  • Don't have to make an account, for starters. Gives you more detailed control of transcoding options, audio playback and whatnot.

    The UI is worse, that much is true, but that's not the end all be all of user experience.

  • I don't think transcoding is that difficult if you've already set up your own server. Like, that's only a thing the admin would have to figure out and it's a quick lookup.

    I do agree with the client UI issue tho, and would like to add that the lack of a per-user watchlist is a pretty baffling decision given that it's been widely requested for years and years and it would make it enormously more comfortable.

  • Huge disagree on the last part. Jellyfin has a bunch of Android, Roku, Google tv and PC clients. I struggle to think of a device me or my friends use that has a Plex client but not a Jellyfin one.

  • It depends on whether you want to use torrents or have a usenet subscription. You'd do well to look at TRaSH guides, save yourself a lot of headaches if you structure the container's directory structures in the way the guides suggest and then you can just use Prowlarr to manage the actual download requests and send them to your torrent or usenet client.

    I use Jellyfin and I suggest you do the same, but honestly you could use whatever you feel like, the *arr stack is going to put everything in the proper folder structure and naming convention so by and large your media server app should be pretty plug and play, just point it at the proper folder and get to scanning.

  • Yes, but line goes up, and by the time it goes down I'm not gonna be holding the bag anyway

  • And if it breaks at 10 months and they take another 2 to send your replacement back, well, they no longer need to send one that actually works this time either

  • Thankfully I have a pretty low wattage setup and an unmetered full duplex fiber optic connection. Won't disagree on the hardware (all my homies hate Seagate) and maintenance. I don't do a lot, but it sure can derail half my day.

  • Idk, I'd have a pretty good return if I my mom didn't want to use Netflix still. Even after paying for indexers, Usenet providers, storage and electricity. I'm using a discarded laptop with a HDD dock tho, which is plenty for my needs (mostly 1080p movies with 4k for my absolute favorites or new releases which I can then downgrade or delete though I haven't had the need to do so yet)

  • I think KDE Neon would be nice for a new user. I like Pop OS and it's really cute and sleek but the shortcuts are needlessly different from windows a bunch of times, if she's somehow used to alt+tab to change windows and not just window groups she's gonna have a hard time learning another way to do it.

  • Lmao. Just straight up rich people worship up in here.

  • The red cross fucking sucks too

  • Sure, whereupon the CEO alone can receive an 8 figure compensation package. That is not at all an issue to the viability of a non-profit.

  • Fr, that was my daily driver for a while back in the day

  • The fact that he can do all of this and face zero opposition within government and didn't even get punished once he was out of office (despite popular demand) kind of proves you didn't have a democracy to begin with.

    Where was democracy when Bush's brother stole the election for him?

  • And Gandhi didn't do jack shit.

    Only once violent resistance had forced the Brits away they went "oh by the way it was totally the guy who would have laid down in the street to be flattened by our tanks, in case anyone else wants to try it"

  • They need to fear more, clearly.

    Y'all tried tens of thousands of protests but are giving up at one CEO? That's a shitty sample size.

  • Well that's settled then, politicians would never lie to provide cover for companies. Nothing else that happened that week could have explained it, the government has done this so often (without even announcing it to the people they want votes from) that this is for sure the only explanation.

  • It wasn't just that. There was prior evidence because he made one appearance every two months under very controlled circumstances and even then he looked lost as shit, confused, wandering, and whenever he talked into a mic you only got thirty seconds of sense out of him before he'd ramble about nonsense.

  • They wouldn't have done a primary anyway because they knew Kamala (their chosen corporate candidate) would have gotten absolutely wrecked. She didn't get a single delegate in the 2020 primaries.
