Best remote torrent / VPN / Plex setup ?
I've got Medusa (aka pyMedusa) for automatically grabbing episodes of the shows I watch, renaming them and moving them to their respective folders. There' a Medusa DSM 7 V2.3.spk package available here: https://github.com/BenjV/SYNO-packages When you install package it gets the latest version of pyMedusa from https://github.com/pymedusa/Medusa and once installed Medusa updates itself (though you do have to stop and start Medusa in package center).

Most used selfhosted services in 2022?
Medusa for a sonarr replacement. I got tired of jackett and sonarr messing up, not finding shows, etc... Been using for about 3 years now. Very satisfied. https://pymedusa.com/

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.

Setting up a home media PC to stream to TV
I used Plex until I found Emby, which is far easier to set up and works very well with all my media.
