Those streaming sites have dreadful image quality, sometimes even audio is fucked. They are useful to check bits of the first episode before you commit to download from a high quality source.
I mean, you do you, but anime is a much more pleasant experience if you download a decent encode.
I’m not even saying to download SubsPlease or Erai-Raws, just Judas, EMBER, ASW, Cloe, etc. Look pretty good and only take about 200 to 300 MB per episode.
I understand that you don’t want to torrent, but, you’re ruining your experience. Besides torrenting easier than what you’re trying to do.









Depending on how you define “self-hosting”, I may qualify at that.
I’ve hosted my email on a remote VPS myself. I have not hosted the machine in my apartment.
I used postfix + dovecot + mysql stack, I have to admit it was the hardest thing I’ve ever configured and I’ve hosted a lot of services in my life.
In the end I ended up switching to the free service that came with the domain became no matter what I did and how compliant I was to dkim and SMARC and tkip (I’m probably butchering the name here, it’s been a long time) outlook accounts kept sending my emails to spam, everything else worked fine, even gmail, but DAMN Microsoft and how much I hate that company managed to fuck over me one final time even after years after I switch to Linux. I tried everything even the form to remove my email from spam.
Tl;Dr hosted email on a vps but couldn’t get past outlook spam filters
