  • Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years

    Jump

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    My fiber install this year came with one, this time I refused to let them install it.

  • The texture is definitely a concern, and still gets me a bit occasionally. But the flavor is quite good, so I deal with the texture

  • Good on you for trying haha. It's ok to hate things 🤷‍♂️

  • Notice it was on my list of things I USED to hate. Now I'll put raw tomatoes on my burger if I'm in the mood. And big chunky stewed tomatoes are good in chili or goulash. I like them in many pasta dishes, even on a margarita pizza.

    I'm still not down with eating them straight, though. We're planting a small raised garden this year, maybe I'll like them fresh 😁

  • Mushrooms, raw tomatoes, onions, peppers, spicy stuff, bleu cheese, wine that isn't syrup sweet, probably more stuff I can't think of at the moment.

    What made me change? Me. I forced myself to try these things occasionally, over time. Over years.

    My feeling is that while it's ok to not like things, it's dumb to not expand your horizons, or at least try to.

    One of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm showing somebody something new, and they THINK they'll hate it, so they scrunch their face before they even try it. They've already decided they hate it, whether they realize it or not. Either they struggle to open their mind, or they subconsciously try to defend their initial statements that they don't think it's good, to save face? IDK. Drives me batty.

    Again, it's fine to not like it. Whatever, I hate lots of stuff. But every so often, I try it again. And I mean REALLY try it. I force myself to imagine what it would taste like if I liked it. I look for the good qualities in whatever it is. If I still don't like it? Ok, maybe another time.

    I admit to still not liking raw onion on my burger. And I only tolerate it on my pizza. But many other dishes wouldn't taste good WITHOUT onion, in my current opinion. So it's still progress.

  • You'll hurt your eyes!

    Jump

  • Isn't there something about your eyes focusing further away stereoscopically, but individually they are focusing closer? Like a single lense doing a macro focus on an up close image, rather than two cameras adjusting their angle to make their images line up for an object far away.

    There's a word for this but I can't think of it right now.

    Anywho, I thought focusing up close was still bad for your eyes in the long term?

  • Thanks, I'm aware, but it's quite overwhelming usually. Also this is for hardware that supports openwrt directly, I'm asking about APs that don't require external accounts to configure

  • Oh I didn't know that. That makes sense.

    Hmmm..

    If Wi-Fi 7 isn't compatible with wpa2, then it's hard to have any kind of mixed network supporting legacy clients without a separate SSID. For anyone.

    That's kind of unfortunate, but I guess it's the cost of progress.

    You can mix Wi-Fi 6 and 7 though, correct? So theoretically I could catch most of my somewhat modern clients that way.

    I should take stock of all my modern clients.

  • Thanks!

    That's definitely unfortunate.

    If it helps, I'm in a suburb with fairly close neighbors. 2.4 is packed, so I was pretty much planning on giving it up as far as any "performance" clients are concerned. I was thinking of having only one 2.4 radio for the whole house, for legacy and iot devices.

    It's not a huge house, I was thinking I could get away with 2, maybe 3 APs on 5ghz, reducing power a smidge to reduce self interference, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Real world performance, testing with speedtest.net to a max of 500Mbps, shows 400+ Mbps on 5ghz in the basement, bedrooms and living room. With the weak zone being the kitchen at 200-300. Still plenty fast for what I need, though I won't turn down free performance, and that's without any of my own congestion.

    2.4 maxes out at 30Mbps in most locations, significantly less in others.

    That said, I'm really trying NOT to spend money upgrading my entire setup right now. I was hoping to drop $50-100 on one device to play with 6ghz. I've only got one client that can take advantage of it anyway. On the ubiquiti, can I just set the 5ghz radio to Wi-Fi 5? And the 6ghz to 7? I feel like that should work for now? 🤔

  • Just popping in to say it's insane that a 750k house is positioned as reasonable in this scenario. The housing market is truly insane.

    Before anyone else comments, I get it, the market varies depending on where you live. Around me, "reasonable houses", that being 2 ish bedrooms, 1 ish bath, are somewhere between 250k and 500k. But that's still disgusting. 10 or 15 years ago that would've been 60 to 150k, in my same area. I'm still kicking myself for not buying back then, not that I had the means, but I almost did. Now? Sheesh.

    The crazy part is, renting isn't even cheap!

    Rent in my area is around 1.5k per month for 2 bedroom 1 bath.. My rent has been lower than that thankfully, though climbing, but that's the going rate.

    With good credit, and 20k down, that could be a mortgage payment on an entire house twice the size. Still disgusting but at least then you're building equity of some sort.

    But who's got that when 25% of Americans have no savings at all, and only 50% can cover 3 months expenses in an emergency?

    Yet new housing is built all the time. Why? Because it's lucrative for those with gobs of money, holding all the housing.

    My landlord is no saint, but he has 2 buildings, 4 units each, with detached garages. They aren't premium, slightly dated, but they're miles better than slumlord stuff. Nice neighborhood too. I'd put my grandma in there. Yet he consistently keeps the rent at less than 60% of the local average.

    Honestly he SHOULD charge more. But I'm not telling him that. He does it because he can't stand the thought of gouging people to get rich. Though I'm sure he's still making plenty, as his new truck would indicate. But still.

    My neighbors complain about him, and one even left. Then begged to come back because other renters locally were more expensive, and less attentive. He let them back 🤷‍♂️
