get a VPS, run Tailscale and NPM on it and switch to Jellyfin

Keep in mind that VPSs will charge for bandwidth, which adds up quickly when you’re streaming.

One suggestion I haven’t seen mentioned is contacting your ISP. Sometimes you can get a dedicated IP, although you might have to pay for it.

Alternatively you might just break down and pay for Plex Pass. I know that goes against the Lemmy philosophy to the very core, but for all its issues, Plex is still way ahead of Jellyfin in terms of features, UI/UX, etc. Jellyfin will get there, and I’m ready to switch the day that Plex becomes unusable, but that hasn’t happened yet.

Love to see MBMBaM!

Love to see The Dollop!

What dongle do you recommend?

Is my client bugging or is this comment empty?

Whoa that’s cool! It works in Thunder!

• The Session open group server sog.caliban.org has been permanently shut down due to the declining state and neglect of the open group ecosystem by its creators.
• The transition from the private cryptocurrency OXEN to the public ERC-20 token SENT is criticized for favoring the project’s creators over loyal community members, leading to potential financial losses for many.
• The author condemns the management of Session for their incompetence and dishonesty, predicting the project’s inevitable failure due to a lack of trust and proper execution.

No worries! Thanks for mentioning it, I might check it out!

Syncthing Syncthing Syncthing works flawlessly /plugover :)

Do you know how this compares to Ditto?

System Informer is a nice, more modern take on Process Explorer. My favorite feature is the filter which supports RegEx and searches the process name, command args, path, etc. Really nice for monitoring a few important processes.

7-zip

If you’re on Win 11, use NanaZip. It’s a fork with better integration with Windows 11’s crappy conext menu.

Caffeine

If you have PowerToys this is built in now.

AnyDesk has started enshitifying too but it’s still better than TeamViewer.

What? This just isn’t true? I RDP into work all time and it picks up my user session with all open apps from the last time I was physically at the machine. Then next time I’m at the machine, it picks up the session from last time I remoted in. In other words, as long as you always use the same account, it’s always the same session.

Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system

You are right this, but this is actually a benefit in my opinion. The last thing I want is for someone to turn on my monitor and see everything I’m doing. I like that it’s a private session of sorts.

Also RDP is better at adapting resolutions (I want my session to use my local monitors’ resolution, not the remote one) and forwarding system key shortcuts than any other remote solution I’ve used.

Thunderbird with the conversations add-on. It’s a game-changer that makes it much easier to transition from Gmail.

It can be encrypted…

Just a reminder that there are tons more options like this (and this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to movie piracy).

Notice Linus doesn’t use tabs; he just thinks the parser shouldn’t die when it sees them.

I think most comments are missing the fact that you were using someone else’s Emby server and might not want to set up your own.

If that’s the case, you could look into a movie-web instance like https://sudo-flix.lol/. Check out the list of instances.

If you really want to be overwhelmed with options, take a look at the FMHY page.

That is the pre-forked version, which doesn’t have nearly as much support as Magnolia’s version.

The pre-forked version’s code is still on GitHub, but the last commit was 6 months ago.

Here’s a bit of history of the forks (unfortunately the conversation was on GitLab, so this is an archive).
