As the title states I am wondering what would be a good machine to build for my piracy. I am open to buying a used machine on eBay and expanding over time.
The last time I was sailing I had a Dell R610 Server Rack but I don’t have the space for this now. So something that can sit behind a tv stand in the corner next to the router.
- I would be running Plex / Jellyfin
- Some kind of torrent software
- Something for NZBs if still viable
- then the usual SONARR, RADARR, etc
I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.
Thanks.
I have been using Plex for five years and I have not spent a dollar. How long have you been using it?
Pretty shitty behavior on your part with that link. Thanks for the patronizing nonsense.
But don’t take my word for it.
Edit: ah Free not free price. Mea culpa
They mean free as in freedom, not free as in beer
Free software generally refers to open source software, who’s code you can view and edit yourself
When we talk about FOSS, we talk about Free, Open Source Software. Plex is free but not open source, and it’s free price is not enshrined in it’s license as with other FOSS software, which means that there could be a rug pull at any time. But I think that’s unlikely due to its business model.
Jellyfin is FOSS software meaning it will stay free and open source due to its license.
