I got a raspberry pi and some wd red drives when Google photos went for a pay model. We use it to back up our phones and pc, and to run jellyfin and torrents. It’s not wildly different from doing things on pc, except it’s set it and forget it. Having something always on, reliable, and “just works” makes it worthwhile.

I have one folder for movies, one for kids movies, shows etc. It takes some work, but for sorting similar titles I just click on the show and edit the meta data. There’s “Title”, and “sort title”, so in the case of Star wars and its sequels I leave “title” for Starwars, empire, and Jedi the same but change “sort title” to starwars1, starwars2, starwars3. Same goes for Harry Potter for the kids, or anything in a series with a subtitle rather than a number.

I have been pleasantly surprised the last several days. I was a little disappointed with the content at first (though I did enjoy how it felt like the “old” internet), but now that the apps have rapidly improved (connect is great!), and I’ve started subscribing to some interesting communities I really love it. It’s like a kinder gentler reddit.
