This may not be at the top of my "excessive" list, but it's the most recent. I bought a pair of ex-enterprise HP servers and a 32RU rack to hold them, so I could cancel my Netflix subscription.
I used the opportunity to get into Proxmox for my self-hosting (instead of docker on RasPis) and it's safe to say I'm now deeper into the rabbit hole than ever before. Lol.
Link to what? The person is either pirating or buying digital copies of TV/movies and storing them on a server. Likely being served with Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin.
