Man, I would. I am 100% the target demographic, jumped in the 3D TV rabbit hole and loved it. Totally knew it was a gimmick, but didn’t care. Would have friends over for 3D movie parties.
But adding them to my Plex server sucked. TAB or SBS files were half-assed and the PlayStation I used took sooooooo damn long to freaking start the movie and skipping was an issue.
Why stop at chrome. Break off Android too. They are shitting all over that now.
I get what you are saying, but in the case of the internet, you need an IP address to connect rather than simply exist with a computer. Someone needs to know where to send the data.
There are however free connections: unsecured neighbors wifi, city wifi, hotels, and even busses/trams. Lots have limitations to hogging bandwidth though.
Not much resale, but solar panels are fun to tinker with. Though it’s best not to live under a glistening dome of stolen crap. Sort of a giant red flag.
Welcome to the secret internet when all your neighbors stop hogging it! (Well, less of a thing these days)
I was an early adopter of a cable modem with AT&T before download bandwidth caps. When the neighborhood went dark, I jumped to my computer and beeping UPS to download everything I could to find my max speed.
That is either a tiny hand or alarming large cat! Wowsers!
Yup. Results come back listing the server the file resides on.
I run multiple Plex servers and just pin libraries to the main screen. It’s pretty straightforward.
EDIT: Oh! Do you mean Plex and jellyfin on the same interface? Sorry, no clue on that one.
I thought about this years ago and my best solution was a system to establish a profile, like a vCard with public/private keys that would generate SHA keys to authenticate with services to forward/verify communications. Instead of email, a key and domain or MX; instead of phone numbers a SHA number.
The user could burn contacts or accept invites and stuff.
I got that too following a link a friend sent. Seems they stepped up the blocking for some residential addresses now.
Or some other reason. I stopped rummaging through that site years ago.
First thing that comes to mind is a mechanic’s stethoscope.
Edit: basically 8adger’s screwdriver trick but I have one in my Kit of Resourcefulness™
I have many, many tabs and dashboards, but here are a few.
That’s the route I took too. NAS for storage and simple docker containers, Minipc for compute/GPU.
I just got a cheap minipc to tinker with and it had windows 11. Not bad and unexpected.
First thing I did was wipe and install Ubuntu of course because that’s what I wanted.
Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.
If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.
Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.
Me neither. But eventually I’ll be forced to somehow too.
Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.
I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that’s totally not the point. Hmmm…
While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that’s handed out for getting caught.
More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don’t care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.
Even though there are some cloud services like remote server management, proxies, and 3rd party integration, I do actually have to run the software myself on my hardware. Hence, self hosted.
