That’s why I’m running both. I use jellyfin, everyone else uses Plex 🤣

Presently “continue watching” is gone for me in android. I can’t seem to avoid all these stupid “recommendations”, and lately I find I’ve been using jellyfin more and more. I have run them in tandem for years.

Definitely. Those folks for me are definitely using regular Plex to access my server.

Instead of plexpass you could do always on VPN with wire guard.

It still is self hosting, if you don’t count media scraping as cheating.

You don’t need plexpass. In fact, I really should start installing the free version again because I use an always on vpn now instead of relying on their proxies. But at that point I’d just use jellyfin instead.

I guess its just us in here then, among these AI bots.

Ya same. Has left over credits which you lose if you cancel, didn’t know what I want, only let you pause in hopes you forget and they bill you. It’s a shady business practice

This is what I’m doing and all my friends and fam who like the books have accounts and it works very well. Direct replacement for audible.

I used to manually set it up in freebsd jails. Then I moved to docker. Always seems to be a disconnect between PHP and apache configs with next cloud. Every time I update it, it reaches PHP timeouts and I need to do it from cli. Every time I update it the admin dashboard bitches about insecure configs which I then correct and then it happens again the next update.

And it will glitch and break on updates etc. Next cloud requires a lot of maintenance, at least not always has for me.

I think this is the one I use, reactle - a clone of the OG wordle before nyt bought them:

I have it as a docker on TrueNAS.

Now this is a good idea.

Reverse DNS? Or vuln scans just hitting IPs. Don’t need DNS for that.

I sync to TrueNAS scale with photosync and then I sync scale with back blaze b2

Sun thing for me was absolutely terrible. If I recall correctly, huge pain in the ass because I vlan off my wifi and had to mess with policies for discovery. I found the app would often freeze and lock up, glitch, etc. And this was on two different phones.

I thought with this for years. It’s unreliable and buggy on Android and iPhone. I caved and paid for some photo sync app and it’s been super stable.

That or folder sync on Android. Then feed into immich or photosphere.

I spent many nights running diff and comparing sources and destinations and md5sums and so on

Agree, but this is why I do both. Sometimes I listen to my local stuff and having a great time because it’s more refined

I didn’t read your entire post (sorry it was long 😅) but have you heard of lorawan? It’s a low powered long distance mesh network technology. I believe that’s what the helium project uses.

Never. Same with GPUs. AI destroyed jobs, the gaming market, and customer service

Yup. Bs headline.
