So basically if I slap emby on an open port, and point my domain to my IP, it’ll work just the same. Connect is just for people without static IP addresses?
- Comment on What’s the longest time you went without upgrading your pc? 5 days ago:
My case is from 2009, which contrary to popular belief, is actually 17 years ago.
CPU is a 5600x from 2020, 6 years ago. It replaced a 2600 from 2018, which is now the core of my home server. Before that it was an Intel i7 of some sort my buddy bought me on Craigslist because the Core 2 Quad I was running couldn’t keep up with the “new” GPU I put in it, a 970. Before the quad I had a Core 2 Duo, which was already 3 years old when I first built the system.
It’s like the PC of Theseus. I really should get a new case eventually. But.. Why?

Doesn’t emby have some kind of “connect” feature? I wish jf would do something like that
- Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years 1 week ago:
Wait, does emby do remote access similar to Plex? And without VPN like JF? That’s literally the only thing keeping me on Plex.
- Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years 1 week ago:
Most people are not gonna go that route unfortunately. I want to love JF, but the remote access is a big sticking point, especially for non tech relatives.
It bugs me when people just say tailscale like that solves it all. It’s very useful and solves a lot of problems, but not all. Unfortunately.
- Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years 1 week ago:
Doesn’t that mean your jellyfin server is directly exposed to the Internet? The very thing everyone constantly warns against?
I’m still on Plex, one of my biggest hangups with JF is that the remote access is kludgy
- Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years 1 week ago:
Not for all clients, like Roku for example.
Yes the solution is different hardware, like a Google TV, older firestick, raspAP, or flash openwrt on a router. But that’s no longer plug and play and may have other caveats. Besides costing money.
No shade, it’s just not QUITE that simple every time.

Non-plant guy here. Is that upward browning effect universal to most houseplants? If so that is a very cool fact

It’s sad that it’s dead already. But the world is much larger than the US, it only makes sense to start it at UTC April 1st, in my opinion

What does eta stand for in this context? I’ve seen it before and can’t figure it out

Passthrough is smart if doing local, hadn’t thought of that.
