Jellyfin is generally what people are using now instead of Plex, including myself.

I want to like my jellyfin server but it has a bad habit of using 100% of my CPU while idling, and I still haven't figured out a fix yet

How are you personally doing remote streaming? I know some have used Tailscale/headscale, haven't looked into it much since I've been using Plex for over 10 years now...but want to slowly migrate off of it.
