Well, I can tell you how Jellyfin differs from a directory full of files, but I can’t help you with understanding that other people have different preferences and desires than you which are neither “conditions” nor “addictions.”

You’ll have to make it to that one on your own.

You are imagining how to use a computer filled with video files.

Now imagine having your own personal netflix available on a variety of devices, using just that one computer full of video files.

Emby

Jellyfin exists because Emby was only open source until it wasn’t convenient. Some of their own devs pointed out they were violating the license, and their response was… non-ideal.

So Jellyfin was forked with the last fully open-source Emby code.

At least that’s my recollection several years down the line.

I decided then that no amount of headache from Jellyfin (and let me say that I was an EARLY jellyfin adopter AND former Plex user) would be enough to get me to use Emby. (Because things like that are important to me, though I realize they aren’t important to everyone.)

And reading this thread I’m apparently a super-genius because I have my Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and serve it to my elderly parents with a simple login and an app they were able to install, and never found it to be a headache. (Which, if I’d read this thread only, I’d conclude was just not possible without voodoo magic)

No headaches along the way, and whereas Plex had already begun the march to enshittification when I left, Jellyfin has done nothing but steadily get better.

Anyhow, longer answer than intended, but I’d go back to Plex before I’d go to Emby, just on principle.

Odd, since my Jellyfin sits behind a reverse proxy.

Oh there is no worse shift. I feel you.

Such my fucking mood right now. Last half of the last day of the holiday weekend was ass, and sleep was absolute ass, as if the world conspired to ensure I could not be allowed to start the week with a good night’s rest.

As a result, after several interruptions, have been awake since long before my alarm went off, and just sitting here with a black cloud over my head. In precious few minutes, the weekly grind will begin.

I didn’t either.

A little google led me to this article. The bit above is within that article, but I can’t be bothered to give a shit about anything windows related enough to read all that.

Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds. I’m sure MPD is the only department like this, and you couldn’t compile similar results from an identical evaluation of countless other departments. I’m certain of it.

This specific statement was clearly a troll.

I have NO expectation that they have or will “leak anything of substance.”

“Intensive policing”

I’m not sure I agree with your original assertion nor your conclusion, but it’s a fair argument! Intensive policing as the defense for this graph seems like a bit of a euphemism to me.

You might be correct but you are clearly in an area of expertise that is beyond mine, so I’m going to let the other folks arguing about it argue about it. 🙂

OK. Are both lines calculated with that same metric? If so it’s still apples to apples.

The legend states what you have pointed out. (no it doesn’t I misremembered, my bad) BUT STILL, maybe an editor thought the headline was too long?

Justice Department moves to cancel police reform settlements reached with Minneapolis and Louisville

Protests about police brutality are met with wave of police brutality across US

Minnesota Department of Human Rights report on MPD. (Conducted after the George Floyd event) I suggest spending some time on page 38.

Also:

Taxpayers pay police --> Police Shoot Taxpayers --> Police Pay Settlement With Money from Taxpayers --> Taxpayers pay police --> …

The consensus answer will be relevant to my interests.

That’s part of “techie reasons” for me. 😁

Well, after years and years and years and years of hating Microsoft for techie reasons, then privacy/“telemetry” reasons, and removing them in all ways from my life wherever possible, now I can hate them for being morally bankrupt in other ways.

On the plus side, they continue to validate my nearly twenty years of touching their software only when paid to do so.

And you have to worry about the cops shooting the good Samaritan when the show up. Possibly by accident even.
