Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I have like 20TB+ worth of external drives right now that hold all my shit (movies, tv shows, audiobooks, anime, manga, roms, etc.) I want to buy a 4+bay NAS and eventually set it up for streaming. However, right now I just have a an excel file that is organized but each drive and what is contained in each one. I just connect my drive to my Xbox series X and just play it with Kodi. I do have Fen (and I think the Promise) connected to RD. I know I can stream practically stream anything but I really do like having the actual files (I may be a digital hoarder).

Plex for streaming Movies / TV / Music Radarr / Sonarr / Lidarr + Prowlarr I use calibre to manage my ebook library and calibre-web to serve it haugene/transmission-openvpn + a VPN

Movie/shows download via pyload since one-click hoster is cheaper than Usenet. And I collect them in german/english. Torrents are not so wide spread for that combination.
Kodi for tagging.
Music per Lidarr/Jackett/Deluge/nzbget/OpenVPN primarily Usenet + occasionally torrent.
Tagging by beets because of its discogs plug-in since it is much better than musicbrainz on obscure music.

TV/Movies: lookmovie2, sflix, 9anime (I only stream)

Music: Deemix and Musicolet

Manga: Kotatsu

Books: Libgen and Book Reader unless my local library has it.

I switched from Plex to Emby a few years ago after some Plex changes really made me frustrated with it.

I've been loving Emby.

I organize all my games with Lutris, and my music library with Sayonara (the closest thing I've found to the era of Winamp I knew and loved). I don't have enough stuff to require any further automation.

Sonarr/radarr with rdtclient(real-debrid torrent client) for public torrent links, Qbittorrent vpn for private trackers, and then sabnzbd for usenet.

I mainly use this all for anime because it's harder for me to watch on the fly through kodi. Jellyfin for playback

I also use Kodi with seren and Real-Debrid for everything I don't wanna store.... Which is most of it

Jellyfin for my media, and that's about it. I don't have local music, ebooks etc. As for games, I just use Steam but have backups of some of my GOG games.

I just use Real Debrid and Google Drive tbh

@RandomLegend Here's how I do stuff:

• I use Calibre for books
• I use Shotwell for photos and videos
• I use Audacious for music
• For moving and deleting files around, I just use the regular file manager. I put music in Music, photos in the Pictures folder, videos go to Videos, documents go to Documents etc.

Haven't had to save any files lately except my favs. Stremio + torguard VPN on a Chromecast TV works amazingly well once you add some custom torrent sites.
