Q

Late 30’s divorce here about 5 years ago… It takes a while to start over all the life planning but once it gets rolling, things are so much better. That emotional bullshit you fight every day lifts off your shoulders and you can be more focused on the important stuff.

You won’t notice it for a while. Keep going.

I did check lens as was suggested, and it comes up with a lot of hits but mostly to Pinterest and reddit as it’s been reposted. I don’t see anything factual without diving in further (no pun intended).

I guess lens is better though.

I don’t use the mulvad thing, but I do not set my tailnet device as an endpoint. Only traffic meant for my server gets to my network.

Lots of ways to do it.

The biggest thing is, jf will feel different. Give it a chance, run it side by side Plex for a while. Fix your media database or update your files, do some spring cleaning, and pick jf to watch your stuff until t feels natural. Then it’s time to bring users over.

I was an early adopter to Plex, came over from Boxee when it was a thing and bought a very inexpensive lifetime pass.

I jumped ship about a year ago to jellyfin. I use tailscale and just help people set it up. After initial setup, it’s a toggle and start jellyfin and it functions pretty close to Plex. My users use the Onn box or Nvidia shield. Almost nothing has to transcode. I had issues with poorly encoded mp4 files but mkv streams flawlessly without transcode. Transcode itself is limited by graphics chip.

One note, I don’t add people to my tailscale, each user has their own tailnet and then I join it to mine by inviting them to my server. This gets around the 3 user limit.

Overall, some annoyance and pain but not bad and people went along with my plan and now it’s just normal.

My thing was, it’s my server. If they want what I have then buy an Onn or whatever and spend 15 minutes setting things up. Or don’t. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

They start to built up but i clean out occasionally and don’t keep more than 5 of any type. I have never run out and also every device comes with a cable.

5 is arbitrary but it keeps the problem under control.

Don’t let junk take off your life. Every square foot of space has a cost. If the thing being stored is not more valuable (emotionally, dollar value, whatever) than the space it sits in, get rid of it.

I’m using boost now but I miss the swipe to upvote feature I used to have on sync. Any recommendations? That swipe feature was great and made it so easy to throw a vote out there.

Thank you for the explanation. It’s mind boggling how much momentum they had and still currently have despite the bad news for years. I appreciate your response.

Every headline telling me how close they are to broke, or collapse or ruin… Makes me realize how much I don’t understand about economics and geopolitics because these headlines have been the same for the last two years.

I’m not saying it’s inaccurate but when I’m broke, I’m broke and I can’t keep paying rent for another two years.

I see 1000 men dead/wounded a day, 200 vehicles, ships, etc every day and yet with a gdp the same as New York state they seem to have unlimited resources. How would New York alone fund a war for 4 years and run a country and have an entire military. None of it makes sense to me how they are still fighting.

That sounds like a nightmare tbh. So many failure points, so much heat and power usage, and cables.

I have 6 out of 8 bays filled and still feel like it’s a lot to worry about and manage if something fails.

My neighbor had one like this in his tree, bald face hornets. He would mow under it and do yardwork, they never bothered him. However, me across the street got stung on two separate occasions before I asked to split the cost of an exterminator because those bastards kept stinging me in the face. I hate killing things but I hate being stung more.

I agree but it’s not always black and white. It’s a pop up every once in a while that I click an x on and move in with my life.

I’m not defending it, but I’m also not loading a new OS on my truck or spending time working on changing it. I obviously hate the popup and don’t want it but it’s been 3 years, its just something I have to do and move on with life in 2 seconds every few months.

Him turning into a magician, just to pull the cloth off the table and have everything crash anyway was pretty good.

For reference, for anyone who isn’t familiar with the 2004 movie Dodgeball.

The difference with vehicles vs computers is everything is so god damn expensive and/or hard to fix. So it will never be worth the risk of failure because I need it to function for emergencies, work and life. RAM wins this round unfortunately and I guess I just have to deal with it for now.

2022 model and about every three months I’ll get one for Sirius XM or something related to that. It’s only when the vehicle starts up and initializes. Its annoying but Ive been on the Internet since the late 90’s, my ability to practice the 5 D’s: dip, dodge, duck, dive and dodge for popups is muscle memory.

A lot of random things that weren’t explained. Chinese writing? Is there a purpose to the wrist band that was found? With the pattern buffer glitching, it feels like this is a part 1. Who were the other aliens and how did they get the visor?

I know they tried to explain it but why did the building vaporize that guy?!

Note to self, never go on a first away mission. Skip it and go on a second or third once all the kinks are worked out.

Qb series Samsung are commercial displays but no Netflix or smart features. However, they are about double the price of a standard tv. Will last forever though. I would rather buy a less expensive and not connect it to the network.
