Take control of your content. On this week’s Freedom Tech Weekend, we explore open source media servers you can run from home to stream music, movies, photos, and personal videos to your devices—anywhere in the world. Say goodbye to Netflix, Spotify, or Amazon Photos and hello to your self-hosted, private media cloud.

We'll look at privacy-preserving platforms like Jellyfin, Emby, Ampache, Subsonic, and Navidrome, as well as legacy players like Kodi and Plex. Whether you're backing up old DVDs or building your own Spotify alternative, this guide shows you how to start simple with an old laptop and grow from there.

👉 Protect your privacy with tools you control.

👉 Play around this weekend, reclaim your data, and stream your stuff—your way.
