Plex Pass has two features which I consider to be invaluable. Intro/Credit skip, when an intro or credit sequence is playing a button on screen will pop up allowing you to skip to the end. This even works well with movies with end credit scenes, it will just skip right to them. The other is transcoding, which if you're streaming locally is not really required. Personally, I have dozens of users and some require transcoding because their internet connections are slower than my blu ray rips. Join us at [email protected]

Its like the old adage, you can't get something that is Good, Fast and Cheap. Pick two.
Jellyfin is free, but requires a more technical set up and does lack some minor features that Plex has and client availability is not as good (No Xbox/Playstation apps as far as I know). On the other hand Plex has a more feature rich product that is just that, a product. Plex Pass is not required, but it is very useful for server owners. It's a tough sell to most people, and as a lifetime Plex pass holder, I would say the lifetime pass is the only one worth getting. Going month to month or evenly yearly is a huge waste of money.
Speaking very broadly here, I define conservatism as needing an out of power group to shame/ostracize. Looking at Japan, 98% of the population is ethnically Japanese. 2% is immigrants. Hell I bet most of the people reading this already know the Japanese word for outsider without me even having to say it. It's a lock that Japanese conservatives are every bit as shitty as English or American conservatives.
He fits into all of Kens clothes!
Dan Stevens is taking over the role of Corvo, they put out a short video with the recast last month https://youtu.be/IyTANvYnbD8
lol imagine being so poor you can't afford 10 dollars a month
Hard agree with Usenet. If you're doing sonarr/radar stuff save yourself tons of stress and hook into usenet
Do you use a vpn with usenet? Is it even necessary as you aren’t hosting like with torrents?
I don't use a vpn because it would really slow down the speed and everything is downloading via https anyway so its encrypted. Your ISP will see you hitting usenet servers, but thats all. Milage may vary with how tolerate your ISP is towards this.
Have you found it easier to find less popular titles/things that there just doesn’t seem to be seeded torrents for?
Absolutely. The insane thing about usenet is retention. If it was uploaded 10 years ago to usenet, its still there. Available at max speed. No more dead torrents. I was in the same boat with users requesting stuff I couldn't find, with usenet its way way better.
They'll let old.reddit sit around for a little while longer because of the push back they got from API changes. But I suspect by this time next year it'll be gone too and we'll get another wave leaving reddit.
This comment is me, last year. Its really not that hard don't let it intimidate you! All you really need is 3 things:
- Download Client. Usenet has file size limits, so files are broken into zip archives. A download client such as SABnzbd will automatically unpack for you.
- Usenet provider. Such as Eweka (Based in Europe) or Newshosting. This will cost about 5-10 bucks a month.
- Usenet indexer. Indexer is used for searching usenet. Think pirate bay. I personally use https://nzbgeek.info. NZB geek costs 1 dollar a month or 80 for a lifetime membership.
Yeah usenet costs money, but god damn its such a premium experience. Every single download is going to cap out your connection, never wait for seeds again.
Shh!!! lemm.ee is slow and overloaded, no need to register here. 👀
Lemmy is decentralized but completely connected together. I am on lemm.ee but I can still subscribe and comment to Lemmy.world or any number of other communities. The website you type in to visit Lemmy doesn't matter. All Lemmy instances go to the same place. OP is arguing that a large centralized instance is bad which I don't think anybody can disagree with. Lemmy.world has been down like every day. Tons of stability/DDOS issues but that only affects communities/users localized on that instance. Problem is that's like half of the active Lemmy users right now.
