Comment on Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed

I can’t set up a NAS because hosting things on the network is against their policy, and I also wouldn’t feel comfortable having that type of hardware in my room. And if electricity bills skyrocket because of me, I’ll be forced to pay them.

You could attach an external drive to a slim laptop or low-power PC like a Pi, only accessible by yourself, and technically you’ve got a media server!
You can host things from a virtual machine on your main computer, with a chunky external drive attached, if you wanted. :) That’s the fun part, you can start from the bottom and expand as your knowledge and space allow!
You could also run services from a paid hosting server, but I don’t think the returns would be great for packing tons of data on there. :p
