We are both impressed at how polished Jellyfin is. Adding the few titles we've re-purchased then seeing them show up with full metadata, cover images, etc. as polished as any paid streaming service is encouraging us to plan what we want to (re-)acquire next.

I've tried to put together our own media collection on our own server before but the end experience was always so rough we didn't stick to it.

Part of the motivation for making this work now is concern over what we may lose access to in the next few years, for capitalistic and political reasons.

A side benefit will be changing our relationship to commercial streaming, similar to how the open social web has changed both of our relationships with commercial social media.

We may start shedding a few, keeping only one or two so we can continue to sample new stuff, choosing what we add to our own collection.

The resilience we're adding to by rebuilding our media library with our own family-scale infrastructure starts to follow through on what I think we'll need to persist through the next few years.

Another aspect of this project also connects with resilience and in particular community. The infrastructure I'm using, tailscale, should make it possible to extend private, secure sharing.
