Currently, everything is setup on my main desktop which is currently on a battery backup as well as my modem and router since we occasionally have a “blink” in the power which could frack up my entire setup. I’ll move to a proper NAS setup with a mini-PC eventually, but it’s not a priority.

I use Jellyfin as a whole “Netflix” experience, where the library is always expanding and nothing ever leaves the library unless I just get annoyed (looking at you, Netflix ATLA). I’ve got about 20TB of space spread across three drives and backups of everything, so whatever sparks my whimsy to add to the library gets added. Someone quips, “Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica” and I think, “Hm…maybe I should Battlestar Galactica to my Jellyfin?” I add it, and it’s just there whenever I’m ready.

I’ve shared with 8 friends and family so far. They don’t all use it constantly; some forget about it, some watch it all day and night for like 5 days in a row, some ask for something and watch immediately, others ask for stuff and don’t watch ever.

I have to add that Jellyfin has actually been life-changing for me. Prior to Jellyfin, my solution was a cheap laptop attached to each TV in the house that held a fair amount of my total content via smaller external drives, and there was no cohesiveness, so I could never “get into” shows because I’d have to remember where I’d left off, and make sure the files were copied to the relative laptop, or somehow try to stream from the main desktop through Windows Network which didn’t always connect.

Now, have access to every single part of my collection on all three TVs, and share with my friends and family who have given up on paying for 7 different streaming apps, and also I have access to everything when I travel.

I just wish that I was adept in some language so I could actively help with a project I love so much. ☺️

This was my biggest issue. I live in a townhouse with a carport-ish thingy, but the same issue applies.

How does this app work given the API costs? How does it manage to not deliver ads?

I ask because, while I’ve currently embargoed myself from Reddit, I’d like to have some details noted so I don’t fall in love with this and then get hurt again.

Time to recall “Recall”. And fix Windows 11 and repackage as W12 while they’re at it.

Just fold yourself into a L shape. Like one of those Tetris pieces.

This reminds me…I probably should do a full backup of my server sometime soon.

I don’t think they’ll extend it, but I’m predicting that there will be some massive bug or security issue found in Windows 10 after its support has ended, and Microsoft will be forced to create an update for it since Windows 10 will retain such high market share.

Not sure why so many companies are so focused on making a miserable user experience these days. I know it’s mainly about appeasing shareholders, but it feels like there should be a few more long-sighted people in the mix who can see this backfire in the end.

I don’t think I understand your original question then.

If you want your jellyfin on your own domain like Oliper202020.com, that requires owning a domain which requires registration which incurs a cost.

If you don’t want to pay for something, just use a DNS service to redirect through their domain instead.

Yeah you create the subdomain and use their domain. It’s a free DNS service that prevents you from having to buy your own domain and host and setup all the DNS security yourself.

Have you thought about using DuckDNS.org?

I run mine through them (it’s free) because I couldn’t work through using my own hosting since my host makes things super complicated.

Yeah, but I’ve been using the Jellyfin app on the Roku for my older “dumb” TVs, so I’m just fracked at this point.

That said, the webOS Jellyfin app is finally available for all webOS TVs, so at least I can go straight to JF on one TV.

Sounds like we need to start developing ad-blockers based directly within the OS.

Too bad they didn’t have this attitude before cutting 1900 jobs, most of them Blizzard employees and making the cut after promising not to make massive cuts.

I talked to Him the other day. He’s cool with it.

Evernote is “dead”.

Try Joplin if you haven’t already. !joplinapp@sopuli.xyz

It is similar to Evernote and you can set up the sync on another service like Dropbox or even your self-hosted solution. You can also pay them a few bucks a month for their hosting services.

Joplin has a good iOS app as well as apps for nearly all other platforms. I migrated from Evernote to Joplin after Evernote practically doubled their prices and then switched their free option down to a single notebook and could not be happier.

Yep. I figured this is what had happened and it definitely worked on me. 🙃

Right now the best option still seems to buy a Roku TV and never connect it to the internet.

No, your best option is to buy any other TV than a Roku TV, and not connect that TV to the internet.

I spent ungodly amount of hours in this game as a kid.

Ever play through all of the first World using a DDR mat?? Because that’s the only way to know you’ve mastered the game! 😅

DS9 is the proper choice.

Gotta follow that Reddit formula… 🤦‍♀️
