I’m that guy as well, but can’t get family to use it. So when they complain they can’t steam something, I just ignore them. I do it for myself, they just get it because. But I’m not going to keep offering, fuck it. Go spend your money on shitty atreing services. I’ve got 7000 movies now and almost 300 series.

I’m specifically doing this to get family and friends to cancel their streaming subscriptions. Not to save them money, to hurt the corporations more than I can do just myself.

  Can’t make someone do something they don’t want to, even if it benefits them financially. I stopped trying.

    True that. I don’t pressure them into it.

I love wireguard for this. If they can’t get that working, then no jellyfin for them. Filters out the PEBKAC people wonderfully.
