I keep a single bill in my phone case for emergencies (be it an actual emergency or I just want to eat at some place which only takes cash).
If my phone battery runs out I’m stranded anyway, since I can’t call anyone or use my public transport ticket.
From a quick glance I can imagine many of those services don’t need much maintenance if any. E.g. RickRoll likely never needs any maintenance beyond the initial setup.
I’m pretty sure I was at the same point years ago. The good thing is, next time you look into containers it’ll likely be really easy and you’ll wonder where you got stuck a year or two ago.
At least that’s what has happened to me more times than I can remember.
Don’t trust a VPN kill switch, they can fail. Bind your torrent client to your VPN network interface.
Interesting, maybe they check whether it’s a domain/remote IP on the client side to prevent usage of a reverse proxy.
didn’t have to
Now you do have to, unless you pay for Plex and its convenience.
You need to properly name your media with a proper scheme (including tmdbid/imdbid).
Yes, after I set up the server properly (reverse proxy). With this change the same setup on the server side is necessary for remote streaming with free Plex.
My mum puts in the domain, username and password and starts streaming.
I don’t think Jellyfins focus is currently to support irregular naming schemes. Naming media correctly with a proper scheme is the way to go.
Just so you know I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Yes. There’s AudioBookShelf for audio books.
Roku is also a thing in Europe.
Though I also gave up trying to set up Tailscale for people and just exposed Jellyfin (behind a reverse proxy).
“Good luck setting up remote streaming with free Plex.”
Yes, Jellyfin does not forward ports for you. Same as free Plex. With this change both are the same difficulty to set up for free, the only difference is with Plex there’s a shortcut: Buy Plex.
Jellyfin does not host anything. With this change free Plex users behind a reverse proxy (or VPN) and Jellyfin users behind a reverse proxy (or VPN) work the same for remote access.
The only difference is that Plex no longer provides expensive services for free, while Jellyfin never provided them.
Yes, but you should use a reverse proxy for anything open to the internet. If you use a reverse proxy (without passing X-Forwarded-…), Plex and Jellyfin should have feature parity with this change.
I personally prefer Android TV for its app support.
Non-rechargeable batteries is a terrible idea from an ecological point of view.
Most people won’t replace an internal battery. If the battery dies, they buy a new controller.
I’m not sure whether this is actually better for the environment than even if they were using non-rechargeables.
I mistakingly wrote 6600, it’s similar to a lower clocked RX 7600. Though it’s performance is not that much different than the 6600. It’s a okay GPU. It’s a entry level GPU, i.e. the most inexpensive to get while still getting good value.

Roku is really simple and locked down. There’s ads on one side but nothing else. My 80yo grandma uses it.
Otherwise Projectivy is an Android TV launcher that can be configured to be really stripped down. It takes a bit of time but if you do it right it’d show less options than even Roku (it’d show only the apps you select, no launcher settings etc).
As a box I’ve heard good things about Onn (Walmart) if your in the US. If not, Homatics is great but pricey. Kick Pi KP1 is more affordable (but still way more expensive than Onn).
Latency is compounding. There’s no point where less latency is not better. It’s completely irrelevant how fast my reaction time is, as removing 3ms from the system latency allows me to start reacting 3ms earlier.
Edit: I do agree though, that 3ms more or less is not a deal breaker. I’be been playing on Wayland for many years. But not being a deal breaker does not mean it’s not a big deal.
