I recently came across a video by Loyal Moses titled “They’re Banning Your Home Server”.
This got me thinking about what it means for anyone who likes running their own gear.
The industry lobby’s framing around private servers feels like a major mask-off moment for big tech, treating user-controlled hardware as a threat.
I have written a short piece in reaction to the video and would love to hear your thoughts.

It’s not. “Normal” people think running my own Jellyfin server is impressive, and I’m a scrub doing it for fun. Most people will never be able to pull off self-hosting anything, it’s too much work.
After setting up my own Jellyfin, i just cant stand paid streaming. It is like going back a decade experience wise with a 90s experience in quality.
Who knew VHS water and night artifacts would still be common in 2026.
