If you are doing Jellyfin, see if you can score an old graphics card to help with transcoding. I use old 1050ti cards.

Bro, tag that shit NSFW. It’s straight up porn.

Personally, I tend to only pirate music files that I just can’t find anywhere else. For example, audiophile quality 45rpm vinyl rips of albums that might have only been sold in that format once, and for a very limited run. In cases like that, I almost feel a responsibility to maintain a copy because it is something that could very easily disappear from existence.

The guys doing the rips understand that they might own one of maybe a few hundred copies of a certain album, so they rip at audiophile quality and share.

I’m going to make the switch to Linux…

This is the way.
