Finally got around to setting up a local Jellyfin server, then setup Tailscale to access it remotely while I'm out.

Setup was super easy — way easier than I anticipated — including the basic setup of Tailscale.

I'm kind of kicking myself for not trying this sooner. I had so many (mostly unused) steaming subs I was wasting money on. They all gradually got worse, started introducing more ads, etc..

I've already cancelled all of them except one now, and as soon as I've made a list of all the things I watch there, I'm dropping it, too.

    Look out for an option to receive all data they have stored on you. It might take a few days until they have your collection ready but you will receive a nice machine readable data set of what you've watched. It may require some post-processing depending on how crappy their internal data model is. Did this for Netflix and the result was very workable.
