Save $20/mo on Netflix by buying a $5000 NAS that needs replacement drives for the rest of its life :wisp_cowboy:

Who said it will be cheaper?
WispBay when 👀???
The High Seas Of Nostr are Calling.
I REALLY hate ads. Also, I'm bouncing around break even over time.
Me too 😄
My nas was put together slowly with proof of work, piece by piece. It is worth the sovereignty. It came with an invaluable education.
Or just watch once and delete. How many films do you watch more than maybe even 3x? Empire Strikes Back, Field of Dreams, and The Matrix are probably my most rewatched. It takes 10mins to download. No biggie.
flixer was fun for a minute.
Yo solidstate called, they want you to acknowledge their existence. Minimal writes, tons of reads means your NAS will last longer than the rest of the server.
Why not an x86? Faster, beefier, more VMs, easier expansion, better support, extendable
And this is why I use IPTV
WispBay 👀???

Cant you just stream torrents now a days?
I mean, you could just do what I do, leech on on your phone to watch on MPV in bed and keep a collection on a 2TB SSD. Way cheaper and less maintenance overhead than keeping a seedbox and media server.
(I dont actually leech, I seed minimum 1:1 before I remove a torrent).
But that doesn't feed my crippling hardware addiction
Crippling indeed lol. I used to do all that stuff, and I changed my living situation such that I couldn't do it for a while, only to discover that I felt light as a feather. No more.
There's a whole experience around friends coming over, "I want to watch a movie", going through your DVD collection, re-watching Big Trouble in Little China, putting Office Space on for the kiddo, all that that mandates saving an entire drive full of movies you'll never watch. The experience is interrupted with "but we can watch something new", "which streaming service is it on", "that one is 1.99 on Amazon pick something else", the movie being gone never to return, latency, and being recommended pozzed garbage.
Also plenty of people want to make sure someone out there has a copy of something. Seeding is about maintaining availability
me and buddy are on this right now, tv and movies workflow is peachy with automated requests to find torrents.
hes working on music now.
finamp for android to connect to his jellyfin server. that houses it all.
Wait till you discover stremio
average consumer spends 70 a month on streaming services.
a year thats
840 dollars a year.
ill ask my buddy all his upfront costs etc, since i havent really worried about that since hes the genius and not me

As long as storage prices come down at some point it's probably about break even
Smart
good thing im a hoarder
I wish WebTorrent would have taken off
Do you just re-download things all the time? I'm only on 28tb of storage and with redundancy that would make my server completely unaffordable.
Me or UTXO? I probably write to 80% capacity approximately 20 times? Mostly reading from disk not writing. I don't know what kind of media libraries people keep but I just have a library and don't change it almost ever.
😅 next up private inference and you realize your desire to be sovereign has left you dead ass broke.
Cries in rtx
Nice psu jumper
Nice noticing, this guy fucks
Just 2 psus?
I’d figure a setup like that I’d would be like 3-4…
You. I meant that 28tb plus redundancy of solid state would be quite pricy, well outside WAF. I do agree that I write way more often.
I do a lot more compression or have far fewer media files than yourself so it could just possibly be differences in needs.
20TB with RAID 3 seemed reasonably priced to me.
I could fit in 20tb available space. Buying 20tb available size raid 3 of solid state is another matter.
RAID Z3..? Don’t think anyone supports 3
I must have had a concussion when I wrote that. RAID 5, 3/1 parity.
*RAID 5. 3 with 1 parity.
I've never seen solid state drives that weren't on the factor of 2 sizes. How did you end up at 20tb?
They are? 3 disks 3x 10TB one is the parity drive. I feel like text is one of my most confusing communication styles.
It's a 3 disk set up (probably how I said RAID 3 earlier). 3/ one of which is parity, maybe I should have said it that way.
