Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

    I just set all this up this past weekend on my home server. It was a really fun learning experience, and it all works quite well so far. Highly recommend.

    Overseerr is also a great app you can use to allow users to request/auto-download content they want to watch straight to Plex, etc.

      yeah its fucking awesome. Its a learning curve for sure but in the end you kind of see that its actually pretty easy to get going. But yeah, first time doing it, expect frustration. Overseer is amazing! :)
