TLDR:

Current ad free plans for Disney+ and Hulu are now raising $3 more on October 12. Both becoming $13.99 and $17.99.

    I’m so close to deciding to sail the high seas again.

    I’ve been a lifetime Plex pass subscriber for years now… Just need to get a VPN again, get back on Usenet or real-debrid, and maybe setup Sonarr and Radarr.

    I’ll almost certainly save money and have access to more content than I currently do.

        I’d never heard of Bazarr before but I also don’t usually bother with downloading subtitles so I guess that makes sense.

        Thanks for the suggestions though!

        I’ve not heard of gluetun before but I’ve been a free level windscribe subscriber for several years now and have considered maybe using them when I switch to paid… I think there may be better options though really.

        I guess I need to read up more in what the hell gluetun actually even is or if it would benefit me at all…

        I’ve got over 25 years in I.T. and, while I’ve worked on and with teams where some folks dealt with docker containers, I personally never have as of yet.

      My yearly cost for Usenet is cheaper than one month of Netflix. Granted I already have 60TB of NAS set-up, which wasn’t cheap, but it has more than paid for itself.

      Docker and the *arr programs have made setting it all up an absolute breeze too for anyone looking to get started.

      If it has been mentioned already. Plex_Debrid is the perfect mix without needing a VPN. Yes a VPN is always suggested but this streams directly to your plex server from real debrid.

        Yes… I understand that.

        I also understand that real-debrid does keep logs so that’s why I still plan to VPN it if I go with this solution.

        Might as well do it as safely as possible to begin with I think.
