I only had to buy a VPN and a cheap mini PC as a server. And then a 1tb SSD. Then I needed to buy another 2tb. And then I had to run Ethernet upstairs for it since the WiFi card couldn’t keep up. Then I had to upgrade the router to support the new gigabit cabling…

Yeah, at least you OWN something. With digital games or subscription services you are at the mercy of companies.
Yeah, I’m going for a bit more storage, currently sitting at 108TB. The price of my home server could pay for around 75 years of Netflix.
Selection is probably better though

No selection on your server is probably better…at least for your taste.
