Yeah that’s definitely true. I gladly pay for Emby and thing it’s worth every penny for how I use it. Jellyfin has got to be the best free+open one for sure.

It is, but also incredibly quick, easy to use etc.

Everything Plex used to be in the good old days imo!

Not forgetting Emby allows either a local or a federated account!

Why does nobody ever mention Emby? To me, it’s everything Plex used to be before it got enshittified!

lol, not been a great couple of years for those guys

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Some super interesting new finds - this game really is the gift that keeps on giving!

For those who want something like Plex used to be (self hosted, simple, fast, beautiful, no bullshit spam), definitely check out Emby. I’ve been using it for years and it’s fantastic!

Absolutely. It really depends what you want to do. Jump straight into the frontline meat grinder and you’ll be able to dip out whenever you like. You could even do some basic logistics runs in that time. Start building bases or factories and that’s when there’s a huge time commitment lol

Uhh… Baldur’s Gate 3?

I use parsec to play retro games with my mates by streaming from my pc. Works really well!

That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!

Appreciate the transparency here, keep up the great work <3

Can see you from my local instance :)

Best way to do it is to get one of the open source doom engines that’s *nix compatible and move your WADs over!

Wow, I wonder how long this will last!

I’ve been using Emby for a few years after Plex just became worse and worse, relying on cloud logins and being unreliable, pushing their own junk content above my library etc. Emby reminds me of what plex used to be, it’s amazing!

Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!

Inb4 YouTube starts charging for API access… too soon? :(

A great question. Probably Norman just so he can randomly say “What’s happening, dudes?”, but Hattie had some pretty good lines too, she could bang her head on the screen to count things.

Majel Barratt is a great shout - I’d probably go for Data or Picard though :). Or maybe Holly from Red Dwarf?
