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.

    Yeah I see you harping about having to download your own material, but that is the reality of self hosting, acquiring content. And the joy of not having an algorithm recommending things. It’s not for everyone. If someone’s not capable of such things, that’s fine, then this convo isn’t for them and they should just keep using netflix.

      But that’s the point I’m making. It’s absolutely fine that it’s not as simple as using a ready-made service. And we shouldn’t behave like it is, because that’s just not true.

        Nobody said it was. My reply was specifically to the OP, who said their plan was “ramping up my selfhosted setup.” They’ve already got experience and are on the path, so my comment was appropriate in that sense. Try to read things in context. Nobody suggested everyone’s boomer parents should jump on the bandwagon here.
