Hey all, more question time. What was the "push" that made you set up your servarr instance? For me, my wife is from a different country than I am. We both paid for netflix but due to region lock could never watch anything together without piracy. I realized very quickly that it was a worthless endevour to keep going with the dance so I just figured fuck it, Ill go all in.

How does it end up more expensive than all the streaming services for you?

[–] computerboss 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.
