Yeah my wife’s Granny would buy me some every year. Then she died and now I don’t get socks at Christmas and it makes me sad. Not because I want socks, I want Granny Babs back

It’s only just dozens, I mean it’s 2 and a bit dozen, technically correct which is the worst kind of correct
34 people from the UK according to the Torygraph. Loads
Yeah I know, I use Gluetun now, I was just answering OPs question.
I ran a Linux VM and just had Mullvad app installed and always on, and that was all I needed
Yes
Back when I was a streamer I used Kodi with the add-ons (I was in a subreddit where the current good ones got posted now and then) and had a Real Debrid account.
It was really convenient, maybe give it a go with your Pi. There’s an OS you can bang on it (is it openelec? Libre-elec? Something like that) and just plug it into your TV. You’ll have to work out controlling it in a convenient way, I have a little keyboard about the size of a remote with a usb dongle. It’s got a little touchpad for the mouse and cost me fuck all on Amazon.
You do have to pay for Real Debrid but it’s totally worth the price and will get you used to paying for piracy.
So the cycle goes:
Install Kodi and play with the free streams and think it’s pretty great, get frustrated because you can’t watch that one thing, finally bite the bullet and get a month of Real Debrid, tell your friends how ace Real Debrid is.
Just skip that and get Real Debrid once you have your Pi set up.
Oh no a nipple! Clutches pearls
I think you should have a thin sheet of steel kept in your car or somewhere safe, so you can just use that like a locksmith.
I haven’t heard any news that we in the western world have moved our whole economy to war yet, but I have heard that about Russia.
So not as bad as Russia I guess.
Plex was easy enough to set up. I use plexamp on my phone but can access the Plex server via a browser, which includes my music
Meh my Usenet provider also partners with a VPN provider. Still costs me £5 a month for the VPN but I may as well use it, I like having a VPN
Douch or turd sandwich?
Either way you’re paying lots of money to watch a man sing that can’t sing. At least with NOFX he wears a tutu too
Kick back, watch it crumble
See the drowning
Watch the fall
I feel just terrible about it
That’s sarcasm, let it burn
I’m gonna make a toast when it falls apart
I’m gonna raise my glass above my heart
Then someone shouts, “That’s what they get”
For all the years of hit-and-run
For all the piss broke bands on VH-1
Where did all their money go?
Don’t we all know?
Parasitic music industry
I had a friend bring up this very topic this weekend and I replied “What would be more creepy and more likely is that the ad giants have algorithms for working out what you’ll buy that are that good that they know what you want before you do and you’re just noticing how good it is”
I had a friend at work who said “People who pirate stuff are just as bad as burglers” to me. I had just been Burgled 2 weeks before Christmas.
I replied “Right so I’m as bad as the smack heads that robbed my kids presents, is that what you’re saying?”
He did that thing folk do when they look like a fish breathing then tried to backtrack, but that’s when he became a “work colleague” again.
Yeah I mean I get it because I was also thinking about self hosting for a long time and had a bunch of questions myself.
The problem is that a lot of the questions were not needed, and a bunch of the other questions I answered myself by just tooling around with the stuff.
Great comment btw, it’s a good idea to have a list of the services you’d like to run, in order of importance z then work through it.
I did that then found ways to combine a bunch of services, to the point where I had multiple stand alone VMs that are now just one for Home Assistant and second for Plex and Docker
I see a lot of posts like this and it’s always people overthinking something they haven’t tried to do yet.
So my advice is to just do it.
You may lose everything at some point in the future, Satan knows I have a few times, but because you’ve actually done it, you can do it again.
Now, because you’re just thinking about doing it, it seems like a massive deal because you’ve not gone out and done it yet.
As for recommendations, I use a Proxmox VM with Debian and Docker. My Proxmox does backups, but my Docker compose is also a text document on my PC so I can recreate it all from scratch from that. I also have an idea what I did when I was learning how to do it, and have retained a good bit of that info so I could probably do it without either the backups or the Docker Compose, it would just take longer.
Just do it
