We’re in the early hype phase of a new innovation fad. It’ll die down and then we’ll find out what it’s ACTUALLY useful for.

I came to the exact same decision a few months ago.

DDG used to be worse; now it’s better.

The nice thing about Jellyfin is that you can point Jellyfin and Plex to the same media folders and both will work, to try it out.

I would get a Synology with intel Quicksync if you go the Synology route for hardware transcoding. Unfortunately, a lot of the new models don’t have it.

I just have a 220+ but would maybe get a 4 bay model if I did it again.

Jellyfin + Synology NAS was a great investment for me! ;)

Wouldn’t go back.

Tax deductible doesn’t mean it costs you nothing.

Yes but I figured a pretty good approximation. I’m actually curious how much of a difference it would actually make.

Which is basically the same since 1g of water is 1ml.

Same, it’s great!

Wireguard is just much faster connection-wise. Built into the kernel too. Since it came out I haven’t gone back to openvpn.

Nothing wrong with openvpn otherwise. More config options.

Something like Tailscale makes wireguard setup dead easy.

It’s just so easy.

Headscale if you want to self host.

Earth’s response, “yeah man, it was DEFINITELY your fault!!”

I’m pretty technical… but I love my Synology.

It just works. Obvious choice for those that aren’t techy.

Interface is riddled with stuff that isn’t on my local network.

I just want something to manage the stuff on my local network!

Anyways… I now use Jellyfin a lot for the above reasons … until it doesn’t work lol.

Personally I recommend just using KeePassXC and a KeePass app (I use KeePassium on iPhone).

You always have access to all your data that way. No company is monitoring you. A lot of apps make it very difficult to backup!

My totp database is in the cloud for syncing but needs a key file I don’t keep in the cloud (and a password). My passwords are entirely separate.

Yeah… increasing the minimum wage with productivity is not how capitalism works.

Just a bunch of dragons sitting on hoards of treasure.

I use an aeropress and Silverblue. Seem right?

Google used to be better. Lately though, I really am noticing a decline in search quality.

I’m using ddg. It used to be noticeably worse than google; now Google is noticeably worse than ddg.

Same. I was so annoyed with windows slow, useless search at work (I search for pdfs all day) I just wrote a Python program that does that job much, much better.
