Go China Go!

Chinese mini pc / mac mini knockoff + enterprise-class external drive array is how I typically handle my media server, I sometimes backup to another drive or a cloud (I know, I know)

Well, I don't know. Cloudflare seems to be the standard, again with that one exception, and the only reason PTB has a different situation is because the founders had a connect.

This post is making fun of plex. Fuck Plex.

Fuck you Plex

Wow, Cloudflare is against piracy? Every single site I've ever seen in my life is registered with Cloudflare and uses their DNS with the exception of PTB I believe.

With tailscale you either have to 1) download an app and click a button on every device you want to watch Jellyfin or 2) click a few buttons once, and then access your Jellyfin on the open internet forever with HTTPS

Plex is the most plug-in-play, I understand not wanting to go through setting it up, but you're not accurately portraying how difficult it actually is to access. It is not difficult to access, but you have to set everything up yourself.

For music you've got to add a background and make it a 'music video', then it works, but mostly it's for video

Headscale, Netbird, so many alternatives that do the same thing.

Tailscale

Jellyfin is miles better and Plex fucking spies on you
