I have an ~80GB movie that I can watch on a TV that can’t even handle the data rate for that file, nevermind the codecs.

But if the couple minutes to click “this client can’t handle anything over 60Mbps x264” is too much work, then by all means keep paying for Plex. Or “hypothetically” find a smaller copy of that movie.

I’m always amazed by the number of people who absolutely can’t leave Plex because they’ve got 14 grandparents streaming 8k rips all day every day.

“and now here’s Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People.”

What kinds of issues? I put an Intel Arc in my server and it’s working fine AFAICT.

What a weird comment.

Jyek is under no obligation to recommend your preferred solution.

Headscale doesn’t though and I’d be willing to bet the self hosted jellyfin types are more likely to also be using headscale than tailscale.

That was before the streaming services or most of the current VPN recommendations existed and Myth was mainly competing with TiVo. So, you could set up a front end remotely, but it would have been painful.

They’ve always done metadata collection though. What Plex added was the connection so you don’t need to set up a VPN for remote access.

They also made the decision to ditch in house delivery drivers and use doordash in the first place.

I was using MythTV long before Plex came around.

Autofs might do what you’re looking for. How often do you have power outages that it’s a major concern?

I used to work for a (fully remote) company that would give $20 in UberEATS credits if you had a lunchtime meeting. I’d always get like a $10 fried chicken lunch and still pay a couple bucks out of pocket because of all the fees. And the food showed up cold about two hours later.

I seriously don’t understand how anyone thinks it’s a service worth using.

She asked “Whys it so small? It didn’t used to be so small…”

I think you mean “where’s the beef?”

$$$

I have one I use for a luks partition. Mostly just to see if I could. It was pretty easy to set up.

And that’s not describing the guy who’s been promising fully autonomous cars for the last decade?

It died for me the day they got rid of .compact

I assume it’s autocorrect, but I legitimately have no idea what they intended to put.

Fiddle with birthday?

That sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for for a while. Thank you!

Companies that used them to supply credit cards to employees?

600k seems like an awful lot. Where is that estimate coming from?
