I’ve used it about 2 years now. I have both Jellyfin and even had Invidious for a while. I don’t even know it was against any terms until right now.

Well luckily for us all it’s not :-)

Most ISPs (especially smaller ones it seems) just run a basic DHCP server with leases expiring at a set interval. As long as your stuff is on and working when the lease renews, you’ll pull the same IP forever.

Dang. Not the company I was hoping.

If they’re using an eero router, I’m going to assume you’ll just have an ethernet cable from an ONT then into the router. Ask the installer if you need to use the eero or can you install your own router. That may alleviate some of your concerns.

I work for an ISP and self host. I have more things in place to track my usage than any ISP would put just because I make myself the guinea pig for new equipment and want to know exactly what is happening. You will never use a full 8 gig (at least as of now, obviously in the future that will change). If the extra money isn’t an issue do it, but if you can “girl math” the $30 price difference, stick with that for a year and spend the extra $360 you saved on multi-gig networking equipment, that’s what I’d do.

Yes please. What is QRD? Don’t need much details, just a quick intro.

Going from 100 Mbps to even a gigabit, if you’re self hosting, is going to be a huge difference. If you want my opinion, save yourself some money, go with the lowest speed over a gigabit and gradually buy equipment with the money you’d save compared to the 8 gigabit plan.

As for the router, can you either send a picture of it from the ISPs website or name the ISP? With 8 gig being the maximum, you’re going to be on XGS PON and I have a hunch I know what equipment you’re getting, but want to make sure I’m right.

I’ve had Jellyfin and Plex running using the same media directory for a couple years now. I think I had to make a couple small changes for things like seasons of a TV show to show up correctly, but nothing incredibly difficult. Definitely worth setting up and playing with periodically so when you do finally get sick of Plex, you’re ready to just switch.

Only thing I use Plex for exclusively now is when I’m flying, Plex has the Netflix style download option and Jellyfin just downloads the video file. I like Plex’s way better just from personal preference.

Stopped buying books from Amazon years ago. Still had 120 there from previous purchases. Definitely couldn’t just re-buy the books elsewhere.

This tool got the last of my library moved from Amazon so I DON’T have to buy from them again.

I also have loved Zooz and Z Wave. Definitely easily to use.

So the problem with thin margins on the hardware side is what’s stopping a user from just installing their own OS once they figure out they can do the same thing you’re doing on the same hardware?

I mean, if you’re making a conscious effort to read that totally wrong…. yeah, that’s what it says.

As of right now, there’s not much available for the X Elite processors.

I did actually buy the Yoga laptop with the X Elite from Lenovo about a month ago. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a better experience with Windows. I can leave the thing in standby mode for days and see maybe 4 or 5 percent battery drain. If I’m using ARM native apps, I can use it for 8 hours without charging easily and get through a work day with about 20 to 30 percent battery to spare. With x86 apps, it does use a bit more power, but battery life is still pretty good. I’d estimate 8-9 hours before totally dead.

Hopefully development picks up more on the Linux side because I can’t wait to see how much better the battery life would be.

Just to clear up confusion, the Thinkpad you linked is an older model. There is a new one with the Elite processor OP talked about.

From everything I can tell though, Lenovo has been very active getting Linux ready for ARM Thinkpads, so I’d assume it could be coming soon.

Let’s be real, it’s in those companies best interest that we never know even if they are seeing that. As soon as someone got a DMCA notice because their Roku told the government they pirated Deadpool, there would be a massive amount of damage control required.

Yeah, my first thought was it was missing the dude whose dick cost him a medal.

Someone much smarter than me can weigh in, but wouldn’t that be preferable in a place that could regularly see massive storms?

This way the whole state doesn’t lose power because a hurricane obliterated part of the state?

And I’m sure those grids must sell power between themselves when necessary.

I guarantee you half the people are here and got started self-hosting BECAUSE they wanted to start pirating.

Relax guys. It’s a Nintendo Switch, those things never get hacked.

Yeah, I see both parts of this.

BOOX advertises “Super Refresh” which makes eink almost able to play a YouTube video. There’s a lot of software (and probably hardware) development there.

Google still issues security patches for Android 12 as well.

It could be much worse. At least BOOX issues updates….

“This has been what the last month of my life has been like.”

Is a perfectly acceptable and infinitely more understandable statement lol
