Yeah but good luck building out homelab these days. Too expensive

Bro win 10 computers are essentially free thanks to microsoft's windows 11 requirements and any of them can keep up with transcoding. Add onto that any second hand sata drives and a sata controller than handles multiple parity drives for raid 5 and you've got a solution that is under the yearly subscription fee of ad-free netflix and a fun weekend project.
