I’ve already made the decision to sail the high seas in 2017 and selfhost my media.
Best decision I’ve ever made.
Sonarr + radarr + jellyfin
I never stopped, but I doubled down a good 10 years ago when Netflix first announced they were gonna put an end to people getting around geolocking. I'm Canadian. I'd pay (at the time) for US Netflix 100%. Canadian Netflix wasn't worth the cost of the pot to piss in.
Spun up a Plex server, set up Sonarr, Jackett/Prowlarr, Radarr, Tautulli, and now I am Netflix for 20 people lmao.
Edit: And I'd have it no other way.
That’s the way!
I feel your pain as I had Canadian Netflix around 2015. I was bummed when I knew that the new seasons of Suits (iirc) wouldn’t be available in Canadian Netflix for a couple of months.
I had to watch it in putlockers while I was paying for a freaking streaming service.
Such a mess lol. I take pride in knowing that every movie, tv show, comedy special, album, game (up until the ps era cause i'm not made of hard drive money), comic book, novel, piece of software, basically anything I ever enjoyed over the course of my life (as well as a couple terabytes of random data hoarder shit) are sitting 2 feet away from my fingers at all times.

Does your ISP still provide Usenet access or do you subscribe to a Usenet provider?
Paying $9 a month for Usenet makes me wonder if I shouldn’t just keep paying for Hulu
I don’t think my ISP provides it.
Id suggest you to setup sonarr and radarr behind a vpn as it’s a set and forget setup.
Fully automated.
@deleted
Oh? You don’t have to setup a usenet provider to Sonaar work?
I’m out of the loop then. You have any recommendations for modern setup tutorials?
Most (if not all?) of the *arrs can use torrents. edit: as for guides, i would just check out yams.media.
What do you mean? What does isp have to do with Usenet?

@owiseedoubleyou @deleted
Usenet access used to be included by ISPs. It’s been a long time since that was standard. I’m not sure which Usenet providers are worthwhile now.
yeah. but i think most of them excluded binaries, even back then.

@owiseedoubleyou @deleted @iHUNTcriminals
No, binaries were included. That was the main way binaries were exchanged for a time.
I'm pretty sure around where i live you did not get the alt.binaries groups except if you went to a proper usenet provider and payed. the ISPs didn't want to pay for all of the storage. but this was a long time ago and i wasn't yet interested in stuff like that. maybe i misremember.
My ISP has their own usenet servers. I get access to all the good shit via it, for free.
