Prices are rising across Netflix, Spotify, and their peers, and more people are quietly returning to the oldest playbook of the internet: piracy. Is the golden age of streaming over?

    Self-Hosting? What happened to saving things onto a hard drive?

      Self-hosting is saving to a hard drive. The difference is how it’s accessed. If you save it to a (presumably portable?) hard drive, you can only access it from the hard drive. “Self-hosting” allows it to be stored on a hard drive, inside a server, which is then accessible from anywhere, on any device, at any time.

      Self hosting essentially stores all of your data on your hard drive, but it also allows access to that via local network (while at home) and over internet via secured tunnel (e.g. Wireguard tunnel, Tailscale) while away from home.
