Yup, mine aswell

I really do love this newsletter

I’m not here to answer your question about “other sensitive communities” but to comment on your case of vampire survivors.

I’ve never played the game, never intented to but i’ve heard enough about it and have seen enough of it.

The way you describe your opinion here lets me assume how you’ve written your post over on that community. You simply say "People do not want games to feel like it’s a job […] and while that may be your opinion it’s 1) not everyones opinion and 2) just because the game feels like a job FOR YOU, doesn’t mean that it feels like that for everyone.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with making a grindy “addictive” game loop if there are not MTX behind it to “harvest” that addiction.

So i think that’s the reason your post got deleted… not because they are “sensitive” but because you think you know better than people and that your opinion is “the truth”

It’s chrism

Also i find that the speed of scanning, getting metadata, accuracy of linking metadata and files, the whole music section is lacking on jellyfin comparing to Plex

Still I prefer jellyfin as its free and open source and it does what I want it to do. But in my experience Plex did all of this way better, faster, more accurately and reliable… And jellyfin music category is outright unusable compared to plex

I am talking solely about the server side, not the player side.

Obviously a good functioning player will not need hw accellerated transcoding or hdr conversion. But sometimes that’s simply neither possible or feasable. Some hardware simply cannot properly transcode all formats, or don’t allow for installation of a player that can do that. Sometimes i watch a movie on my laptop while being connected to my phone mobile hotspot and using wireguard to phone home, i don’t want to direct stream a full movie in hdr and 1080p 40mbit/s… i want the server to transcode it properly.

So to conclude - i am talking about serverside, not playerside - stop assuming the person you are talking with doesn’t know what they do simply because you think you know better.

No i am not talking about the player as hw accell and hdr conversion runs on the server itself

The server is not bulletproof and in my experience plex ran better for me than jellyfin.

I have to say, Plex is a much more polished and more reliable piece of software in my experience.

I’ve used Plex for a couple of years and even got myself a lifetime premium pass when it was 65% reduced or something. But when news started popping up about them potentially leaking what content you watch i burned that bridge (look at the instance i come from, you can guess where my content stems from :D)

I then migrated over to jellyfin. It’s not as polished, it doesn’t run that reliable for me as plex did, hw accell, hdr convertion didn’t setup as easy but after a lot of tinkering it now works very fine for me.

I really enjoy jellyfin and the ecosystem that evolved around it.

I switched from Plex to jellyfin solely for that reason

Also hw accell being free in jelly aswell

Obsidian with tasks and kanban Plugin. Open them side by side

And immediately goes in here and breaks a rule here lol

(Don’t use dm’s as they don’t count as proof)

Hyprland on my desktop

GNOME on my laptop

Interesting!

I’ll try it out

IT here, Plesse don’t involve us… We don’t want to to deal with this bs either

Asahi Team is literally poking around some dark magic at this point

Yeah but as far as i know, unraid doesn’t really do anything that for example TrueNAS Scale can’t do? And TrueNAS is free and really rock-solid.

So if someone doesn’t want to host an Ubuntu Server i’d recommend checking out TrueNAS Scale and simply throwing some dockers at it

I never used unraid but was thinking about it

I went to truenas for my NAS and Ubuntu server for my application server instead. I use dockge for my docker webui and I’m happy with that setup

i prefer to say i ddg’ed it on kagi but to each their own :D

ah good to know, will try this then - thanks!

wouldn’t trust that tbh
