icloud relay doesn't affect this because it shuts off when my VPN activates and when at home, icloud relay doesnt affect local LAN IP addresses anyway.
AppleTV and MacBook are on Ethernet. Iphone is failing on both WiFi and cellular using WireGuard to VPN into the local network. The logs say the login attempts are actually successful.
Android gets all the cool hardware but the software and play store is dogshit. Apple has a better store and good software but not INTERESTING hardware. It’s stale and dead.
Jellyfin is HEAVY when doing trickplay scans. But outside of that, it’s really not that demanding. I’m running on an N100 right now but I’ve run it fine on stuff as weak as a rk3399.
Open source is certainly in a great position now but there are some things it’s just not doing that I’m frankly too dumb to do myself. For example, there’s no open source answer to appleTV. The closest thing we have is androidTV and it’s just awful.
I would love to see a TV-centric desktop environment you could run on top of any typical Linux distro. Something implementing live tiles like old windows phone had, a web app that you could access with a smartphone and use to control it like a remote, single-task interface rather than a task-juggling interface we have on normal DEs, sigh. I have a vision I cannot possibly create because that would take incredible skill that I just don’t have to make and I can’t just whine that nobody is making it for me.
Meanwhile, all my Apple stuff works together in a way I generally approve of.
I need to transition away from this at some point but there aren’t always open source solutions for this.
Skip the NAS. They all suck. Roll your own server out of literally anything. Install jellyfin. Enjoy
