Not Paying for Streaming or Cloud Services & Having Your Own Media Server or NAS

If you are technical enough to tinker around, highly suggest getting a NAS and some storage grade HDDs to create your own media/personal cloud server. Stop paying for someone else's cloud. Stop paying for streaming services. Would highly recommend Jellyfin now over Plex now that Plex has raised their lifetime upgrade to an eye-watering $250.

Home server setup:
1. Windows Server NAS with 96TB in RAID 1. Running Plex Media Server. Networked to LAN breakout switch. Plex client running on Apple TV
2. 4K Blu Ray player with cracked firmware to rip disk-based content and a copy of MakeMKV software.
3. Thousands of Blu Rays and lots of time and patience.
4. WinSCP or other SFTP software.
5. (Optional) Seedbox and some private tracker service to make up anything you're missing. ;)
