  • Host the shit yourself. The monthly costs of paying a hoster will be far greater than just getting the equipment yourself. Imagine you pay for example $50 a month for a half way decent server. That’s $600 a year. That alone is a decent plex server with decent storage. Times that by 5-10 years and you are paying out the ass for the same server and the same storage vs using that same money to spend on HDD space and the plus side is it’s actually YOUR equipment in the end. Now i get some guys have shit internet and those people I’m not talking about. Some will try and say they don’t have space. I call BS. An intel NUC is extremely tiny and power efficient and can be hooked up to an external enclosure tucked away. I myself have the space for a rack with multiple JBODs but i know not everyone has that luxury.

    I tried jellyfin but for the life of me I can’t figure out why my search takes 1-2 mins to load when searching something. Multiple people have this issue but none of the fixes work for me. So sadly it’s still plex for me.
















  • The job I’d prefer is hundreds if not thousands of years from now. I want to have my own ship to explore planets and feed the data back to earth. New contact? Great send info to earth for ground troops to stop by and start procedures while i move to the next planet.

    A planet that’s lifeless but good for resources. Great, send info to earth for mining ships to start work on it.

    Bad areas not suitable for ship travel (black holes, pulsars, etc etc). Ok mark perimeter for other ships to avoid.

    Mark scenic areas for possible stations to setup.

    Imagine thousands of ships that are doing this. So much data flow. Probably too much data for scientists to keep up 🤣

    Someone has to do it and not many would like to do it but those of us that would like to would have a blast! You could even do it as a 1 man crew with robots to help keep the ship going that way if the human lifeform were to die it’s only 1 life vs the hundreds that would potentially die if it was a full crew of humans. The robots could even clean up for the next human to take over.

    But that’s all a dream unfortunately.
