I really would like to use Jellyfin, but the remote access is quite useful to me personally. My immediate family lives far away and they can access my library remotely quite easily. They just want to watch their requested shows and don't need 4k HDR 7.2 surround sound for their cooking shows.

I guess I could set up tailscale or some other vpn access to my network but I don't feel like explaining that to parents and siblings. Even my partner, who lives with me, has little patience for all things electronic. They're an Apple user and I'm aware enough not to constantly pester them with my ideals and preferences. Plex works on our Apple TV and is easy so it's the best solution right now. Am I in the minority? Probably, but different strokes for different folks.

TLDR: Jellyfin is awesome, but Plex currently makes more sense for my needs.

Similarly, I have a Plex lifetime license.

I think my biggest hurdle for Jellyfin is setting up a VPS for all my self hosted services. Currently I use Cloudflare Tunnels, which is easy but I'd like to get away from it because Cloudflare and it doesn't allow for streaming services to run on it.

I'll spin up Jellyfin and see how Swiftfin is on the Apple TV. If I feel it has minimal friction I'll try and make the jump.

With regards to spreading the good word of self hosting, I've had the best luck just offering good services to those around me. Spliit, HomeAssistant, and Immich have been easy to get my partner to use. Then I just happen to say "oh yeah, this is running on my server btw". The holy grail would be to convince my friends to use Fluxer or something instead of Discord.

Yeah, that's a potential solution, but then my sister's starting college soon so she'd need to VPN into one of the networks when she's not at home; which brings us back to square one.

Then there's whenever they're not home and want to watch something on their phone or laptop.

If it's not UwUntu, I don't want it 😤

I just joined because it didn't require an email to sign up. Not sure what else happens in this instance tbh.

Hang out and.....not.....bone?

Nice stick bro. Excellent length, nice girth.

I would agree a used Pixel with Graphene OS would be the simplest solution.

No need to worry, those security patches would be millennia ahead of any contemporaneous trojans.

Usually your engine uses fuel to turn your wheels.

When you engine brake, your wheels turn your engine.

Take this with a huge grain of salt, but I remember hearing once that the eyes are kind of an external piece of the brain.

All FOSS nerds that joined after 2020 only know OBS, charge they phone, distro hop, eat hot chip, and GUI.

Not out of the box

This is why withholding their salary is not a good idea, it only affects those who aren't already well off.

If I just have pants/shorts:

• Front Left: Phone. This is what I mainly hold my phone in, and dictates where everything else goes
• Front Right: Slim bifold wallet and keys.
• Rear pockets: Nothing. I don't like the feeling of sitting on anything. It also might be needless anxiety, but I feel like I could be pick pocketed more easily if I had anything in my rear pockets.

If I'm wearing a sports coat, which isn't often, I'll put my phone in my right interior pocket, and my wallet and keys in my left interior pocket. Mostly since I can then reach in with my left hand to get my phone.

If I need to carry more items I'll use a small satchel or something. All of this sounds convoluted, but makes sense in my head. Also, I don't wear jeans, haven't for years. They're not very flattering from behind and they always manage to pull on my leg hairs somehow.

If only we could have seen this coming....

I also choose this man's Moth

Firstly, it doesn't have to be all at once, do it in stages.

Also, when I switched I used it as an opportunity to organize my emails, so I made a finances tag, a medical tag, etc. I would make a tag and move over all the emails that fit that tag, eventually I had moved everything over. It also ended up being a good chance to close accounts I hadn't used before.

I don't know what your - and your kid's - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I'd probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he'll try and learn more by himself.

I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.
