And install some sprinklers.

Before I left Reddit, for some time it had started to feel like every comment thread would quickly devolve into a chain of "um actually". So much so that I stopped commenting. I didn't need the hit to the ego and I have no interest in getting into internet arguments. I haven't had that experience here, and ir's encouraged me to participate far more than I did there.

As a long time Jellyfin skeptic, this is the most convinving endorsement I've heard. I dug into the links you shared. I had no idea the Jellyfin ecosystem had expanded so far.

And that right there is why I read this sub. TIL NixOS. I'll be digging into this for sure. A quick glance looks promising. Thanks for the recommendation.

I think that's something I'd like to avoid, at least for now. That may change once I've developed strong opinions about how things should work.

I paid $70 for a lifetime PlexPass 11-years ago. It's been a great investment. Not sure how much longer I'll be using Plex, but I have no regrets.

 

I'm building my own NAS. I've put together gaming PCs and simple workstations, but this will be my first foray into "the big leagues". At this point, I'm planning to use Unraid because it seems quite beginner friendly. I'm not a linux newbie, but I'm no sysadmin either. The thing that's making me question my choice is that I dont plan to take advantage of Unraid's killer feature; the abilty to add any size disk into your array. I've already got as many disks as the case will hold (8 x 12TB). When the inevitable day comes that I need more storage, I'll probably just build a second machine.

I've also looked at TrueNAS Scale a bit, and it seems approachable, but perhaps more capable than I really need. I do plan to run a number of containerized apps, but don't expect I'll need to run any VMs very often. I'm also not sure how I feel about ZFS. I read so many conflicting opinions. So, I haven't decided on a file system yet either.

My primary use cases are: media server, storage server, and homelab playground. I want to self-host as many things as possible so I can stop depending so heavily on enshittifying cloud services. I know I can look a lot of this stuff up And I have been reading whatever I can find. But much of what I've learned in recent months has been a direct result of reading this sub, so I'd love to tap into the knowledge found here.

Crap, i delete my first comment. Luckily i copied it right before, lol.

And once you control the bank account, just put a stop payment on all of the subscriptions. What are they gonna do, put a negative mark on your dead relative's credit score?

Depends on the state and the type of debt. Have a mortgage? The bank will give the next of kin the opportunity to take over the payments. If they dont't pay the mortgage, the bank will foreclose on the loan. But if Netflix comes after your kid for not paying your subscriotion fee after you die? They can fuck right off. At least, where I live.

Right now, Jellyfin is still too buggy and feature-poor for my tastes. I can't imagine trying to convince my friends and family to use it instaed of Plex. Jellyfin shows a lot of promise though. Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm comfotable making the switch. I suppose Plex might force my hand before that.

Precisely. I don't want or use any of those features. I've disabled all the streaming service and friend stuff, I don't ever use the watchlist, and I use Tautulli for watch history. I don't even really care about watch history either. I mostly set up Tautulli because I like self-hosting stuff.
