Yeah that’s definitely true. I gladly pay for Emby and thing it’s worth every penny for how I use it. Jellyfin has got to be the best free+open one for sure.

It is, but also incredibly quick, easy to use etc.

Everything Plex used to be in the good old days imo!

Not forgetting Emby allows either a local or a federated account!

Why does nobody ever mention Emby? To me, it’s everything Plex used to be before it got enshittified!

Yeah, definitely a Memmy thing. Happened to me too.

I use parsec to play retro games with my mates by streaming from my pc. Works really well!

Permadeath programming, love it

That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!

Only if it turns up in a search result for something. I refuse to install their crappy app on my phone and Lemmy scratches enough of the itch that I haven’t been tempted back

Yup, I’ve done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit’s app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone…

Can see you from my local instance :)

I’ve been using Emby for a few years after Plex just became worse and worse, relying on cloud logins and being unreliable, pushing their own junk content above my library etc. Emby reminds me of what plex used to be, it’s amazing!

Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!

Inb4 YouTube starts charging for API access… too soon? :(

iPhone 14 Pro Max. I know, I know, but the battery life can’t be beat. Great speaker, screen and camera too. Used to have a Huawei P30 Pro that was awesome though

Try using a different sort - “Hot: Day” is sometimes better than “Active”.

I generally don’t trust most git GUIs - a number of our developers have used SourceTree on OS X before and it’s led to nothing but issues. The only one I trust is the one built into IntelliJ IDEA, otherwise I’ll use commandline.

At least it gives us plenty of mildly infuriating content!

It seems like PeerTube does allow peer to peer streaming of watched videos too, so that might help mitigate the bandwidth requirements. The storage and transcoding requirements will be far larger than things like Lemmy though, agreed.

Agreed. Sensible to only do the incoming too, I had an outgoing one and it got hijacked because SMTP security seems to default to ‘least secure’. For example if there is a single character out of place in the config file, I found it basically opened everything up rather than reporting an issue :)
