Jumping on this and will be starting slowly. I have a newish laptop…that has a broken screen. Alternatively I can pick up a new one. I also have a bunch of portable hard drives.

I have terrible internet (cable) with the phone line sitting at a spot in the hall where I could keep a small dedicated cupboard. So I was thinking something connected by Ethernet.

I want to ideally use it for downloading content and streaming it to devices around the house. Likely firestick or an alternative tv box.

Secondly I would use to stream music to my iPhone outside the house.

Any guides or starting points would be welcome.

This console is gonna be a hard no from me. If I can’t own my stuff they don’t get my money.

Yeh my family treat me like I am a nut job. I only swapped away from google and ask them to think about the orgs they spend their money on for example Amazon.

It’s amazing how many people got on board with Covid conspiracies but questioning where you data goes, who’s using it, what for, no that’s a bit far lol.
