It's an absurdly complex system but one that allows me to watch pretty much whatever I want, wherever I want, whenever I want. I'm recognizing how glorious it is to get my daughter hooked on Miyazaki rather than Disney and having her grow up in a world where commercials are these alien things that make no sense rather than just another exhortation to spend.

It is complex! I currently use a single private tracker that manages to have all the shows and movies I'm interested in on there. I've been keeping a synology backup but they're so bloody expensive. I have a JBOD set up since I had a bunch of spare drives laying around.

Synology is worth every penny. The fact that I could stand up 24TB of RAID6 in 20 minutes, harden it in 60 and maintain it in about 5 minutes/month says a lot.
