As the title states I am wondering what would be a good machine to build for my piracy. I am open to buying a used machine on eBay and expanding over time.
The last time I was sailing I had a Dell R610 Server Rack but I don’t have the space for this now. So something that can sit behind a tv stand in the corner next to the router.
I would be running Plex / Jellyfin
Some kind of torrent software
Something for NZBs if still viable
then the usual SONARR, RADARR, etc
I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.

I have an ancient (10+ years old) macbook pro running with a Jellyfin server and qBitorrent and a VPN and it works great!
No complaints. (I also have a 2 TB harddrive plugged into it).
Does this ancient macbook pro still receive OS updates? Separate but related for purposes of choosing hardware. Thanks!
No it doesn’t. I run older versions of some software. I plan to switch to linux once macos gives out.
Oh that’s great to hear, that things are still running on a decade old hardware. I will factor this into my choices when weighing price points.
