That doesn’t many any sense, because I just specifically told you that it doesn’t matter to anyone but you whether or not you use Jellyfin… If it mattered to me, then yeah, sure. I’d be a zealot. But I don’t give a shit what you personally use.

Also, pointing out the fact that Jellyfin is pretty indisputably better for people in this specific space isn’t zealotry. It’s just good common sense.

Mmmmm gross.

I’ll leave you with this, though. Shit like this is all goalposts. For now it’s just “their” content and not yours. But in 12 months it’s gonna be all content. And what excuse will you make for them, then?

Not sure if you understand this or not, but you using, or not using jellyfin doesn’t affect anyone but you. 🤷‍♂️

If you don’t wanna use it, then don’t use it. You’re still wrong, but that’s up to you lil buddy.

And that makes a difference to you?

Seeing the replies in this thread it kinda makes me wonder what Plex actually has to do for these zealots to quit using their platform.

Like do they literally have to steal naked pictures of you and pass them around the office? Like wtf.

Chromecast. Regular is cheap, and grab the 4K one if you wanna stream higher quality movies. Cost you less than $100.

You can set it up as a service to monitor a remote directory. I have it running using nssm on windows on my seedbox. I’ll torrent something, give it a while and boom, it’s on my NAS without doing anything.

Same concept here. So yeah, set it once, and forget about it.

rclone.

DS223 is a fine little machine. Nothing exceptional, but not bad by any means.

Excited to see ladybird get more mature. Can’t wait to see how well development goes over the next 2 years or so.

How reliable are the infos from iknowwhatyoudownloaded.com?

100% accurate. Either you, or someone who has/has had your IP (CGNAT) has downloaded those torrents in one way or another.

That sucks, I immediately wanted it. :(

generally is less hands-on for transcoding.

Yeah, I’m not gonna give you that one. It’s a single option that you toggle. Wanna use your nvidia GPU? Enable NVENC. AMD gpu/cpu? AMF. Intel CPU? QSV.

Really not that hard…

Because why run one server for all your needs when you can double up, right? /s

but always struggled with getting it to show which device was making the call

This depends on how you have your devices setup to use your DNS. For e.g, in my home I have my Phone and PC setup to use the IP of my AdGuard server. In AdGuard, I have them as named devices. All other devices on my network use the router as DNS, so all other requests that are not coming from my PC or Phone indicate “router” as the name.

What’s your use case look like?

Home based server running AdGuard forwarded through a caddy reverse_proxy to a domain. Using DoH/3 so even when remote I use my own DNS. Works great.

Still using spaceship. lmao.

I try to explain this to the plex cultists and they usually have one of two responses;

1. “Why would I be without internet?”
2. “How is that helpful?”

Takes every ounce of willpower I have to not eye roll.

I would say there’s no value in assigning such a tight definition on self-hosting–in saying that you must use your own hardware and have it on premise.

I would define selfhost as setting up software/hardware to work for you, when turn-key solutions exist because of one reason or another.

Netflix exists. But we selfhost Jellyfin. Doesn’t matter if its not on our hardware or not. What matters is that we’re not using Netflix.

Escaping vendor lock-in. It’s why people hate the cloud when it used to be the answer for everything. You make a good product that can only be used with your hardware/software, whatever, and people run from that shit because it’s abused more often than not.

Apple is the biggest example of this. Synology is getting worse and worse. Plex not far behind either.
