Did BI get hacked or did it just go down?
I'd have to circle back and look again because it's been a few years. I was able to get Zoneminder to do 95% of what I wanted even if it felt a bit clunky. Shinobi was an up-and-comer last time I was looking around, but I remember having some frustrations and decided to stick with BI.
- Open source free camera recording?

Need a robust RTSP viewer for multi-user office
Shinobi: Very easy to setup and customize, but there's a 5+ second lag on the video feed vs. IRL

NVR Software reccomendations
If cost is a concern: shinobi.video is about the best I've ever seen. Integrated s3/bucket abilities, killer support, and can handle truely brain-breaking amounts of cameras. Otherwise, as others have mentioned: Milestone is damn nice.

The privacy loophole in your doorbell
A more contemporary alternative to ZoneMinder would be Shinobi: https://shinobi.video/

Recommend me a good nvr solution
Have I got the software for you! Shinobi is the solution! Simple setup! Ninja easy! Sexy interface? Check. Easy setup? Yep. More than 4 camera streams at once? You got it. Person/Motion/Object detection? Yes, with the caveat that you really should use a GPU for it. PTZ? Uh-huh!
- Software for viewing footage from multiple cameras recommendations?
- Current NVR technology, looking for best option that doesn't end up costing me more than needed
- what can I do other then CCTV for home security
- What is the best Free preferably open source NVR?

Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)
-
Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.
- Multiple people on the same account at once?
