It’s now explicitly against Disney Plus’s policies for Canadian subscribers to share passwords outside of their household.

I cancelled all my subscription services today and fired up the ol' abandoned Plex server. I was paying for the convenience for awhile to be honest, but I'm over it now. Internet and a VPN are mostly all anybody needs anymore.

Also unlike streaming services, the tools around this stuff have only gotten better over time. It's so much easier now to set up your own personal streaming service than when I was last into it years ago.

i'm actually reverting back to pre-digital. i still collect files and some things are easier that way, but it doesn't feel quite as satisfying to play one as it does a disc or vinyl. it's cool seeing all the cases lined up on a shelf

I’ve thought about doing this, but the downside is that the physical media can deteriorate. I just started backing up my DVDs yesterday to my NAS and the first disc I pulled out was rotting.
