6$ month newsgroups access, 2$ index access a month, 200$ used tiny pc, jellybin, radarr, sonnarr, subnzbd, prowlar, Jellyseer. 4k on demand stream anything to multiple clients.

I downscaled from a 12u rack and went with a $1600 synology with $230 ram upgrade, $600 in wd red pros and a $450 Intel nuc10 with quicksync and ill still come out ahead in a few years (~30 months) compared to what it would cost to access all streaming content ad free ($95/mo for netflix, prime, dnsp+Hulu bundle, max, paramount, peacock, and appleTV by my count)

Add in sharing with a small group of friends who pitch in small amounts and the convenience of not needing to juggle 8 logins or figure out where a particular piece of content currently lives and piracy really does win.

And that's still a very capable setup. A much more modest Synology can smoothly stream 4k and run *arr app with 2/4gb of RAM.

Lol, that's a proper setup for sharing. I'm hording mine thou. 400$ of hardware includes 4tb ssd running in k8s cluster. https://ibb.co/gMj0B0R

also, this gives you waaay higher quality than streaming

I haven't had Netflix for a while and was recently shocked at just how awful the quality was. (this was with decent internet + "full HD" subscription)
