Topic per title, basically.

For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)... I keep circling back to Nova video player.

https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-AVP/releases

It's arguably not even self hosting...but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc

IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.

Could I ask what cloud storage you went with? Looking for recommendations for potential backups.

    I discovered Tresorit and I like it so far. $150 usd a year for 1 TB. Owned by the Swiss Post of all things. I prefer state owned or non profit companies where possible as service providers.

    I also wanted something GDPR compliant and outside the scope of the Cloud Act. I didn't want my data accessible by a hostile nation.

    I like their cli tools, though they are setup a bit weirdly on linux. It's more like running binaries and scripts than installing a package. Nevertheless, it gets the job done. Upload speed isn't amazing, but it is overseas. Took nearly 24 hours to send 100gb or something. My server handles it, so its not a concern.

    I'm not sure I could recommend it as a replacement for a Google Drive since I don't use it that way. I just turn the sync on once a week and it'll diff what's on my backups.

    I might setup a different folder to use as a more daily cloud storage and see how that goes. There's desktop and mobile apps.
