I had a professor describe it as such: “Computers aren’t smart. They’re just extremely fast at finding all the wrong answers first.”

Your bones are disintegrating because you didn’t drink enough MALK.

the big orange man wants americans to have government subsidized hamburgers so people think that food costs arent as insane as they are, but he refuses to say where he’s getting it from. the general consensus seems to be that he’s allowing the import of a bunch of meat that was rejected by other countries for failing to meet quality standards. because that’s how you help struggling cattle ranchers, after all.

Seconded.

Ironically, this kind of response is exactly what I’m talking about.

not a frothyboi sorry. unless you’re encouraging other people to just open it to the internet with no security in place… that’d be a bit frothy.

Like I’m all for choices you know. But I want people to make informed choices. If I’d tried to pitch Jellyfin to my group of gamer friends for sharing media then it would have gone nowhere because it requires more technical knowledge than they possess or that I want to support. They were all able to set up free, relatively secure Plex instances with essentially no assistance.

It’s only frothing if you insist that installing tailscale on your grandma’s DSL modem is the best way to share home movies

Also you dont have to be lumped in with the frothing at the mouth Jellyfin users.

At this point if I were to switch from Plex I would go with Emby just because a bunch of sweaty nerds don’t simp over it every time Plex comes up in the news.

The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.

This.

Securely sharing is simpler on Plex. I can invite anyone with just an email and they have near instant access to an HTTPS encrypted service. I don’t have to deal with setting up a VPN, reverse proxy or ACLs (in the case of something like Tailscale).

Because if I’m watching locally I dont need them, and if I’m watching remotely Plex already offers secure remote viewing 'out of the box`. They give every user an SSL certificate and a public accessible URL at app.plex.tv. They also handle secure user authentication. The new price is stupid, but Jellyfin is not a 1:1 replacement.

A gentle reminder that Jellyin more or less requires you to set up a reverse proxy and a secure VPN to use it outside of your home.

It’s the exposure, which leads to more ad revenue (in theory, without adblockers). YouTube creators live or die based on the algorithm and two of the main things the algorithm looks at is frequency of posting and engagement. Since Google needs metrics to give advertisers some idea of revenue potential, someone liking your video isn’t nearly as valuable to the algorithm as someone liking, commenting and subscribing (if not already subscribed obvi). As an example, ElectroBOOM just started making shorts of all his old content because he’s in the middle of a big house move and doesnt have time to make regular content which he noticed led the algo to stop recommending his content as much. But as far as just making a junk account and liking every video Google has systems in place to ignore “stale” accounts that don’t actually watch the videos. Ultimately what they want is viewers since eyeballs equals ads equals revenue.

I haven’t used TrueNAS but from what I’m reading it has an option to import existing pools. If you have spare SSD I would yank your windows drive out of the system and try installing Proxmox on the spare drive first. There’s a truenas installation script on that community page I linked in my other post, it says to follow this discussion after it runs. That might be a good starting point.

I hope that barracuda was shucked from a Seagate Expansion lol (that’s where I got all of my barracudas).

good bot

Yes, you can. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Advanced_Migration_Techniques_to_Proxmox_VE#HyperV
