      It was the dawn of the third age of piratekind – ten years after the Napster-Limewire War.

      The Pirate Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and nerds can download their media peacefully. It’s a port of call – home away from home – for seeders, leechers, entrepreneurs, and youtubers.

      Humans and nerds, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand terabytes of spinning metal…all alone in the night.

      It can be a dangerous place, but it’s our last best hope for streaming.

      This is the story of the last of the Piracy stations. The year is 2026. The name of the place is Babylon 5’s youtube channel.

      I thought Jellyfin was just a self-hosted client/server for the media you already possess…? Are you just being tongue-in-cheek and I’m whooshing a ref to #SailingTheHighSeas, or am I missing something about Jellyfin?

        Yeah I was just joking haha. Treating Jellyfin like a real streaming service because it is effectively that when you automate it.

        You don’t have to sail the high seas to have jellyfin. You can legitimately backup your physical media to it.

        Just to be clear, you can (and many do) use jellyfin to just access the stuff you own. It’s a convenient way to always have all your DVD/br available. And music library. And eBooks.

        High seas need not be involved.

      I need to setup a Jellyfin for my media. Is it easy to stream it across the Internet, I’m worried about opening myself up to hackers or something.

        As long as you use something like fail2ban you should be okay. If you really want to go hard there are things like authentik or even vlans to keep your important stuff separate from exposed services.

        I’ve been using a jellyfin server with SWAG on an unraid server for years with a few friends with 0 issues.

        I don’t open mine up to the internet. Instead I set up a wireguard vpn, and any time my devices are not on my home network they autoconnect to wireguard, and then have access to jellyfin and other services I host internally.

        This generally works well unless I want to share my jellyfin with a friend or try to airplay to a TV outside of my network.
