In the US there is still a thing ad broadcast TV. Stick a TV antenna up in the air, free TV. Get a tuner card for PC and TV for your PC before streaming was ever a thing. Used it on my laptop when I traveled more. But with setting it up in jellyfin it works but is janky and needs polishing, and setting it up to download the TV guide is kinda a nightmare. With Plex life pass ( this is the feature that made me get it and dropping Comcast cable TV) it just works auto scans for channels and auto downloads TV guide, easy to flip throughout channels even my mom does it.

I’ll have to look into that. Last I remember they removed that and local simple pin. Because it could be used to bypass security even from outside network. You are running current version right?

I do that sometimes but I like the morning news and I feel it should be current so not a great solution for me. Jellyfin just needs a bit more polish. Its great I like it but also at the same rate the appear to fix some things like their security bugs I’m not going to hold my breath. I do hope they push through though like Immich.

3 Things stop from using jellyfin 100% of the time.

1. TV tuner is janky and loading a guide for local channels is garbage. I like watching the morning local news and jellyfin just does not cut it.

2. I want sub accounts. They used to have something similar but took it out for security reasons. I want to log all my TVs into one account but then have each user select their profile. So I can easily have a restricted profile for say kids then another for my parents then one for me then one for SO under the same roof. It will track each persons watched profile so when someone watches ahead it doesn’t mess with someone else’s.

3. On the same note, controller/ HTPC remote configs feel janky. I know its there but its not a smooth and easy as Plex. This goes along with above for anyone who says just make another account. You try entering half decent passwords with small HTPC remotes or controllers. Every time you go to watch TV.

If they could fix these things I would ditch Plex all the way. But as it stands I use Plex for my TV and jellyfin for my phones, tablets, PC.

Voyeurism.

Shhh. I was mainly talking about porn… But yes that works too. 😏

You know when you make a sandwich or some buttered toast and you set the knife carefully on the edge of the sink. Well because you might decided to make another sandwich latter or your SO goes that looks good can I get one too. And bam your the hero because you now have one less knife to clean in the dishwasher.

That is why I have so many tabs open. I know I probably won’t need most of them and it’s safe to close them. But oh dang do I feel like a hero when I get that itch for a video I want to watch and I don’t have to look through my history for next 20 minutes because, bam, its right their in that tab.

Anyone know where this is from, for um research reason? Got to make sure they are doing it right. Wouldn’t want them to pull a muscle.

I hope those that are iffy about the jump away from microsoft look at valves steam machine and realize they can also use it for more than games. Make a smooth transition from oh this thing only does games to oh I can use it as my PC.

This makes total sense now.

The people of a country should not live in fear of the state. To the contrary, it is the country that should fear it’s people.

The desk that is glued together in my room?

Yes but what weird proprietary tool thing goes with what weird off brand IKEA wana be proprietary piece of furniture. You think I got time to try everything in the tool bag no I’m just grab the Phillips and strip the fuck.out of whatever it is get mad then glue it. Get mad that doesn’t work then chuck it out the window. /s Do I need to say this?

I thought the same thing but then remembered I had to replace mine recently and remember seeing smoke alarms coming with ‘lifetime’ liON batteries. They where even cheaper than the 9v ones. This is going to be more of a problem in 10/years. I bought the 9v ones because I didn’t want to deal with what happens when it starts dyeing.

Edit oh I can’t wait till they come with some sort of subscription and they beep if you don’t pay.

So I am a roided out gay nerd spending daddy’s money. Cool.

I have been using the flatpak ffxivlauncher for years and haven’t had an issue. Currently on bazzite but have used it on arch and nixos.

Ah nice to know. I’m just an amateur hobbyists. I just remember years ago the company I worked for(somewhat large) blocked ports 80 and 443 but left almost everything else open. Stop employees from browsing the web. I went home hosted a web page served on some random high port that worked as a proxy and loaded pages I wanted then used it to play flash ( shows my age) games at work to kill time. Looking back guess I could of gotten into some shit but no longer work for them. It was a fun time though.
