It may be helpful to know that the former r/zfs community has migrated to a Discourse server at practicalzfs.com. Might be worth asking there for some expert advice.

I tried posting there, but the mods haven’t been there in a couple of days to approve my post. I tried posting on reddit but since reddit is a garbage website that noone should ever visit, I was immediately shadowbanned and noone has seen my posts.

Thanks for your post.

Europe is always ready to save white people

You make that sound like its racist for European countries wanting to help out a European neighbor. It isn’t.

Stremio is essentially a glorified torrent client with a nice UI. It runs locally on a device connected to the tv you want to stream to. It behind the scenes searches trackers and downloads from torrents of the content someone wants to watch in a netflix like UI. Someone that wasn’t technology literate wouldn’t know they were pirating content from torrents if you didn’t tell them.

A solution is that you manage the server and jellyfin and your friends/family connect to it.

While a self hosted solution like this would be nice, I would get messages everyday from friends and family frequently asking, “Can you add this movie to the server? Can you add this TV show to the server?” and they would eventually stop asking me and just pay for a streaming service if I forgot to fulfill every request. I would like to avoid having to manually add content to the server if my friends and family can just choose the content their wanting to watch themselves.
