I currently don’t have a spare device or whatever is needed to set up a server, but definitely agree with your point. Best I can do right now is having my shows/movies stored on a 1TB drive that’s almost full and a 2TB drive I have yet to touch, which just works for me.

Your jellyfin server can just be your computer, it just needs to be running when you want to watch the content.
My desktop hasn’t been shut down other than for quick system updates (and it’s Linux so I do mean QUICK) in several months.
