This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Exactly this and more.

I'm not even pirating because it's cheaper, or easier. I have near 100TB in storage, and it takes hours per week to search material, have it downloaded, checked, etc. I just am done with the marketing, the branding, the advertising, the bullshit rules. I just want to watch what I want to watch and media companies made this impossible so I'm forced to sail the high seas

Why not just... Automate that with an Arr stack? And use Jellyseer to find new and popular movies and shows.

Wow that's a lot.

How do you not think too much about hard drive failures 😅

Serious question though, how much do you spend on drives, they're getting cheaper but it's still around like 25€/TB where I live?

He spends about 2500€

I know when you can get petabytes, why stop at 100TB.

Build your own Netflix gets expensive after a while.

I found I watched a lot more once I installed Jellyfin rather than faffing around with files and folders whenever I wanted to watch anything.

Because that's like 20,000 movies and I need two new movies to watch every night until the day I die, thanks.
