Rewatchables. I just subscribe to the lists of movies on letterboxd and I can easily keep up with the podcast.
Make sure you get a reputable VPN to avoid issues with any "questionably acquired" content.
Just use Usenet.
I've never been able to figure out how to use usenet. Do you have any suggestions on how to get started?
I know it's reddit but this is a good guide. https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/18q7r0f/usenet_starter_guide/
Beyond that DM me for indexer invites if you seriously go down this path. Happy to help with any technical questions as well!
I've been very happy with a couple of indexers that I have paid for. I haven't needed to really jump into the invite only world. There really is A LOT of content available easily. I'm sure more niche content might need more select access, but for me I haven't gotten there. There was one Charlie Brown I have on VHS that took forever to find a better copy of, but I did eventually get a better version.
Any suggestions? I currently have a nord subscription but it's about to run out and I'm considering moving.
Mullvad is the gold standard
Proton
Mullvad is good like the other guy said but Proton has port forwarding, which if you don't wanna be a HnR jerk you wanna do
Only some countries need VPNs. If your country doesn't care about piracy (e.g. Italy, Spain or Eastern Europe) just don't bother paying for a VPN.
