Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Is it Intel?
If so I would use GPU acceleration
Edit: I see it is a N100. Definitely use hardware acceleration. I would also make sure that you run your media though Handbrake if it is in raw form.
Given they use a N100, I'd suggest redownloading instead of transcoding for time, energy and quality savings (i.e cost).
Downloading from where?
You get the content from blurays typically (you surely aren't talking about piracy)
Given OP mentioned torrent and watching media in the same sentence I assume they didn't rip their own media, and pirated it instead.
If my assumption is wrong, I apologize.
Piracy and Morality
Whether they own a physical edition of that media I don't know. In my opinion owning a physical medium of the media is a big part in the morality discussion of piracy.But in my juriscition I'm legally not allowed to break the encryption used for CD/DVD/Blu-ray, so I'm technically pirating even if I rip my own discs. There's obviously no way for copyright owners to find out if their discs were ripped for a private copy, but that's also (nearly) the case for Usenet/Torrent with proper precautions.
Anyway, if you read until this point, thank you!
Yes, I did, I do not apologize. Fuck big streaming. I only redownload if the size is too big however, finding the "exact" correct codec is just kind of a pain in the ass.
Do you use the *arr apps? Radarr lets you set profiles that can prioritize file size as well as codec. Then the process of acquisition is more automated but still prioritizes your preferences
I tried to figure that out, but it is a little confusing
