I have my own Jellyfin server with pirated content for myself and mother, but I don't feel good charging money for "stolen" things.
Stealing to eat is one thing, stealing bread to sell for profit is different.
This is the reason I roll my eyes when millennials talk about setting up “their plex” or “their discord”. It’s not your sandcastle if someone else owns the sandbox.

I just wanted to write that I'm glad that I'm using Jellyfin at home :) No unnecessary online accounts, just "my" media on my server.
What's a good setup to run jellyfin on. I currently run it on a Linux desktop. I tried running it on a raspberry pi, but it felt like it was struggling. Did I expect too much?
Pentium J5005, only quad core and no hyper threading, but it is Gemini Lake refresh so can do QuickSync without actually using the CPU. I believe it is something like 10 realtime 1080p re-encoding streams simultaneously. 2-4 4k re-encodes but I've not tested it that much.
Multiple USB 3.1 for hooking D4-400s to for ZFS, and two ram slots that claim a max of 8 GB but mines doing fine with 32GB.

This is why it's better to control your software. Firms change over time and your interests are likely to diverge from theirs. This is _especially_ true when we're talking about media-related software which is always contentious in terms of copyright. Jellyfin isn't as feature-rich or polished as Plex, but I rest assured knowing that I'm the one who controls my installation.
> This is why it's better to control your software. Firms change over time and your interests are likely to diverge from theirs. Agreed, but I think I signed up back in 2013 or so, when there were few (or zero? can't remember) alternatives.
It stinks when a good piece of software goes bad, but if it does I start moving away. The thing that started me moving away was the first time my internet went out and I couldn't access my media stored in my living room because I couldn't reach Plex's login server.

Use Emby, it's much more focused on accessing your own files, while Plex has shifted towards ad supported movies which are accessible in a million other ways. I assume that's why they are cancelling users who actually use their own stuff.
Enshitificaion comes for everyone. At least that has been our experience with ZIRP, now that it’s paused we’ll see.
But in the case of sharing media with strict copywrite, it might be better to host your own.
