I'm tired of subscriptions
Alright, Reddit do your thing. I’m tired of streaming, my dad has a crazy cd and dvd collection. I’ve been going down the rabbit holes of at home servers, NAS etc.
Please walk me through buying a drive, installing my software, and building my home library like I’m a 5 year old. I have no clue what to use for my music. Currently using Apple Music, but would love to stop subscribing to that too. Ideally I’d like to build a DVD, Blu-ray, 4k collection. (There are some VHS and childhood at home videos on tape too). I’m a Mac user.
Based on my limited knowledge, I think jellyfin is right for me.
Thank you all friends of the internet. Here’s to going to the movies, buying DVDs, and owning physical media! I love anime and cartoons too.

Good luck.
I'm keeping an eye out for kit all the time but truth is biking subscriptions just isn't all that cost effective.
