  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Yeah, as a big music fan I have always been disappointed in Embys music functionality. I followed the discussions around this on there site and I was a bit disappointed by the response. They were getting the same feedback around how bad it is and it should be revamped or even have a dedicated app just for music and they just dismissed it basically saying we'll it can be something we may do later on but dont hold your breath and that they believe it works fine the way it is and dont agree it will help.

    Luckily I really didnt care to use it for music anyway. I already had a Subsonic (now Navidrome) server for that. It would have been nice for a few things, but ultimately it was fine. The cool part is the android app Symfonium is the best music app I have ever used and it connects to all the servers to pull data. I obviously still use navidrome, but I could just pull from emby as well with it.

  • Dam thats what I thought. Emby has something similar but doesnt force you to use it so I don't.

  • Years ago I decided to go with Emby over Plex only because at the time plex didnt support kodi integration and I enjoyed using that at the time for my front-end user experience. Within 6 months they started supporting it and I was upset since I did want to go with plex. Lately I feel like I made the perfect decision. It's gotta be close to 10 years now and I paid one $100 lifetime fee for Emby and still use it everyday along with some family and friends I gave access to. Also gotta remember I dont believe jellyfin was even an option at that time. I tried it not to long ago and although it was fine, I actually think I liked emby a little more.

    As for the remote access, how do they block it? Do they not allow you to setup your own remote connection that does not involve plex? Thats how I do it, I do not use emby connect to make it easier to go through them I just setup my own domain, use ddns, and configure the ports I want exposed and thats it. If plex doesnt allow that then thats already crazy, if they do and even thats now blocked then thats even crazier.

    Emby may be simpler, and i heard about plex having a music AI feature that I was actually jealous of, but overall it just works and not paying anything in forever will always be my preferred method over awful monthly subscriptions anyday.

  • If eating a banana is ~0.1μSv, then what is holding a banana for an hour?

    Jump

  • Weird I just saw a YouTube video on this like a week ago. Basically you would need to eat an amount that would never be possible by a lot for anything to possibly happen. The other point is we have more radiation than a banana to begin with and are hit by more radiation in 1 day than probably a thousand would even create. Our bodies are able to remove some radiation as well. There are even some parts of the world were people are exposed to higher than normal amounts of radiation and we found that over time the rate of cancer is less than the global average so I would highly doubt being around bananas would cause any risk for cancer.

  • DFRobot router board with a CM4

    Jump

  • Lol dont complain to much. You could be like me were i only have 1 option and although they just now released fiber earlier this year, im not paying the price for it. I've been stuck on 200mbps down and 30mbps up for years now and I'm paying as much if not more than people a few towns over that get 1gb. Also my ISP has no plan that allows over that upload speed no matter what plan you pick.

  • The Super Mario Galaxy Movie – Official Trailer

    Jump

  • Dang, I thought they were heading for Super Mario World for this one. I'm guessing it's due to the generation gap and who this will be more relevant to age group wise? All I know is it better have Yoshi!

  • People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?

    Jump

  • As someone who loves music and listens to it every chance I get, I honestly never got into using headphones and walking. It just doesn't feel right to me. I am also very attentive to my surroundings, and if I feel like I don't know what's exactly going on, I really don't like that feeling. It may also be a generational thing? Im in my 40s, and the headphone market was a bit different 20 years ago when I was younger, and none of that really appealed to me. I never even had an iPod, I owned a zune lol.

  • Why Everybody is Leaving Spotify

    Jump

  • I have been self hosting since 2008. Went through around 7 different apps since then, and I am currently using Navidrome, which is a fork of Subsonic with the android phone app Symfonium. For a while there self hosting looked pretty bleak around 2020, but it seems to have found a resurgence which I love because the development has been big again leading to more modern looking players and a lot of great new functionality.

  • Why Everybody is Leaving Spotify

    Jump

  • I only used Spotify briefly years ago. I had no idea you could actually block the audio ads they send you? That's pretty cool if so.

  • What's a genre of music you're waiting to have a resurgence?

    Jump

  • Don't expect it to go anywhere anytime soon. It, sadly, seems to be one of the most popular and probably most profitable genre going right now. As others have said, the others still exist, but you gotta dive deeper. I have hated whatever this country music is forever now.

  • YouTube TV loses all Disney content

  • I agree, but it definitely costs more, lol. It's still worth it. I live in an area with a lot of power outages so we lose internet a bunch. No problem i got everything still available!

  • As someone who only used the stock synology app and has always wanted to try something else, what features and things does this do better? I am close to trying it out just to see. Im sure it will solve my 1 big issue where I can't control the location of photos that default to my application storage, which is pretty small, instead of my actual storage array.

  • Never buying milk from Walmart again

    Jump

  • I just had one where I didn't use it at all for a few weeks, and it was a few days past the expiration date. This may help, but it wasn't opened yet. My wife was like, "Throw it out!" And I was like no ill take the risk. Decided to have cereal the next morning and was pleasantly surprised it was perfectly fine and was able to use it all within the next 3 days.

    Then again, I have had times where i just got it, and 2 days later, it was super gross. Here's looking at you stop and shop store brand milk... got burned twice like that, and I have never purchased it again. I hate that store so much.

  • It's sad that none of these people you deal with don't know what service they use or vendors they deal with? That sounds fantastic for you, scary for everyone else.

  • What's that longest time you went without eating? Why?

  • I think 48 hours was the most. Did it as a Kickstart to a diet.

  • How should everything be routed?

    Jump

  • Now I am confused. Those are not fiber cables. They are regular ethernet ones. No light is in them. If you're talking about fiber in general, then that would make more sense.
