    I started getting into Star Trek last week and I’m planning to use Linux as soon as I get a laptop of my own. Lemmy has finally consumed me.

          That very post highlights that that confirmation is only if you stream the stuff Plex streams. If you use it for your own library as most do, then it’s a non issue.

          Jellyfin < Plex. No matter how you try and spin it. Just on ease of remote access and the UI alone

            I look at it in the reverse. I want this platform to stream at home. If it’s a pain to use at home without internt then it’s lost the plot. I’d setup Plex with the trusted local network in the config file and all of that, but then I still have reconfigure my clients and then they all get admin access so all my parental controls are gone. Jellyfin and Emby get this right and Plex does not, so I dropped Plex. I ended up on Em by instead of Jelly because Direct Play/Stream just wasn’t really working for me in Jelly (that may well have been due to my hosting on a Synology NAS).

              I’m in the same situation as you- I have a Synology NAS and I want to set up some sort of streaming for my old home movies. I would like to be able to view on mobile and at home. Is Emby possibly a better option than JellyFin for that scenario? I wasn’t even aware of them.

                We each have our own requirements and so I try not to judge

                Cheers, but you did say this

                Jellyfin < Plex. No matter how you try and spin it.

                So I spun it in my own different priorities under which Plex is not superior.

      Look into jellyfin. I used to run Plex but I find jellyfin way better.

        Each to their own but think you should highlight the failings of Jellyfin.

        Mainly:

        • Remote access is not a trivial feat, especially when compared to Plex
        • The UI is janky.

          The first point is valid, but it only applies to you as the server admin and not the remote users. And honestly it was stuff worth learning for me, as somebody who is not on the IT/web end of things.

          But the UI being janky? I don’t know about that. Static images of the screens may look better to you on the Plex side, and that’s just preference. But when it comes to lag, hitching, did that click register, having the server scan the media library, and just about every other performance thing I can think of, Jellyfin seems SO much better to me.

          And that’s why I do Emby instead. Cloud connections are not that difficult to setup, though not as streamlined as Plex. However, I refuse to go back to Plex because of some serious privacy concerns from the last couple years. I have had a lifetime membership with them since like 2014 and it was great for a long time, but I don’t need it tracking activity of my friends.

          Setting up remote access for Jellyfin felt pretty trivial for me like 2 years ago when switching away from Plex. No hiccups that I can recall whatsoever. Except for maybe the nginx reverse proxy configuration, but the documentation made it decently straightforward, but that step isn’t strictly necessary to get remote access working; that was just something I wanted for my particular setup.

          And I wouldn’t call the Jellyfin UI janky at all. I use it every day and can’t think of any common issues I encounter when using it. There surely are quirks with some features, but I find them few and far between. I recall Plex having its own UI quirks back when I used it.

            Unless it’s Arch, then everyone seems to agree it is the best Linux.

            At which I will point out it’s the second linuxiest Linux. Real penguins use Gentoo

                My kid installed Arch once upon a time. I was impressed and pleased with him, but also thinking that was way more work than I wanted to do to not use Windows. So I bought a Steam Deck.

          Smelly you say? May I recommend you apply some Mint with Cinnamon to spruce up that computer of yours?

          https://linuxmint.com/

          Take the most popular (for now) distro in Ubuntu, remove the proprietary Canonical stuff that makes people say eww, and give the UI some polish and you basically have Linux Mint. And if you REALLY want to reject Ubuntu in its entirety, they do have LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition).

      I used to love Star Trek until I hit that Tuvix episode. That triggered some things in my personal background. I tried to get over it but I can’t.

        Maybe the lower decks parody will help? It might equally make it worse though, you might want to read or have someone else read a synopsis

        Hahaha

        It’s half the reason everyone treats Janeway as a criminal. Like yeah overall she’s a fantastic captain. But she did straight up murder tuvix! He begged for life!

        If it’s any help, that show is a hot mess. There are some absolute banger eps, I absolutely love most of the cast, but on average it’s underwhelming.

        The guy who made BSG ranted a bit about working on Voyager. Apparently they weren’t allowed to change anything. Everything had to reset by the end of the episode. In a series about being stranded.

          He begged for life!

          I’m mixed-race but it wasn’t just seeing a mixed-race person sent to the death chamber. What really got to me was the way the character just wanted to get their work done but they were dragged away in a cold and bureaucratic way. They whimpered like a child being dragged from their parents. The kid was terrified but they still wanted to be obedient. It wasn’t that they were hoping to be saved by obedience, it’s that they were just an obedient kid, even when scared. The way when they begged to go on living, everyone else just stared and didn’t even move or react. They never really cared for that person anyway, the character’s kinda funny-looking anyways. If they made a fuss there might have been trouble. It’s not like any of them is some kind of hero. The only one to object was that holographic doctor, who was always treated as a joke. Because only a crazy person or a clown would go against the group. I looked it up online and the situation is never referenced again in any series. It was not an issue to anyone. All those people, the whole organization, the whole perspective of the show, to me is repulsive.

          But I was kind of a nervous kid, so I recognize it’s just my point of view.

      Hum… There are certainly way more than dozens. Both of those are on the millions, in a population of billions that means there would be thousands of people with both interests even if they were independent.

      Since I’ve started using Lemmy,

      1. My primary desktop OS has become Linux
      2. I have began identifying as genderfluid

      Lemmy pipeline real?

      I mean, honestly it’s been something I’ve been considering for ages (Linux). It’s just that I needed a new OC to play games (old CPU is from 2009 lol). And Windows 11 is ass and Proton works so well for games on Linux now. I’m very happy.

      Also genderfluid, happy pride heh, but that’s been a good thing too.
