I'll be honest, there's some fiddling, but you can run a jellyfin server from a laptop/desktop pretty easily for home streaming.
If you can find your way to the jellyfin-server installer for your OS, and point it at a library folder, just putting media in that folder is all you have left to do--it pretty much takes care of the rest, and all streams over your local home network.
The thing that always gets me isn’t necessarily the setup, it’s just the ease of access with Netflix or D+. If I want to re-watch all of Daredevil, it’s just there. I don’t have to download anything, it’s just ready whenever I feel like watching.
It’s sheer laziness on my part, but I accept that.
Until it isn't. Either because the license is too expensive, or runs out, other random streaming service got it, not available in your country ...
Piracy means you have it. Forever. Unchanged. No taksies-backsies. No (half a) dozen subscriptions to get access to even 80% of content.
Or the fuckers decide that your tier can now only play in 720p or some shit and you have to shell out a fiver more. And repeat it in 3 years.
