Lumo isn’t really private. If you’re not local, you’re not private. AFAIK it sends to the model in cleartext (zero access) which isn’t E2EE. Signal, for example, is E2EE. Based on internet reviews, you’re better off running the models they offer locally for performance reasons on the cost anyway. I’d say you’re better off without AI in almost every situation you’d want to use an LLM of such such limited capability too so unless you really really want to set resources on fire it’s better to just drop it period.
Netflix cannot be replaced by Jellyfin. That is very disingenuous. To “replace” Netflix with Jellyfin requires a bit more infrastructure and while it might be cheaper there’s risk involved that isn’t present with your other changes.
We like to pretend or tell our wives it is, but hard drives and electricity likely come close or maybe even exceed a netflix subscription.
Host your media collection because it’s in better quality, titles don’t leave the service, and overall it’s just cooler. But don’t do it because it’s “cheaper.”
It might not be cheaper than Netflix, but it’s a lot cheaper than Netflix + Hulu + Disney Plus + HBO Max + Paramount Plus + Peacock + Prime + Britbox + whatever new streaming service that somebody will launch tomorrow

Jellyfin/Plex is not cheaper than Netflix.

Sure, just don’t tell my wife
8TB external hard drive ($160) + old laptop + “H265 sources” = way cheaper than a bunch of streaming services

Math does not check out. It is a lot cheaper.
