I have one dock at home, one dock at work. The docks stay connected to the peripherals and I just have to plug in one cable into the laptop to connect everything. I much prefere that over having to plug in 3-4 different cables in the past.

It is very funny, but also kind of sad. It’s just stupid elitism over what … the way you host your personal, probably pirated, media? I don’t understand why people take it so seriously. It’s such a 1st world problem.

I feel you. I have close to 30 friends on plex, but only like 5 people use it regularly, another 4 sporadically … and most others either have never watched anything or just like seconds (probably just testing if it worked).

It’s not the easiest platform to adopt, especially if you just have an account to connect to a friends library and don’t know how to do the inital setup (hiding all the free crap). Most of my regular viewers are family members … and I setup their homescreen for them.

When you want to download a show only to realise you already have it :(

I understood your comment to mean “piracy is saving you $400 a week”, so before piracy you spend $400 a week on media, which sounds like an insane amount.

Selection is probably better though

You mean at Netflix? Maybe, but only temporarily. If I’m missing a piece of media I want I’ll simply download it and add it to my server. And contrary to Netflix once it’s on my server it’ll stay there.

Yep, roughly $400 a week.

Huh? How? Were you subscribed to every single streaming service that existed?

Yeah, I’m going for a bit more storage, currently sitting at 108TB. The price of my home server could pay for around 75 years of Netflix.

You guys are saving money?

Russia is at war. Germany is not.
