And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg…

(And that “watch similar movies” thing can go to hell too)

ETA:

Jellyfin is great, yes.

    I have the DVD. It’s somewhere in the pile.

    I need to one day develop a DVD/BR/book catalogue app to get even vague idea about what exactly is on my shelves and boxes. It has long since gone unmanageable. At least I know what’s my next major project after NaNoWriMo.

      I did the math and with current HDD prices it’s legit cheaper to rip DVDs as 1:1 copies and store them on a NAS vs buying the shelf space my 1000+ movies and TV shows would need.

      I’ll keep physical copies of the rares and classics, but the rest will be donated after I’ve digitised them.

        I started with the movies, but I only had about 60 DVDs. I start ripping one on Saturday morning, then go do something else. Easy peasy and jellyfin does the rest.
