From what I can tell the server issues has been fixed. They are always making improvements.

For the what I was trying to use it for it ended up not working for me. I was trying to build up a Plex server. But they didn’t want to have a large cache so started removing anything that wasn’t used in a few days. And didn’t reset the “timer” when you use it over WebDAV/rclone.

I decided to just use real debrid because their cache is HUGE. But sadly they dont seed or have Usenet.

I had already paid for a year of torbox so I still use it regularly for one off downloads not related to my Plex. I will probably still renew my subscription to keep using it for this. Though probably drop to a cheaper tier. I really like that it seeds the torrents and has Usenet.

I hope one day I can fully replace RD with it, but I dont expect it anytime soon. The programs I use for my Plex setup where all adding tor box support when I made my original comment, but mostly dropped it when torbox changed their cache policy.

I use Localsend to send files between my computers. Also to family and friends if they are local at the time. I keep seeing magic-wormhole mentioned on Lemmy. Do you know if wormhole is better somehow? Is it worth me trying it?

I dont have an apple TV myself yet. But I can tell you one thing. Pretty much all the androids including my google TV Chromecast doesn’t have codec support for the dolby audio like truehd. Its so annoying I can’t play hardly any of the 4k movies I have on Plex. Looks like my options is to ether switch to apple TV, a nivida shield pro, or by a HTPC.

Its a lot simpler then that. Dont add them to your tailscale account. Each user should have there own tailscale account. Then you just send them a link to share your machine (your server) with their tailnet. Then all of there devices they have added on their account can access your server.

Bonus: send them referrals and you get your device limit increased when they make a account. Which all they have to do is sign in with their google or apple account.

This is the way.

Unexpected good elon take. Patents and copyright laws have probably held us back at least 50 years worth in advancements. So much R&D is just solving problems that have already been solved.

I’m actually not familiar with this distro. But if I installed a Linux distro, and it had brave installed. I would immediately switch.

Just buy the lifetime Plex pass before the price goes up then.

If you have Plex pass you dont have to worry about it. Others can still remote play from your server free. Actually more so because the mobile app is free for them too now.

Deceptive title. If the person hosting the server has Plex pass then it’s still free for other users to use remote playback.

Indeed. I’m not sure when they added mobile support back, but it wasn’t there when I last looked for it. Guess its time for me to move my PWAs out of brave now. Thanks.

Yes, they did that when the EU made the ruling about allowing other app stores. Apple doesn’t like PWAs cause they lose their 30% cut. Hopefully we some ruling or law that they have to treat them equal to native apps.

I dont use many PWA’s since I had to run them on chromium before. But as a web Dev and even more so as a user, I feel like PWA’s are the way to go. They completely avoid all the app stores drama plus the 30% fees. Also the devs get to deploy instant updates without the delay going through the app stores. Just like any other web app. If done right I could see them replacing most native apps. Assuming we can get apple to allow PWAs full CPU usage. Currently they are throttling them from what I understand.

Edit: To clarify I’m speaking about mobile. I’ve never even tried PWAs on desktop and can’t imagine why I would use that over browser+bookmarks.

Zen is pretty cool.

For real. I’ve been on a search for a good one and they are all sooo bad. definitely trying this one later.

Check out torbox. Its like a seedbox/debrid but the pro plan also comes with Usenet. I just started using it but seems really promising.

They have been having a lot off issues lately because they don’t have enough servers yet. They are supposed to get new servers setup this week.

Nextcloud or a samba server are good options. But if storage is not a issue I’d recommend checking out syncthing. I run it on my server and sync some directories to my phone and other directories to my desktop. And one directory between phone and desktop(obsidian notes). I don’t think you can run sycthing on iphones though.
