This thing with subscriptions has become insane. You can easily spend several hundred a month getting roped into all the subscriptions companies are pushing. It's the latest way to squeeze as much money as possible out of the consumer.

I've gone into subscription boycott at this point. I had too many and said screw that. I still have Amazon Prime where I think I get my money's worth. I shop there a lot and use their streaming so it's worth it to me. Subscriptions for appliances? No way in hell.

Yep. I built a fully automated piracy machine that I can stream straight to any device with no hassle. Fuck subscriptions.

Can you expand a bit on how you did that? Sounds enticing and I do have a virtual server and a RasPi to play around with.

Sonarr, radarr, qbittorrent and jellyfin are what I use.

@UntouchedWagons

@superkret

Should also look I to ombi, it can tie into your jellyfish server to see what you already have, and you can have it send requests to sonarr if you find something new.

(Also has user management so family / friends can see what you got or submit requests)
