How lazy are you? Stream movie with ads or get off the couch to put in DVD?

Get up and put in Blu-ray or just F'it and deal with janky streaming and ads

I don't have blu ray player anymore so streaming only for me. I like to buy stuff when I can though but I still stream those too
 
In the last 2 years pretty much shifted as much as I can over to self-hosting...tired of cloud crap that feels like renting or goes down. l just buy shows and movies on clearance or at thrift stores, convert them digital, and host them on my NAS using Jellyfin. h.265 1080p blu-rays look as good as 4k compressed streaming.

Dumbest thing cloud streaming did for me was 2 days ago my Sengled light bulbs just stopped working, stuck in a dimmed state because the app's server was down, including the login to even manage them. 2nd time this happened this year...just immediately uninstalled the crap app, and threw away the wi-fi hub. Span up a virtual machine of Home Assistant, passed through a cheap $10 Zigbee usb stick today, connected the bulbs to that, and setup the same automated routines + voice commands through my phone.
 
Should be a mandate that everyone own a copy of Tremors.

We watch so much that we pay for premium streaming. At least for now.
I used to collect a lot of BlueRay discs, that I still own, but it has been long since i really greatly enjoyed a new movie.
