    I thought Jellyfin was just a self-hosted client/server for the media you already possess..? Are you just being tongue-in-cheek and I'm whooshing a ref to #SailingTheHighSeas, or am I missing something about Jellyfin?

    Just to be clear, you can (and many do) use jellyfin to just access the stuff you own. It's a convenient way to always have all your DVD/br available. And music library. And eBooks.

    High seas need not be involved.

    I need to setup a Jellyfin for my media. Is it easy to stream it across the Internet, I'm worried about opening myself up to hackers or something.

    As long as you use something like fail2ban you should be okay. If you really want to go hard there are things like authentik or even vlans to keep your important stuff separate from exposed services.

    I've been using a jellyfin server with SWAG on an unraid server for years with a few friends with 0 issues.

    I don't open mine up to the internet. Instead I set up a wireguard vpn, and any time my devices are not on my home network they autoconnect to wireguard, and then have access to jellyfin and other services I host internally.

    This generally works well unless I want to share my jellyfin with a friend or try to airplay to a TV outside of my network.

    It was the dawn of the third age of piratekind – ten years after the Napster-Limewire War. 

    The Pirate Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and nerds can download their media peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for seeders, leechers, entrepreneurs, and youtubers. 

    Humans and nerds, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand terabytes of spinning metal…all alone in the night. 

    It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for streaming. 

    This is the story of the last of the Piracy stations. The year is 2026. The name of the place is Babylon 5’s youtube channel.

    I need to find a new copy of the DVD collection.

    The blu-ray has soured me. Especially after vastly superior releases like TNG, and notably Blake's 7, which do not feature wildly shifting colour tones and chopped off shoulders/arms.

    I'll take lesser quality if it means a consistent product. DVDs all the way this time.

    There are reasons why a 1tb flash drive and yt-dlp should be in everyone’s toolbox

    That's unfortunately a much more expensive proposition than it was even just six months ago.

    Not really. You can get 512GB of PNY for $38 that hasn’t changed much at all from last year

    1. Not the size in question.
    2. The price for that size should have come down even more by now.

    1. 512gb + 512gb is 1Tb of storage (the exact storage amount one needs is always personal and has different costs and capabilities)

    2. why? Storage costs have been dragging since 2008 when 320GB of storage was available for $79.99. Due to governments buying up most of the stock for surveillance purposes.
