can the title be changed to "Why don't more developers use browser native features?"


Where I live, you can get made-to-measure shirts. I think it’s overkill to wear suits just because your body proportions are unusual.


i expected some undervolting tutorial or something


pronounced `go toe`


Unlike the Fortran statement which is pronounced `jo toe`.


what is your hardware problem?


I’m running Plex via Docker on a Synology NAS. This has been working fine. When I tried to fire up a Jellyfin container, it was painfully slow. Clients barely worked. It wasn’t a good experience. It was several months ago, so I don’t remember all the details.


I don’t know if it’s a synology related problem or just Jellyfin but I have never gotten it running well. Even when it’s running I always get hiccups like server crashed a week later but appears green and running. Or trouble logging into the server using a third party client. Plex has always been perfect for me.


I run Jellyfin in Docker on an N100 mini PC without problems.


My nas has an N100 because I wanted to avoid Synology's shite CPU offerings. I similarly have had no issues.


I’ve been running Plex on various devices for many years and have been impressed by the stability and usefulness. Grandfathered on the old lifetime subscription but I get that $750 seems excessive.


I just set up Jellyfin on an 1819 this weekend and so far it seems great, dunno if it’s improved or my device has bit more oomph - the ui on some devices is not as nice as plex but it’s been great


Jellyfin has a lot of alternative unofficial apps partly because of it ui as some people that did not like the look built something else. That is the case for almost every client OS


Hmmm, seems like that is not true for Roku which is specifically the one that is bad - maybe I'll just grab an Onn or something


I wonder if it was just a start up issue? Some kind of initial scan of your database?


I waited for all that to finish. I tried to help it along by going through everything so it would cache it all. It wasn’t as straightforward as Plex’s visual, flipping covers over as the metadata loads in for each movie, providing a clear queue and sense of progress.

Once on the client side, it felt like those also needed to cache things. The only client that worked semi-well wasn’t a Jellyfin client, but could read from a Jellyfin server. I think it was called InFuse. With that as well, I spent hours simply navigating the app, going to every page, and waiting for it to cache everything so I could then navigate around. Then if I added something new, I needed to go to a page to show it and get it cached.


Could be the hardware acceleration was not mounted to the container.


You already failed. We don't say hey to machines.


Alexa has an existential crisis.


Indeed. We address them as Siri, Alexa or Google.


this could be an alternative to fandom.com


There are already alternatives to Fandom. I volunteer with Miraheze.org, which hosts wikis without all of the ads, has been up since 2015, and has recently become a US nonprofit. We're currently geared towards more technical users, but we're trying to make more tooling to simplify wiki administration as we've taken on more users.

I also hear wiki.gg is pretty good, but they're focused on gaming wikis. A lot of Fandom wikis jumped ship to them (of course Fandom is like Hotel California, you can check out any time you like but your wiki content will never come down).


Or just self-host, Mediawiki is pretty easy to setup, even for a large wiki.

I hear the folks running the Baldur’s Gate 3 wiki are doing so with a server that costs less than $20 a month and they’re hitting serious traffic numbers.


> of course Fandom is like Hotel California, you can check out any time you like but your wiki content will never come down

And Jimmy Wales' Fandom puts enough effort into SEO that combined with their size their version will likely appear in search results before the actually useful ad-free community run wiky :|


Also, if you want your own free MediaWiki instance, you could try : https://www.wikibase.cloud/


Yes, technically you'll also get a MediaWiki instance there, but the point is really to offer Wikibase (which is a set of extensions upon MediaWiki), the software behind Wikidata.


they really do close account. my account was deleted. probably because it only has giveaway games and i never played any of them.


i put my email address to get notification when the film is edited. to my surprise, it's actually a project by MSCHF. a hypebeast shop? glad i use a throwaway email.


this is like writing jsx but without compiler


RxHTML is the compiler.
