For those who want something like Plex used to be (self hosted, simple, fast, beautiful, no bullshit spam), definitely check out Emby. I’ve been using it for years and it’s fantastic!

I use parsec to play retro games with my mates by streaming from my pc. Works really well!
Permadeath programming, love it
That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!
Only if it turns up in a search result for something. I refuse to install their crappy app on my phone and Lemmy scratches enough of the itch that I haven’t been tempted back
I miss FBF
Yup, I’ve done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit’s app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone…
Can see you from my local instance :)
Wow, I wonder how long this will last!
I’ve been using Emby for a few years after Plex just became worse and worse, relying on cloud logins and being unreliable, pushing their own junk content above my library etc. Emby reminds me of what plex used to be, it’s amazing!
Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!
Inb4 YouTube starts charging for API access… too soon? :(
Cannot updoot enough, I love this game. Best RTS I’ve ever played!
Free is always the best price! I’ve been using a Sonarr/SABnzbd/Emby setup on my home built NAS (unRAID) for about 7 years now. Until recently I had about 9.5TB of shows but then got ransomwared :(. Got about 4 of it back now and counting!
It varies hugely. Rocket League is my most played on Steam and I think I’m at around 1700 hours, but that’s the kind of game I’ve played on and off for years. The other worst was Foxhole which I managed to rack up 600 hours in over a couple of months. Usually for a game I like it’ll be 100-200 hours, but it does vary hugely.
Good point - I did find torrents a lot more fiddly to set up though.
At least it gives us plenty of mildly infuriating content!
It seems like PeerTube does allow peer to peer streaming of watched videos too, so that might help mitigate the bandwidth requirements. The storage and transcoding requirements will be far larger than things like Lemmy though, agreed.
Agreed. Sensible to only do the incoming too, I had an outgoing one and it got hijacked because SMTP security seems to default to ‘least secure’. For example if there is a single character out of place in the config file, I found it basically opened everything up rather than reporting an issue :)
Yeah, definitely a Memmy thing. Happened to me too.
