    1. Mostly Lemmy/Reddit/social circle recommendations

    2. Download

    3. I used to download directly to my phone and watch there. Then I got a NAS and started copying from my phone to the NAS. Then I set up download software on the NAS to have it always on. Then got Plex set up. Then the Arr's (although these are janky and I end up doing a lot of manual additions).

    4. Plex

    I would highly suggest getting a NAS and playing around with it. Self hosting is complicated, but I got it as a "dumb" network drive on my LAN. Then slowly I started adding on different Docker containers and added to it. Each setup was a painful learning process of errors and troubleshooting, so don't try to do everything in one go.

    You don't even need to be a pirate for self hosting. You can buy dirt cheap physical media on eBay and rip it to make a pretty huge personal library on the cheap.











  • I find it difficult to keep track of instances since I always browse "all". The hivemind works as expected (if mass downvoted unpopular opinions can be called censorship). I've had a comment with the mere mention of China in a somewhat negative way, deleted pretty quickly (but don't know if it was in this instance). Haven't noticed much else.

    Responding to something printed by The Mirror? The Onion does more reliable reporting than these guys. If people are looking for outrageous stories to comment on then the UK has plenty of publications that shouldn't even be used as toilet paper.
