The only downside is it can make web browsing and shopping a bit of a pain. But that’s my own fault for not taking 10 minutes to figure out how to set up split tunneling or just hosting qBittorrent on my media server…

Advice: Look up Gluetun and dockerize your torrent/vpn setup. Makes things real simple (including moving where it is hosted, should you choose to)

...What are you talking about?

If you want to take on archiving a huge library of media, more power to you. But that isn't a requirement. Many people use streaming downloads so that local storage is basically not required. Others download and set up services/plugins to delete episodes after they have been watched to ease storage requirements. Even if you want to keep all media, Raid is certainly a luxury, not necessity. Losing all of the media from a drive just means needing to download it all again.

And all of this is completely out of the argument of "feature parity" with Netflix. They drop shows and movies from their services all the time.

Ah yeah, fair enough.

@piotrkulpinski@lemmy.world you might want to look into disabling error reporting in production 👍

There's a submission link on the top of the page

Search seems broken. The following gives me a "Something went wrong" page

While I don't disagree with your sentiment, it seems like this list is just "self hosted open source alternatives". Even if there are better options, Gitea still falls under that definition, no?

Not at all! Using the one provided by LinuxServer.io, found here

Nope! My deluge server is hosted in a docker network with gluetun, and I access it from both thin clients and the web interface.

I'm a much bigger fan of the deluge thin client, personally.

STOP I can't afford to know this stuff exists right now!

I have also come across Windscribe, which seems reasonably well respected. Sadly, they make you pay extra for a static IP and port forwarding.

AirVPN has a lot of people complaining about connection speed.

Options are drying up 😢
