    I took a long hard look the other day and realized there’s nothing I can’t live without on Netflix. I’m thinking about cancelling. I tend to watch Crave and Disney Plus and rarely even open Netflix.

          I setup a Jellyfin server. It took only maybe 15 minutes and I even setup a few profiles with parental controls on one.

          I already knew how to acquire the media for the server. It works pretty well on our Roku too. Way better than Plex and way more clean of a UI.

      I have been checking the thrift stores for DVDs and blu rays lately with a plan to drop one or more streaming services. I’m afraid to tally up how much we pay a month for all that crap.

      We cancelled all our streaming services this month except Disney+ which is credited back on our credit card each month.

      We had Netflix, Prime, and Crunchyroll that we cancelled. We don’t really watch anything on Prime. On Netflix we just watched reruns for background noise while doing other things around the house. And Crunchyroll removed Funimation’s digital library after acquisition so I canceled them on principle even though that was easily the most used service.
