I already do this. There are several apps for it but I really like Pinchflat because it has metadata settings for Jellyfin.
All I have to do is add a video to a playlist and it gets automatically downloaded. I use it for archival but there's nothing stopping you from making it the only way you consume YouTube content.
Same here. I've been using Lineage since it was Cyanogenmod and I've never encountered banking or payment apps not working.
That's pretty neat!
That's not really relevant to the discussion. The number of users doesn't matter. The point is that people will still create things even if there's no money in doing it.
Jellyfin is another example of something I use every day that is completely developed for free. The is no difference whether 100 people or 100 million people use it. It exists because the people who built it want it to exist.
If we didn't have copyright then people wouldn't be able to justify putting effort into creating content because they wouldn't be guaranteed financial compensation for the time and effort they put in.
The irony of saying this on Lemmy. Lemmy is piece of software developed and distributed for free to people who host it for free. If somebody truly wants to make something they will create it even without profit incentive.
You have to port forward Plex in some fashion for it to work properly. If you don't you are limited to 1 Mbps streams on their relay. That is lower bitrate than YouTube at 480p.
If your router has UPnP then the port fowarding is automatic on both Jellyfin and Plex. It's the exact same setup for both.
Setting up remote access is the same for Plex and Jellyfin so I'm confused. All you need to do is to forward port 8096 or use a reverse proxy like nginx if you want a domain.
I have plex.domain.com and jellyfin.domain.com and it was the exact same process for both.
In what way? I share my server with 8 friends/family and it does everything I need it to.
Or any proof of stake coin like Ethereum, which doesn't require any mining at all. The electricity argument is extremely out of date for most coins besides Bitcoin itself.
As far as I know GPU mining is pretty much completely dead because after Ethereum switched the yields on everything else tanked.
There's a reason it's won game of the year so many years in a row.
If pricing is a concern that shouldn't rule out a VPS. Managed seedboxes are way more expensive than setting it up yourself for the same amount of storage/bandwidth.
Go to lowendbox.com and/or use serverhunter.com to find a VPS that's more in your price range. I currently pay $22/mo for 8TB of storage and 50 TB of bandwidth at 1Gbps.
If you absolutely don't want to use a VPS for some reason, then I had a very good experience with feralhosting. I used them for 3 years without issue. But 8TB with them is around $75/mo compared to the $22/mo I'm paying now.
I have a 3.1 modem but my ISP only has 3.0 speeds as far as I can tell. 1000/100 is their highest plan so the extra doesn't really do anything.
My modem is 32x8 and I can see in the UI that only 4 of the 8 upload channels are actually bonded to reach that 100, which is half of the 200 that 3.0 can theoretically do.
