You’re correct. The Fire Stick would be a client. I currently use a Pi 4 as my server and it works great, but I use KODI instead of jellyfin. This means that nothing trys to transcode when I use it. However, my brother is able to connect to my server through Tailscale and he does some sort of GPU pass thru with a jellyfin container and as far as I know it works great.

If you had told me 20 years ago that China would be closer to manifesting the Star Trek future I always wanted than the US, I would never have believed you. But here we are.

If you’re looking for mini PC recommendations, I have been very happy with my Beelink Ser8. It was chosen specifically for handbrake encoding and is an order of magnitude faster than my underpowered decade old desktop.

Edit. I just reread your post saying that you don’t want to buy a mini PC so disregard that advice but if you want to stream to TVs on a budget, I am a big fan of the Fire Stick. If you get them on sale, they’re usually available for half the listed price (about $25 when I got them). You can get them on ebay if you don’t want to support Bozos. Currently they’re very easy to configure and they work great as long as you can get over the clunky menu design.

I am just some rando but I think this poster may have meant tinymediamanager as opposed to tinymusicmanager. I use tinymediamanager and it’s great.

Do a jigsaw puzzle.

Afraid? Fear is the mind killer. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

It’s a stupid meme but it’s mine!

I’m sorry but those look more like fettuccine to me.

Guess that makes Bill Maher the exception that proves the rule.

This guy’s right. Isn’t that the one where they made Janet show us her titty? Never forget!

It’s not cheap to wage a war on your fellow citizens.

The report also found students were “reluctant to speak their minds, especially on controversial political issues”, with many admitting that “they self-censor regularly, avoid certain topics entirely, and doubt their administrators would defend free expression if controversy struck”.

I would be relectant to speak my mind in that situation too. Everything is recorded and uploaded now. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

I smell another taxpayer funded bailout for the rich on the horizon.

Mm hmm

The key question: Is this all high-minded political talk from people who will be gone when Mandarin becomes the lingua franca on the Moon?

Fucking nailed it right there. You can’t bully or bluster your way to the moon. It takes a willingness to continue projects over decades and that hasn’t existed at NASA for a long time. By the time China has established a presence at Shakelton, it will be too late for a wake up call. China is investing in science while we’re telling ours to leave for opportunities elsewhere. We’re burying the future and half the country is applauding it.

They were obviously trying to keep these guys from digging their way back up. Way to go, scientists. You’re part of a guerrilla marketing campaign for the Mummy 4 Peruvian Panic.

It’s a lizard. Headline reads like they discovered a sprite from super Mario.

I managed to solve it in the early 2000s with nothing other than a lot of time. I just messed with it whenever I was not typing at a customer service job. Definitely no genius required. Just persistance.

Found and updated the avoid 2g setting on my Pixel 6. I am running android 16.
