Same. With a dockerized *arr stack and NZB360 I don’t have to worry about where something is streaming, what platform currently nas the license, what login I need, blah blah. Just search, add, it’s ready to watch jellyfin->kodi rpi->tv. No streaming tracking for recommendation algorithms or to sell info to data brokers.

On one hand, I also don’t have to worry about finding the disc, or getting it at a store (if they have it). There is an experience to that kind of search that is lost, but damn the convenience of this setup is nice.

I would pay a decent amount of money—even the $150-250 cable TV used to cost for that hosted by someone else. Though, only if it was ad-free and tracking free.

I realize that’s not how capitalism works, and can never without he internet as it currently is set up.

Reminds me of a fun thriller by Dr. Chuck Tingle

Had some fun takes on the idea of “AI” acting
