Quality and ease. Torrents don't always have enough seeders or they disconnect. You can get by on them, but it's a case of getting what you pay for. I go through a lot of media as do my friends using my server. The cost is negligible and basically means I have no headaches.

Find a spare/cheap computer. Install home assistant/unraid/TrueNAS (bunch of platforms that run docker and have app installers but any of those three are pretty easy to get running). Pay for access to a Usenet backbone provider and one or two Usenet search providers. Black Friday will have some sales on yearly subscriptions. Install Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseer, and Bazaar (if you're huge into subtitles like me). Alternatively, also install and setup Prowlarr. Get your Usenet stuff working in Prowlarr. Point Radarr and Sonarr at Prowlarr. Point Jellyseer at Sonarr and Radarr. Share with friends. I will personally handhold anyone who wants to do this for themselves.
He helped me so much. I learned an absolute ton because he gave me an easy and safe path to explore. RIP.
Part of the new Apple power bottom design strategy.
Depending on the size of your mom and pop, I think it would do much of it. At least keep things organized to do a demo of QuickBooks or give to an accountant.
Yeah I started using Actual about a week ago. Setup SimpleFin in a few seconds within a couple of minutes actual was auto populated. I ran into a syncing snag and messaged Simple Fin support. They worked with my credit union and I was all good in a couple of hours. Been running smoothly ever since. I really like it. And I don't have the guilt of not budgeting anymore. Plus, ynab tutorials and advice are basically Actual tutorials.
I love this idea of billionaires making bunkers. Pretty sure I can afford the quikrete and wheelbarrows needed to make this a better world.
Money isn't necessarily a factor. I've paid for many services that have made business or operating changes to the point of needing to separate and then there's WinZip on the other side of things.
On the internet, no one knows you're a dog. Except for Meta, Alphabet, Russia, China, Israel, the NSA and your ISP. But no one else knows
Sorry, I didn't mean to leave out the bestiality porn creation as well. That was unintentional on my part.
Maybe AI can help us break the fusion hurdles. Oh. It's still telling people to eat rocks, just used to create waifu porn and as a mass spy application? Nothing else, really? Well shit.
If you happen to go the Unraid route (Unraid is fantastic, but not free) Spaceinvader One on YouTube has great tutorials. That's where I got most of my info initially. It's definitely worth it and I think a good deal easier. I am not good with code and really like having a visual interface and it helps with that. I am not a master at any of this but I've learned a lot and I'm pretty comfortable now. To do a YouTube series myself, I feel like I'd need to know more. But there are definitely resources out there to get you going. If you follow some of this and run into problems, feel free to reach out to me. Or the selfhosted community here has been amazing. But you might start with one of the aforementioned frameworks. I think it's easier than going straight to docker. Docker isn't difficult, but managing IPs and networks and ports can cause some frustration and confusion.
This guy has a pretty good install on home assistant operating system (HAOS is important. Not just home assistant, but HAOS). When you have HAOS up and running, you can add the repository that Alex Belgium has created. He's done a great job at getting so many docker containers ready to go in home assistant. Huge, huge props to the guy. And once you have the repository, you can start to install the individual containers and it's not terrible. I think Spaceinvader One's videos can get you through much of it. Just skip the installation part and go to setup.
It's a lot and I can't go step by step but I will answer and help in someone's journey as best as I'm able to.
