Ive been wanting to make my own home media server for a bit now along with doing some other things, but how do i do it can i use any tech device as a media server, do i buy a bunch of dvds and digitize them. what exactly are the steps that need to be taken?
I dont really have the money to spend on the things i want epecially mounthly things and ive never had a job before and i still dont becasue im trying to get thru school and such. so is there something else that i can do and stay safe while doing so>
A good VPN is five bucks a month. Certainly cheaper than any legal method of acquiring media, except 480i library DVDs.
Really the only safe, cheap and sustainable way nowadays is to use docker + gluetun + mullvad VPN (or your preferred VPN.
VPNs are cheap and they’re worth it.
Mullvad is dropping support for port forwarding as of July 1st (a lack of which cripples torrenting), so this actually no longer a good option. I’m miffed about it since I just set it all up a couple weeks ago. I haven’t done my research to see if there are any trustworthy VPN providers left which offer port forwarding.
