I’ve had Jellyfin and Plex running using the same media directory for a couple years now. I think I had to make a couple small changes for things like seasons of a TV show to show up correctly, but nothing incredibly difficult. Definitely worth setting up and playing with periodically so when you do finally get sick of Plex, you’re ready to just switch.

Only thing I use Plex for exclusively now is when I’m flying, Plex has the Netflix style download option and Jellyfin just downloads the video file. I like Plex’s way better just from personal preference.

Heard it myself today: “Ukraine started the war.” “If they’d be willing to compromise just a bit, they’d have peace.”

Stopped buying books from Amazon years ago. Still had 120 there from previous purchases. Definitely couldn’t just re-buy the books elsewhere.

This tool got the last of my library moved from Amazon so I DON’T have to buy from them again.

So the problem with thin margins on the hardware side is what’s stopping a user from just installing their own OS once they figure out they can do the same thing you’re doing on the same hardware?

Yeah, my first thought was it was missing the dude whose dick cost him a medal.

I guarantee you half the people are here and got started self-hosting BECAUSE they wanted to start pirating.

Relax guys. It’s a Nintendo Switch, those things never get hacked.

As others here have mentioned, Tdarr can handle a lot of it automatically

Where do you get a 12 tb drive for $100?

Lock Picking Lawyer has a great backlog of April 1st dick jokes.

Living in the Midwest, I’ve never really dealt with a major power outage we didn’t expect. Power company will send out a (very rare) notice if they are doing anything that might bring down power and usually if a thunderstorm starts to get rough, we shut down anything important so power flicker/surges don’t hurt it.

The big key is your hardware needs to support it. Back when “unified SSIDs” became a thing, some older 802.11n (WiFi 4) and ac (WiFi 5) devices could do it, but it was…. Weird.

If you have a newer router, especially WiFi 6 or 802.11ax it should be be to do the unified SSID.

You know how routing works, but not wireless networks apparently.

Mainstream NASs (like Synology and QNAP) are very good at what they’re built for, which is be available on the network and have plenty of storage.

They CAN do more, but then you start to notice the limitations. It is still “just a NAS.” It’s not called a NASAHVAVMM (Network Attached Storage and Hypervisor and VM Manager)

If you want to do what you described, a smaller NAS would probably be good for backups, but look into a fully fledged, capable server too.

Have you looked up raspberry pi magic mirror projects?

You don’t have to use a a mirror, but just a pi and an old monitor mounted on the wall would probably accomplish everything you need.

It’s some kind dumbass idea that AI won’t be trained with the comment now. Because you know, billion dollar companies ALWAYS follow the rules.

Wouldn’t “schools and their kitchens/cafeterias existing” count as existing programs and infrastructure?

I still randomly see myssid 4 (or some other random number) on Windows 11 with no explanation.

They also pissed off a bunch of the people they were hoping to market toward by just leaving Dylan out on their own after the fact.

It sucks that, in this situation there are sides, but “picking a side” in the debate, realizing you made people mad and responding by sticking your head in the sand is a great way to piss off everyone that cares. Either they really don’t care and did it as a marketing stunt or they did care until it affected their money. Either way, they showed just how soulless AB is.
