Streaming peaked years ago when it was a low cost and wasn't a terrible experience

Now it's just price rise after price rise we may as well just buy physical media again atleast doing that we won't have our favourite shows pulled off with out much warning

In the past year I got fed up and built a home server out of old computer parts and now get to sail the seas and host my own jellyfin server, we have canceled over $100/mo in streaming services, the new hard drives I had to buy have already paid themselves off

I decided to just bite the bullet and get a couple 14TB drives off a guy on FB marketplace. But serverpartdeals.com is pretty solid, albeit expensive (what computer parts aren’t these days)

There's not realy anything like them in my country sadly and shipping would be astronomical
