  • Look at it, DarkThoughts has some edgy thoughts about Epic!

  • It is harder than Plex though, with it you only need to get the installer and you are done, that if you are not CGNATED ofc...

    Plex's "simplicity" is not worth 100€ and the risk of enshittification, as it has to connect to their servers for authentication.

    I can't even recall since when I am a Plex Pass user, but it has been some years already that's for sure, I got the lifetime tier in a deal years ago and I have never felt the enshitification for my usage (which now paired with RD + Zurg+ Riven has only improved LMAO).

    And if they decided to "enshitify" to a degree that would affect my setup (highly unlikely) Jellyfin and Emby still are there for sure.

    Also good luck running Jellyfin in locked systems such as a PS4 or PS5... I was amazed several years ago when I watched a movie with my PSVR in that god awful low resolution in my PS4 through Plex lol.

  • Yeah, it is not free, but as the top suggestion lists Plex or Jellyfin I suppose OP is willing to get the content for him, and depending on OP's server you need to measure internet and electricity bills.

    Real Debrid (one of the cheaper, if not the cheapest debrid services) costs 4 eur per month or 9 eur per 3 months, that is cheaper than any official streaming service, and I'd dare to say it has more content than all the streaming services combined...

    Maybe OP can take that costs for him if he is willing to help him, that way at least he does not need to even bother to fetch content for him, and as I have said, it can be remotely set up, so it is pretty much set and forget it.

    Nothing wrong with using the RD subscription for OP himself and adding that perk to his Plex server though (Riven + Zurg), if his upload speed is fast enough then the only thing he would have to have in mind is to keep adding content.

  • It is indeed, I effectively ditched watching 1080p films from my Plex server to streaming 4K remuxes files from Stremio Kodi through RD.

    In a nutshell I stopped cherry picking which movies to get in 4K for my Plex Server due to storage issues and now I stream every movie that is available in said format, whether it is a "masterpiece" or not.

  • Or would debrid enable OP to host some stuff for their friend to access through stremio or something ?

    The debrid service caches the torrents in their servers and usually have better speeds than what the seeders provide, so you get the best experience while streaming and they deal with the DMCA strikes and such.

  • Alternatively to Plex, Stremio + a debrid account, you can set it up for them remotely and it is pretty easy to use, and you immediately get more content than all the streaming services combined lol.

  • I don't want to condone his attitude, but from my POV I think he/she has had enough of Jellyfin being the Linux of Windows (if that makes sense in a sentence).

    This is like a lost battle on Lemmy though.

  • (optimally docker), add a reverse proxy (if you want SSL with a domain)

    Yeah... This is self explanatory...

  • You scroll, the scrolled posts get marked as read, you can then hit that pretty button to clean up said read posts.

    Boom, you have the cleanest newer feed baby! (Unless there is an ongoing popular news lmao)

    This is how I browsed Reddit and now Lemmy all the way.

    My replacements for Sync that do this are:

    • Summit
    • Voyager
    • Boost
    • Eternity
  • The app is beyond broken for me since it stopped supporting mark read on scroll... The worst thing is that AFAIK this "new" change is just a minor code fix... But the dev is missing.

  • I don't know exactly why, but I always get back to Jackie Chan Stuntmaster when Christmas is near.

    I have been doing that since I am a kid (possibly not all Christmas days) and I have no intentions to change that :p

  • Would or actually do?

    I would (but haven't bothered) to pay for getting rid of CGNAT.

    I happily pay for my real debrid subscription.

  • All the existent ones?

  • You are right, although to be honest I have never used private tabs that way, I assume what you want to achieve is possible in other browsers.

  • Ah, I see.

    What you are describing is similar to me of how Chrome handles it on desktop, not a fan (I prefer STG, or Safari), but definitely better than nothing for a stock experience.

  • For real, Chromium browsers are way better in Android than FF...

    The sad thing is that I don't see when this prospect can change... I see (and install) countless updates for my Firefox Beta app and my experience has remained the same, it is especially subpar with tab management too...

  • Will this replace the Simple Tabs Group add-on?

  • This app has improved a lot, visually and in usability, good work.

    I hope you can add a minor "tweak" in the next releases, when making a comment (a post possibly too) the keyboard won't pop-up automatically, you need to press it to raise it.

    I do not remember if that has always been the case with this client, but just letting you know.

    Enjoy your break!

    Edit: Glad to see you took into consideration my comment, greetings :)

  • I understand the purpose of the Google app on Android, but what is the purpose to have the effort of installing it in iOS while you have "the power of Google" in safari or whatever browser you use?
