• 1. I follow some release groups and just download stuff they release, other than that it’s either requests from friends or random finds.
• 2. Download (Torrent or yt-dlp for some niche stuff)
• 3. NAS in my living room.

• 4&5. Plex.

Why would OP want to downgrade?

MeGusta is still going strong. But they mostly do single episodes, very few packs.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

That is NOT the spirit!

I usually expand when I reach 80% capacity.

And why was it only after you realized your Golden Girls directory ballooned past 200GB?

Did you find the show in 1080p somewhere? But yeah, I only have 480p and it still takes 70GB.

Let’s not talk about the 1.1TB Simpsons folder …

Why even bother? It’s legal to pirate movies and tv shows for personal use in Switzerland!

If the customer wanted to use the self checkout they’d be going to the self checkout …

I don’t get it. Why would you ask a customer if they want to use the self checkout lane?

None of that really applies to a a private, locally run server. Don’t share your plex server with strangers and you’re fine.

You can’t comply with a request for something you’re not logging.

The highest USB power delivery standard currently uses 5A at 48V for 240W.

After I had two WD drives fail in my old NAS so I switched to all Seagate on my next build. Currently running 9x 20TB Exos X20, though for only about a year now, so no issues should be expected, yet.

I think the most important thing is that you pick a drive that is meant for NAS/server use (so rated for running 24/7). And having manufacturere warrenty is also nice. My Seagate drives have 60 months (which is considerably more then the 36 months that my WD drives had).

Don’t talk to me or my son ever again.

In Switzerland people eat pasta with meatsauce, applesauce and Gruyère cheese. I wish I could forget.

A year and a half ago I could have named a bunch, used them for over a decade (but of course domains would frequently change). But since switching to my own plex server + torrent, I’ve never looked back. It gives you all the meta data, trailers, rating and recommendations which you’d expect from paid streaming services, even features like skip intro/credits and keeping track of your progress (even mid episode).

I know, it’s not what you’re asking for, but someone had to bring it up.

A solution to a self inflicted problem.

No USB cable has “gigabit speed”. It probably has 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 standard).

Maybe he meant a 5 Gbps Gen1 cable. That would be “gigabit speed” but still rather slow by today’s standards and won’t support DP. They are pretty cheap these days, so wouldn’t be suprising to see left over stocks being sold as charging cables.

That sounds like a dedicated charging cable. So yeah, they will (if at all) only transfer data slowly and not support any extras features like displayport.
