  • What do you recommend for a TV client?

    Jump

  • I had a roku, and was unable to play HDR, Atmos, and subtitles would be a pain. I broke down and got an Nvidia shield. While the shield still has a few quirks it's way less than Roku, Webos or Firesticks.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • Jellyfin is very versatile but a bit clunky. I have it set up for my parents on their Roku and it works well enough for them. I set it up for other family members on their WebOS TV but they don't really use it. I used to use it with Roku as well, but had issues with some captions, Dolby Atmos and HDR. I finally broke down and got an Nvidia shield, which fixed all my problems since the developers focus on Android TV the most. I also have Plex, and it is easier to set up, looks more polished, but is less versatile.

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday!

    Jump

  • It's been pretty good after I got it working. Configuring Nginx reverse proxy took a bit to figure out since I had to forward the port internal to the docker network. But after that it was easy to configure everything.

    Jump

  • I started hosting audiobookshelf since Jellyfin was pretty clunky for audiobooks.

  • Her first point stands wrt SpaceX. Turning this into a discussion about her experience on the topic makes her point even more valid. Last time I checked people didn't need to be a nobel laurate in a field to make a valid point.

  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

    Jump

  • I use Tiny media manager to get tv show episode and movie info like fan art, actors and show synopsis and organize my movies, shows, music and audiobooks I get from CDs, DVDs, Blu Rays and downloads. Sonarr and Radarr only snatch files from torrents, and not the rest of the info that is needed for offline mode

  • Thanks for this. I was looking to get away from iplant and Google lens.

  • For me docker runs my software in independent containers like jellyfin. For me it helps with migrating the software to different computers, operating systems and os upgrades without completely having to reconfigure the software each time.

    Not sure about the fuck docker comment. I'm always open to alternatives, not everyone has the same software needs.

    Jump

  • I've been debating on trying out offense instead of OpenWrt. My server has a dual NIC with one interface going to my modem the other to a wireless access point. Openwrt is a bit clunky as I have to boot it in Virtual box. Any difference between PFsense and opensense?

  • I always get hungry when I play pixel dungeon! What an addictive grind!

  • Adding the following that i have not seen mentioned yet:

    Docker - I literally run most of my server programs with docker now. Home Assistant, Jellyfin, and many others.

    Tiny Media Manager that I use to scraper and organize my media library

    Tiny Tiny RSS to combine my news sites into one aggregator. I actually saw this post on it since Lemmy has RSS feeds!

    Openwrt I run as my home router.

    I2P but it's still pretty clunky.

    Nomachine I use as a remote desktop client.

    RocketDock I still use on my windows desktop after windows removed the programs toolbar.

    ImageJ/Fiji I use for image processing, it's from the NIH, with a bunch of Java plugins.

    Gluetun I use to run my vpn client

    Kodi for multimedia

  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

    Jump

  • Syncthing is awesome for home devices backups like phone pictures and videos and computer documents that can be version controlled. I also use Local Send app to share files between phones and computers in the house.

    Jump

  • Jellyfin is awesome, I also use it to serve my music and audio books. It's a bit more quirky than plex but I like that it's not tied to some company server in any way.

  • What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

    Jump

  • Home Assistant is awesome! It's the only way to control your house without giving out all your data to Amazon, Google or apple.

  • Is it realistic to set up a HTPC that doesn't need a keyboard or mouse?

    Jump

  • I also use an air mouse with keyboard Like this

    I run a linux HTPC that runs Kodi so once it's configured, you can just use the arrow buttons to navigate, not just the air mouse.

  • [Discussion] What do you think about the longer wait times between seasons and fewer episodes per season format of modern TV?

    Jump

  • It's like being a patient gamer! If you can wait long enough, you can get what you want at a cheaper price, with all the DLC season add ons!

  • [Discussion] What do you think about the longer wait times between seasons and fewer episodes per season format of modern TV?

    Jump

  • Agreed, and the main reason for 26 episodes per season was to get a show for rerun syndication as quickly as possible which needs 100 total episodes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes

    This caused a lot of high stress during filming to be able to to produce that many episodes in such little time.

    With streaming, companies like Netflix and HBO/Max are no longer looking to sydicate, so they can produce at their own pace a bit more. It sucks for the audience that is used to more shows, but I rather have a bunch of mini series that have a beginning, middle and end, than dragged out abominations like The Walking Dead. Shows like Breaking Bad that have both have always been very rare.

  • What are your favorite racing games?

    Jump

  • I always liked racing games combined with violence like Carmageddon and Twisted metal! Others along those lines are RC Pro Am, Spy Hunter, Road Rash 3D.
