My family started doing movie nights during the pandemic. At first it was fine until I found out they were sometimes spending $15-$25 EACH to purchase or rent a movie for the week. So once I found out about Plex's watch together feature it was a no brainier. Then later I decided to add radarr to make adding movies easier, and it just kept evolving to where it is today. At this point it is more expensive than just buying all the different streaming services, but much more fun and rewarding.
How does it end up more expensive than all the streaming services for you?
Well it's been a while since I looked at streaming service prices, but let's go with $80 a month for all of them.
VPN: $8
Hard drives: ~$1000 total ($20 a month for 2 years)
Power: $15
Semetrical Gig Internet: $20 (extra)
Usenet: $12
Total: $75
Not quite as expensive, but it feels like it sometimes, especially when I have to drop $250 on a hard drive when one fails.
Man you're getting ripped off on the usenet price. I pay 45 a year for it. But fair enough. Ive offloaded the cost of harddrives to my "customers" by charging them 5 bucks a month to use it kekw
Who are you using for Usenet? I just started using it after rarbg went down, so I went with Newshosting.

I got a deal but its default price is 5 a month
