0·4 months agoThe price of ownership is maintenance.
Prices keep rising because people will pay ANY price to avoid personal responsibility.
Ah, the common clay of the new Web
That’s not how capitalism works though
Plex wants us to log into their servers to watch content we’re hosting ourselves.
I hate Plex as much as the next Jellyfin user but you can just whitelist your local network, although people who understand that aren’t the target audience are they? …
I would buy a G5 every few years until the end of time if they still made them. Profit clearly isn’t the driving motivator of the post capitalist world we inhabit.
And what exactly will you replace your logitech stuff with? they’re all going down this path now.
honestly if they still make the only mice that don’t look like a gaming router they might still have me … on the second hand market at least.
Talk to e-waste recyclers and see if they have contact details for anyone buying their office PCs. Businesses don’t give a fuck, these things are going straight in the bin.
You could attempt to buy from them directly but there’s a solid chance they already have someone buying in bulk and don’t want to sell single items to the public.
Driving a car is only dangerous when you die in a traffic accident.
your logic doesn’t check out.
reminds me of the dude with a PDP 11 in his basement
no, the auth to use it at all … internet goes down and you can’t watch your own movies on your own network. peak self hosting.
the hero we deserve.
my physical collection is mostly thrift store finds
it’s a spreadsheet right?
Pi4 just streaming Jellyfin, nothing fancy.
didn’t know infuse had a lifetime cost but look how that’s working out for plex.
I would rather ssh into a linux box I own to bash my head against bluetooth compatibility issues than have everything just work while a company sells every last bit of data they can steal from me.
like most things apple when it works it’s the best user experience out there, but if you have the slightest little issue good fucking luck.
I can’t speak to infuse (because I’m self hosting to get away from subscriptions) but Jellyfin is extremely picky about file formats on appletv, I found myself using VLC more and more often until my Pihole sd card died and I found myself with a Libreelec box that just runs anything I throw at it without complaining.
the search for a remote half as good as a siri remote has begun.
a few GB of photos
get an m-disc burner and make multiple full backups to distribute around your family
Let’s hope so.
What’s next, Open source electric car? Building and living in an Earth Ship?
incredibly lucky. my Pi burned through so many cards I wouldn’t use it for a pihole again, especially when mini pcs are better and cheaper
(and before anyone asks yes I was logging to ram)
