I mean, I guess I’m not informed enough to know. I just know that this one has a GUI, and certain automation functions. I got it all set up and now I don’t even have to think about it, it just downloads my desired YT vids, which then get scanned by Jellyfin and show up there, which is what OP wanted. 🤷

Note about the network: it really doesn’t matter how fast your server can go if the rest of the stuff connected to it can’t also handle it.
You have a server with a 10 gigabit network port, you also need the cabling, router, switches, and other hardware that can handle 10 gigabit.
How do you know Lemmchen is interested in Steam?
Game changer is a great way to phrase it. It’s no exaggeration to say it changed my partner and my lives. It gave us the confidence to save for and buy a house. I’ve never felt more in control of my finances before.
Or secure, often.
I hate genAI, but this is dangerous. I’m a writer and I’ve had my stuff accused of being genAI when it’s not. And there was an incident several years ago on a prominent art subreddit where an artist was banned for posting AI art, and when the artist proved it wasn’t by sending layer files, the mod upheld the ban and told the artist they should change styles because it “looked” like genAI. It’s not a great feeling.
TOS get rewritten way more often than once every ten to twenty years lol, that it really not a big deal.
I may be mistaken, but I had looked into Paperless before and saw they had AI features before this. Is it just more, or more in your face? I was under the impression they were optional, at least when I looked into it.
Can I have it download videos discriminately? For example, exclude live streams, ignore videos under 2 minutes, only download videos from 2025, only download videos uploaded on Mon-Fri? Furthermore could I have it download one playlist from a channel in 1080p, and a separate playlist from a channel in 720p?
The one I’m talking about runs in Docker and will auto download from a channel or playlist based on all kinds of rules and filters you set up. I use it up scrape favourite channels automatically every other day. Downloads them into a folder monitored by Jellyfin.

Only using Mealie as a recipe manager at the moment. Haven’t used the meal planner function. Sounds interesting though and might give it a try.
I prefer a GUI when possible.
When I was starting out with selfhosting and stuff, I had tons of issues with networking, reverse proxies, etc. And much of the advice here was not… particularly helpful. I genuinely don’t think most people here understand how much they know, and how much comes across as gibberish when they speak to a true newbie. I still see it in this forum all the time for new people. Just the other day someone described themselves as a total newbie, nothing more than Jellyfin running on a Mac locally, and a comment I saw suggested their next step should be running proxmox and setting up VMs and this that and the other service. Like… that’s not a good next step.
My partner and I quite like Mealie. It doesn’t import 100% perfectly like you say, but it does probably 90% of the work.

Understatement much?
Really neat of you to do and to share, thanks. Not to sound ungrateful, but honest question… What good are these numbers if they are the floor?
Edited to add: filthy clanker.
