Yea, JF is getting mature enough for more people to transition.

I've been running it side by side with Plex for about 2 years now, and have a couple of clients (and all of my personal use) on JF, but a few users either cant run JF directly on their hardware (and don’t want to cast every time) or they are older and would struggle to learn a new app without some hands on practice with it.

The newest Plex UI update on some devices is causing some problems so I think I’ll have a few more users moving to JF in the near future.

It's a bit of a ram hog compared to plex but that's not a major issue.

unraid is great but on a little 4 bay mini nas with limited expandability you don't get much advantage for the money, it's better for larger arrays and lots of mixed disk sizes, and on systems where you can put in lots of SSDs to make a decently fast caching setup die to unraid slower non-striped array architecture.

On a 4 bay mini-NAS I'd go with the free truenas option and just make it a RaidZ1 of 4 disks.

For a beginner, OMV might be simpler, and for paid options, HexOS is probably more beginner friendly than raw TrueNas.

A free alternative to Unraid is Snapraid, but thats more of a roll-your-own solution, not an OS you can just install.

way back in the early days of Wifi (802.11B was the cutting edge magic future technology) I had a large antenna hooked up to my laptop PCMCIA wifi card and could pick up some open networks from a few neighbours away. I used to set it up and leave winmx running on my laptop to download all sorts of garbage.

My home internet at the time was up-to 512Kbps satellite downlink (usually around 200k and lots of packet loss and very high ping) with a ~56k dial up uplink which was also the failover when the satellite was too weak, so it was very asymmetrical and unreliable.

This is semi-rural Australia in 1999/2000 and was the best we could get until we got a 3G connection that usually got 1.5meg down and 500k up on a weak HSPA connection, that place didn’t get 8/1 ADSL a couple of years later around 2005/6. A couple of streets away there were already on cable and better DSL lines were available so I assume I was connecting to one of those.

Over the weak long range Wifi connection with a makeshift "cantenna" that probably wasn’t quite right I usually got around 250k symmetrical if I recall correctly, which was really nice compared to the satellite link despite the lower maximum speed.

the most I think you could do would be log IPs for malicious or litigious purposes, I don’t think you could really do anything like malware injection in this case.

don't use Brave.

Yes its a decent piece of software made by some properly smart industry experts but I have zero faith in them on a personal trust level. The CEO (despite his amazing resume and past accomplishments) is an arsehole, a bigot, a crypto-scammer and a science denier.

The data-point that someone is using a dumbphone or actively trying to minimise/restrict profiling is a very important and valuable profiling data-point itself.

it's less than $3 on GOG at the moment.

And it is easily available through other means.

I still fire up HOMM3 + HD + HOTA every now and then.

can we find a way to spoof this so that they think legit physical disk usage is going up?

I'd be throwing in some of the individually wrapped single twix you get in some mixed packs.. just to throw them off and add some statistical interest.

jellyfin was a fork of emby anyway, its core framework is solid.

Emby has more of the plex-like polish, but it is more closed source than I would prefer to trust with my media, so I get by with Jellyfin. It works more than well enough fro my in-home media streaming and I still run plex for my remote users as I bought a plex pass way back at the start and I'm going to use it until I simply cant anymore... which seems to be rapidly approaching.

They don't need to listen to you to know exactly what you are thinking.

The average tech user likely has no idea how accurate these profiles can be without active listening.

China putting china on top of the charts is expected, but it's per capita production that makes more sense for direct comparison of countries.

In that case.. Australia is the leader by a strong margin..

If you want it Per Capita, try this one with data from 2023.

Pretty different story naturally.

(edited link to include the same countries as the op post)

Their consciousness is arguable to begin with

I never used it, but it was a popular third party add-on before the feature was integrated.

I've had a Lifetime PlexPass since 2013, so I've definitely had my moneys worth and then some, but for the last 2 years I’ve been dual wielding Jellyfin and watching it slowly get to the point where I can move over entirely.

I'm 100% Jellyfin now for my personal playback at home, and will be transitioning users over to it as soon as it gets a few more user management features for remote users.

cant wait to see how Sky spin this.

Same issue hit me, some government and banking services wouldn't accept my .info and .services domains, so I have a backup .com for those.

Wish I didn't need it though, its 2025.

I use Ad-Guard instead of Pihole because the pi-hole software used to be missing some of the DNS features I wanted at the time, and I just stuck with it ever since. I have the main DNS server running on my Unraid Box, and a backup that runs on my HomeAssistant Pi4B.

there are just as many audiobook releases done as individual chapter files as there are in chaptered m4b files. any good audiobook player should handle either just fine.

I get most of my audiobooks from soulseek at the moment, but there are a few things that are pulled from Usenet and ABB
