  I totally get the subscription fatigue, that’s one of the main reasons I got a Plex pass whenever you could get the lifetime passes on Black Friday for a pretty decent discount. Now that all that seems to be changing I am more and more getting in the habit of paying a little bit of money annually to have more control over the things that I use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s reasonable. I’ve had pretty good experience with infuse over the years and I don’t mind paying for it. If I’m constantly using it, I feel like devs oughta get something out of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but I need something that kids/spouse are comfortable with that can also have pretty strict content and purchase restrictions. Android still doesn’t fit that bill either. Ideally I would run something on an htpc with custom interface for all that but will a full time job that frequently has been taking me out of state and 2 hours of commute daily, $100 is a drop in the bucket for something that I don’t have to worry about my family breaking. I don’t have the time to do things that I want anymore and the Apple TV hits the simplicity/control intersection.

  I use infuse for the Apple TV. You can add the jellyfin source and I believe it syncs watch progress. It can’t do prerolls, but it have intro and credits skipping.

  I second this. I would use an epic account like a burner account and just get all those free giveaways. Heroic works for the Amazon prime games as well. I played a little bit of trek to Yomi the other day because I had a friend mentioned it was free on epic and I didn’t even realize I already had it.

  Knowing the usefulness that we’ve gotten at our house out of having them, I would probably say if I didn’t have the PS5 I would get a steam deck at this point. A refurbished one from valve when they’re on sale would be my pick. Plus, it works on my 20 year catalog of games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll give my recommendation to local LLMs as well. I have a 1060 super that I bought years ago in 2019 and it’s just big enough to do some very basic auto completion within visual studio. I love it. I wouldn’t trust it to write an entire program on its own, but when I have hit a mental block and need a rough estimate of how to use a library or how I can arrange some code, it gives me enough inspiration to get through that hump.

  My joystick broke on my Ultimate controller. It could have been my fault or it could’ve been when I was traveling for work or the two year-old. Either way, I managed to take the front cover off and look at the joysticks and order a new set from AliExpress. Less than four dollars later and 20 minutes of work it was all fixed up. It wasn’t due to contacting customer support, but replacement parts were readily available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I securely host Jellyfin? (Part 2)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing that I do, though it may not be as secure as a reverse proxy is just using tailscale funnel to expose my jellyfin instance.

  I’d like to learn a self-hosted SSO but time is my least abundant resource at the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have the quantitative metrics, but I will say that I had the flu last year and I just laid on the couch with my steam deck and streamed cyberpunk using Moonlight. The latency was imperceptible to my flu brain, and it was a much better experience than playing for an hour at a much lower quality natively on the deck. I have a friend who also streams his desktop to his Apple TV (hardwired desktop, wireless Apple TV) and he beat metal gear solid V like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m doing a very similar thing with ann old Dell thin client. I did inherit a large server from a company that was upgrading, but I’ve been thinking about downsizing a lot lately so now I use a few small computers on a 10 inch rack.

  the best server is one that you already have

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is everyone using as a HTPC?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Roku TV has been unbearable lately. There’s a whole row of ads before I even get to the physical inputs on the TV. Plus there is a full height ad on the right and a half height ad on the left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is everyone using as a HTPC?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they mean no ads in the UI. There are still ads in the YouTube app since Google needs that revenue. Ads don’t take up approximately 50% of the home screen though like they do on a Roku TV.
