This user is spamming this garbage everywhere. Look at their post history.

It’s small now, but growing. You can’t scroll infinitely for new content. It’s grown a lot in the time I’ve been here. The smallness can be a positive if you work to have genuine interactions with people. There’s no “karma” and some instances have disabled down votes entirely. You have sometimes subscribe to more than one community of the same topic (each on a different instance).

I’ve got to admit that I’ve never used Plex (I’m a cantankerous open software fanatic), but how do you get your media on there? You’re hosting your own server so presumably you’re downloading the media somehow. Are you doing it manually? If so, you can do the same with Jellyfin. Is it automated with some tool built into Plex?

I don’t want anyone to get discouraged because of this post. Bottom line is that it is very easy to make a “live USB” of a Linux distro and play around with it. There is zero risk or commitment in doing so. Another great option is to install it on an old computer you have or can easily get. It may or may not “be for you”, but it is very easy to try out.

I’m only sharing access with a few friends and family, so I don’t find it cumbersome. Usually I make their account using the Jellyfin app on my phone. I do sympathize with not wanting to do support, which is the main reason I don’t even ask for help with the hosting costs. I don’t want to feel any obligation.

Wanted, tried, couldn’t. Adoption process seemed too intimidating. Making the best of it.

I’m surprised by the resistance to Jellyfin in this thread. If you are using Plex, you’re already savvy enough to use bittorrent and probably the *arrs. If you can configure that stuff, Jellyfin is absolutely something you can handle. If you like Docker, there’s good projects out there. If you’re like me and you don’t understand Docker, use Swizzin community edition. If you can install Ubuntu or Debian, and run the Swizzin script, you’re in business.

Uh, my parents are over 80, and I have jellyfin set up on their firestick. They have no problem using it. It’s just an app they open like anything else.

I have Jellyfin running on a VPS. I used Swizzin Community Edition to set it all up. It is available online.

Thank you!

I like this topic. Pretty much wherever you go, people are practicing this kind of syncretic belief. This is why the “same” religion in two different countries has local flavor. More often than not, when a religion is expanding into new territory, it absorbs some of the preexisting local beliefs. Christmas is a good example within Christianity, with the Christmas tree.

Another example is Japan where they say “you’re born with Shinto, marry with Christianity and die with Buddhism”. Many places maintain animist beliefs alongside more recent religions. There are even communities in South Asia where people attend both Muslim mosques and Hindu temples!

The people I love. My sense of justice.

I don’t use docker, so I just set the interface to the tun0 or whatever in the qbittorrent config.

qbittorrent.

Organize in your community. Doing something/anything will help alleviate the anxiety and stress you are feeling.

I like how they take a moral stance against Apple and Google, but then proudly display Boeing and the US Air Force as customers.

Slavery, war and genocides.

I learned about Gandhi when I was 12, and thought it was dumb that he would be in hell just because he wasn’t Christian. Absolutely could not square that rule with the idea that “God is love”. Figured it was all a bunch of bullshit.

Projection, or machiavellianism.

Sucks to go see a band you love and be disappointed. Hope your next show is better!
