Which could be rapidly eclipsed, my synology nas is capable of following RSS feeds for new content, torrenting that content, and serving that content through my plex with audio options, subtitles, descriptions, cover art, ratings, age restrictions etc. (All behind a vpn of course) If I invested a weekend (4 days, maybe 2-3 weekends...) I could probably figure it out, and never ever ever again deal with the BS streaming services. It takes one person pissed off that they missed Ozark and that will be 1 click install, game on, open source tech only ever moves forward, its antifragile, unlike any individual business.

You need to invest about 10 minutes. It’s not complicated at all and makes a much better experience.

  Setting it up properly probably takes a day or so. Which HDDs should you put in the synology (or are there SSDs that make more sense; need to check $/GB…)? Which VPN service makes the most sense? Which RSS thingy is as good as Prime, Netflix, HBO, etc, etc, combined?

    Good point. I assumed the synology was already set up as a NAS. That takes a while. Setting up the rss is just minutes.

    Only if you over-optimize and get decision paralysis. Perfect is the enemy of the good. Cheapest is the enemy of actually-have-it-and-working.

  Are there good step-by-step guides? I am on the fence but researching this seems exhausting so far.

    There’s a whole ream of linuxserver docker images in the sonarr family that you can run on one machine. I’m sure someone made a docker-compose somewhere.
