⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨While EA shuts down BioWare, developers of The Sims, Skate, and Battlefield say they've also lost their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I played a lot of Sims 2 on PS2 as a kid, and I remember playing sims 3 for a bit.

I never played the expansions, and some of those might’ve had some neat new ideas, but the base game was basically the same thing with higher poly/res models and textures.

By Sims 4 I think people would’ve been pleasantly surprised if that’s what they had received instead of the excuse for micro transactions it seems to be outside looking in.

Been thinking of throwing together a set top box with everything made up for my grandfather so he can stream stuff from my jellyfin setup.

I just need to find an ezpz enough to use frontend.

Just throw a wireguard tunnel on your router and call it a day.

HD/4K video streams eat bandwidth like a motherfucker. Gonna have to find some rich hobbiests for that.

I guess someone could start a nonprofit but you’re more likely to do that for the developers themselves first.

Wouldn’t that count as a VPN, albeit one run on someone else’s machine?

No I understand the benefits of open source software but this isn’t just a feature you can code in. Without portfords to the server, a VPN, or a reverse proxy, jellyfin would have to start hosting a service.

Is it technically feasible? I guess but seems like its both out of scope and not in the interest of the developers since the last thing they want probably want to get caught in is hosting streaming relays for everyone free of charge.

I prefer a VPN for this sorta thing because its a bit more hardened.

Nginx is a good reverse proxy for my publicly available hosts.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Oh yeah no you can rent out a vps and use it as a VPN/router appliance. I’ve done that before for other project, just figured it seemed a lil overkill here.

People are saying switch to jellyfin, which I’m all for. But you’re expecting a service which will make remote access easy like Plex ur kinda fucked.

I mean if have to set up wireguard or whatever for Jellyfin you could just do the same for Plex?

Again go to jellyfin either way, proprietary software can suck my gurl cawk, but either way you need a VPN or open ports.
