I lied, there’s no Netflix.
Instead I have a local Jellyfin server with twenty terabytes of pirated media.

I don’t do this, I just don’t think it’s particularly unreasonable to have that much storage. It’s less than what apple will charge you for a 2tb ssd
Well that’s like saying going to 7/11 is cheaper than going to the moon. Apple charges multiple hundreds of dollars for a watch band, and $80 for a holder for their pen.
If you just want to be able to watch stuff and have some in storage to watch later less will do you than getting half a rent payment payment in hard drives.
Yes, if you’re limited on money you certainly don’t need that much. You could get very similar setup with Seagate’s 8tb drives for like $200. And things don’t need to be stored in archival quality either. Just saying that amount of storage isn’t crazy expensive nowadays.
Also you forgot the $700 Mac pro wheels lol (yes they cost that much now)
Yeah. I’m just holding the line happily of what you can get away with minimally since I used to use a cell phone plan and a USB adapter for micro sd cards. But that was for sharing movies with people that didn’t have internet for months and it was basically currency.
You are correct that server setups are shockingly cheap especially when compared to any apple product ever.
I’m very proud of my budget server setup. around $220 in total for an i7 6700 thinkcentre from the university surplus store, plus 16 gb ram, a 256 gb sata SSD and an 8tb hdd
I don’t use it for media hosting or anything, so the 8tb drive is mostly just for backups of the server and my desktop.
