A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've been putting off having a local copy of the series and movies I watch because I still can access them quickly and cheaply enough in some streaming service, I think it's time to plan ramping up my selfhosted setup.

Plexshares are soon going to be the only thing people will need as less money and value without bs politics and taking customers for granted and as fools....

If you use a "public" Plex share (one that you find online and pay a monthly fee for), Plex will eventually find you and suspend your account.

A safer approach with Plex is to get a cheap server (assuming you can direct play on most client systems), get an unlimited Dropbox team account for storage, use rclone to mount Dropbox on the server, and auto-download via Usenet using Radarr, Sonarr and Lidarr. Split the cost across a bunch of friends.

Or just use Weyd or Syncler plus a Real Debrid account. Real Debrid caches torrents so they're instantly available to stream at full speed over an encrypted (TLS) connection.

real debrid might be a good option
