Thank you for explaining that, I always appreciate other insights.

I think there's a difference between saying "you do you", "you're gonna have to do it without me" and saying you actively dislike it. Be prepared for that to be an unpopular opinion. :)

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.

This is hilarious

Is xcancel a revival of nitter? I thought they couldn't work around the new API limitations.

Personally I don't trust myself with self-hosting something as important as photos. It would probably be fine, but I'm willing to pay for someone else to manage the infrastructure.

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.

I am also missing comments on posts from other instances.

And on a post I made to World, I only got comments from here.

Didn't they recently get bought by Canva? Not saying that's a good or bad thing, but it's something to keep in mind.

What does Proton have to to with this?

Ok I take it back. It plays in Firefox on Android, but not on Windows. Also on Android, it didn't play at first, I had to refresh. I don't know what's going on lol.

I kinda doubt catbox.moe is doing any kind of smart distribution. It's a pretty simple file hosting site.

Good question. Just because it's out of fashion doesn't mean it's bad. I'd be curious if the commenter has legitimate gripes.

You can also use Bing Image Creator.
