[LPT] Call and threaten to cancel your subscription services once a year; their retention department will give you a better rate (lemmy.ca)

This only works by phone. Be nice, but firm. Don’t be satisfied with their first answer – make them escalate you to the retention department. They’re often authorised to give much larger discounts because it’s cheaper for them to retain customers than to recruit new ones.

NAS, Jellyfin and Tailscale.

Thanks for that info. We’re not all that committed to the high seas, though. I guess this tip is for ~~regular people~~ landlubbers.

You don't have to be on the high seas to use jellyfin.

You can backup any existing dvd or Bluray you have and play it through jellyfin.
