Hi there! This is a video that I made that I'm hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don't claim to be an expert at all so I'd also love some feedback. Thanks!

I have my own server and it's great, but the real product these streaming services sell isn't access to content—it's discoverability and recommendations. We need a better solution for that!

Tbh, I pretty much never use site recommendations. I almost always learn of shows and movies via social media and memes
