The Deception of “Buying” Digital Movies
I use this project by Don Melton to get a Blu-ray video down to an 8 - 10 GB file size: https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding
It uses HandBrake, FFmpeg, MKVToolNix, and MP4v2 with some custom tuned settings and has really good results from my experience.

What Are Your Most Used Self Hosted Applications?
I have primarily used Plex and pretty much everything you said is accurate for Plex as well. Limited transcoding based on the machine it is running on. As disc has become cheaper, I have pretty much stopped doing batch transcodes, which is great for the most part. But there are definitely negatives when you want to watch something offline, or remotely. Biggest pain point is subtitles though. Since they aren't ripped as text and then sent to a client, they have to be burned in to the video itself and transcoded on the fly. Which means losing out on 'forced' ones if it can't transcode fast enough.
Plex has definitely started to try and commercialize itself more and offer other stuff, when all I want is access to my own media. So I may look into Jellyfin more soon.
As for batch transcode jobs, I had a system that I was able to set up as essentially a black box. Drop a rip into a folder and out the other side comes a smaller one at a reasonable quality. With forced subs burned right into the actual video. Mostly based on https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding

BluRay Movie File Size Question
I use Don Melton’s tools to transcode videos to mp4 files. His tools makes use of Handbrake but he has it tuned to produce very small video files of very high quality. You are unlikely to notice the difference when watching the videos.

Hit my goal. 100 movies in one year. Done the “old fashioned” way (rip—>encode). Made it with two days to spare. (Plex server built Sept 29, 2020)
Checkout https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding. In my experience produces higher quality and smaller files than handbrake alone.

I present to you: The ripper
Check out https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding – I use it to turn raw Blu-ray tips from 30+ gigs down to 5-7 with no noticeable loss of quality.

Advice to build an all in one blu-ray ripping and storing (for jellyfin) machine.
Ok. It was actually software as well: https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
I really like ARM (automatic ripping machine)
https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-rippi...
Put a DVD/blu ray in a drive and it automatically determines the title, starts ripping, then pops the disc out when it's done.
There's options for post-ripping transcoding also.

Nolan Says Buy Oppenheimer on Blu-ray So No Evil Streaming Service Can Steal It
It's a pain to get set up initially, but the Automatic Ripping Machine[1] plus Jellyfin/Plex/etc[2] makes for a great combination.

Looking for experiences with Automatic Ripping Machine and a multi-DVD ripping build
I have a lot of DVDs that I would like to rip and then convert into mkv files. Many of these are small productions that aren't likely to be on "Linux ISO" trackers, so "just download them instead!" is not a valid option. I just recently came across posts like this one and this one and even this one here on DataHoarder (which sadly didn't get any responses) and this one from this past week about this awesome GitHub project called Automatic Ripping Machine that is based on this original post from 2016, but I'm happy to see that it has been getting updates even within the last few weeks.

Help dumping audio CDs?
To lump on to abcde, its used to great effect within ARM.

Backuping contents of old optical discs
These are just one more suggestion to use ARM mentioned by another user (https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine) but maybe you'll read something interesting there too.

Have you made a bash script that improved your life in some way? My examples
I did the same thing for my camera, but did do the automation on insertion. I copied the methods used in Automatic Ripping Machine but modified it for my use-case. On insert it mounts the disk, then runs a script to look at it. If it matches the structure made by my camera, it then copies over the files, renames them based on exif data, and then wipes the disk. I don't verify hashes after copy since it more than doubles the time per disk.
