Yeah, I felt a little tingle when I read the “jab” at Mastodon, I don’t even use Mastodon lol.

So is there any more generic “social” apps beside microblogging like Bluesky? The other example there felt too niche to me, I don’t even know what I’m looking at.

Is there a Lemmy/Reddit adjacent thing there?

This is just silly, but I’ll chime in I guess.

I’m guessing you only ever deal with public trackers om the torrent sode of things.

Since I’m on private trackers (someone with usenet subs probably feel the same) the quality and moderation is far better than the streaming sites.

Also, I’m off the legit streaming sites like Netflix because I’m tired of them shoving things I do not care.

Setting it up the first time is a hassle but nowadays, I’ll just open up my Seer instance and that’s it. This inclide movies, shows, and anime. I don’t hoard.

I know it’s available cuz there will be a notification for it, most just a few hours after the broadcast at most.

I just open JF and watch it, idk what’s more convenient than that.

I don’t count since I do not care about stats. But my whole family use it. Shows/movie for my parents, k-drama/anime for me and sibling.

Whoa, didn’t know about redox os. Neat.

The preview on their site make it looks like it’s pretty usable for basic daily use (even has balatro). I’m gonna try it. Thanks !

I would argue it being cross-platform is magical.

There also copyparty. I don’t personally used it but their release video is fun AF.

It is.

I just go to the https://cloud.oracle.com/account-management/cost-analysis page and looks at the current usage every now and then.

What’s the mangadex thingamajig?

Do you also read on desktop? If so, how? Last time I check there’s Suyomi but never bother to set it up, but I want to read on desktop lol.

Yes it’s 10TB.

I nearly hit the cap once when I first testing sunshine/moonlight to see how much bandwidth my set up could do and kinda FOMO for the steam deck hype.

It’s like 150 mb/s and works so well (for the kind of games I play) that I forgot the egress cap and just play for like a weeks even in the house, I realized and stop at ~ 9TB. My usual usage don’t even hit a TB most of the time lol.

As you said, it’s ten bucks for a decade.

I’ve use mine for years with no issue, and if any it’s my fault not the domain.

Right ?! Networking is voodoo witchcraft.

I was bored and decided to actually read wtf the deal is with IPv6 since my ISP gave it but never bother to know more.

All my devices can reach the ipv6 internet without me touching it, so I thought at least I could learn how to replicate my pretty simple lab but with v6.

3 days later I still have no clue how to assign static addresses properly. What do you mean each device have multiple addresses?? Android (google) didn’t support dhcpv6? Wtf is SLAAC ?

The DHCPv6 on Android Soap Opera as they called it, pretty fun read.

Also the folks at IPv6 sub seem to be majority professional because they can actually parse the RFC spec and treated it like mandatory Ed. Pretty nice and welcoming comm all thing considered.

It’s a whole rabbit hole and I still don’t know if my IPv6 is good IPv6 or not, and with bottom of the barrel equipment looking for guide is a pain. IPv6 content in general is pretty sparse even within the self hosting comms.

The simplest would be renting a VPS I think.

I grabbed an Oracle free-tier many moons ago. The x86 one with 4 gig of memory I think? The arm have a much more core and memory but unless you go with Pay As You Go (PAYG) account ( need a one time refundable $100 credit) it’s virtually impossible to grab it.

My free tier account is sufficient as pure VPN for accessing stuff, you get 10 TB/month egress traffic. The downside is it’s Oracle, and you are at their mercy ( they can purge it without notice )

I never tried it because CGNAT but maybe Dynamic DNS could also solve this.

Other than that, Tailscale / CF tunnel etc are a fine solution ( for now )

Ente

I don’t own an e-reader but if I’m not mistaken, kavita has a KOReader plugin so it probably possible to use it with an e-reader, android reader has many more options I think.

I watch a bunch of weekly anime stuff myself. Never have to worry about transcoding with my devices (locally) and just directplay it. Unless I watch it remotely then it transcodes, I never mess with the default settings and it’s fine.

My cpu is i3 8100 so I think you would be fine as well, unless it’s multiple streams at once I have no reference for that.

What did you dislike about synfonium? I’m considering switching since I don’t have a plex subscription anyway so I did not get to enjoy the sonic analysis featured etc.

Intro skipping works pretty well once you set it up and give it time to scan.

Iirc the feature used to be an add-on with module and I read here somewhere it now baked in out of the box, is that the case ?

You may wind up transcoding even if you think you really shouldn’t have to

I thought there’s an edge case somewhere but from your explanation I don’t think I need transcoding for video. Not that I don’t want it.

My NAS is old, like, i3 2100 old. So I just make sure the media can be played directly on my 2 client locally, so I don’t know how much HW transcode improve the performance but if it’s usable, that’s a nice bonus. Maybe if I ever get a 4K display but that’s a problem for future me.

I spent a lot of time getting the metadata right in Plex

Pretty much yeah, I really don’t wanna mess with the music library

Thanks for the answer.

I think I’ll give it a try then.

Is there any consensus which client is better for desktop and android ?

Thank you.

Since you run both, I have a few questions if you don’t mind.

I don’t have a plex pass but, so the only feature I want is intro skipping and from what you mention I understand it needs tinkering. Acceptable for me.

My usage is pretty simple if I migrate to Jellyfin do I need to fuck around with my folder structures ? No special case just /movie/title | tv/title in my use-case with the usual arr stack for grabbing.

The client used currently is a desktop client on arch/windows and I don’t need hardware transcoding. The server and libraries are on Truenas.

I don’t need remote playback for movies/tvs but I have no idea how to replace Plexamp and if you have suggestions, feel free to mention it.
