    Oh no! Whatever will I do?

    Continue not subscribing I guess, Netflix can take their price hikes and blow them out of their collective ass.

      They hit my mom’s account with the wrong household bullshit when my little cousin who lives down the street tried watching a show. Thankfully I get it free with my phone plan and never use it, so I just gave her my account.

      I’m stupidly close to buying an 18 TB HDD from Amazon, setting up Overseerr on my home server on top of the *arr/Plex stack I run, and giving everyone a login. I have gigabit so it’s not like I can’t support even Blu-ray playback. I figure if I set the torrent to delete after 2 weeks of not watching we’ll never run out of space.

          Never heard that acronym. Is it torrent client, Radarr, Sonarr, and Homarr? I’ve been running that for a bit now, and it keeps pulling me ever closer to buying a small server rack.
