    I've had getting Jellyfin up and going for some time now, I bought the gear for it even. I just haven't had the time. The interface looks like a nice replacement for Netflix if I can get my entire collection o the server.

    Yeah, once you have enough stuff in it, it really does feel like using a dec streaming service.

    Possibly better than a lot of them, since it's not as if you're getting ads terrible suggestions.

    You don't miss the joy and pleasure of removing the plastic from the cassette, CD, DVD, etc.. and getting that "new media" smell? I suppose it's a bit nostalgic, maybe a bit hoarding, or to your point, just

    Well, sure, that's pleasant, but then there's the unpleasantness of having a pile of stuff that has questionable amounts of usage.

    So I've tended to really only hold on to stuff that I think would be hard to find again. So things like the BBS Documentary (which, admittedly, my copy lives at my brother's place, I think), or the variety of organ DVDs I've bee collecting.
    I have seen Jason Scott's BBS Documentary library on a couple of bulletin boards to download. I watched a few of them and they bring back the history of the BBS in America very well. I hope you are doing well.

    Others have talked about it before, but 'Back to the BBS' is another, more recent, doc that discusses more the BBS community of today - and their history; highly suggest checking it out, too. :P
