I think you are definitely getting into overkill territory here with a server rack dedicated to Plex and a GPU. Most igpus on Intel chips can transcode 10+ 1080p streams and 2ish 4k streams. Unless you have 100 users seems over kill to me.

Edit. I’m on Unraid with about 30 users, and I only give Plex and all my other containers 6 cores from an i7 10700k.

I would say the benefit of OpenSUSE is that everything is preconfigured to work right out of the box, including btrfs snapshotting with snapper. Once you boot it’s time to download apps, and go. Very windows like for those who just want the system to work. Updates are one click.

Oh my god, I remember the Maher bit, you could tell Bill was getting pissed off about this guy coming on and spewing conspiracy theories. Actively rooting against Brand ever since! I believe all these allegations are probably true, as Brand seems to have a very tenuous relationship with reality.

Choosing death by starvation is not a choice. Work or die, slave.

Authoritarianism (or vertical/hierarchical power structure) is THE defining characteristic of the right. “Auth-left” is Doublethink; an oxymoron meant to distract from the fact that wealth and power are one and the same.

This is so incredibly naive. Stalin? Mao? Evil authoritarianism comes in all flavors left and right. If you truly believe leftists aren’t capable of evil you need to study more history.

Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They’re down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn’t fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It’s also one of the most recommended Lemmy’s with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world

Change default remote quality from 4Mbps to 12Mbps

Holy shit are they doing this for all platforms??? FINALLY!!!

I don’t want to be on an instance that defederates instances based on any ideology. Originally I signed up for beehaw.org but saw they were defederating with instances who “didn’t share their inclusive views” That’s fine as it is their instance I guess, but I deleted my account. If your ideology of choice needs censorship to back it up, maybe it’s not that great. I want my all to be EVERYTHING porn nazis communists I don’t give a shit. ALL MEANS ALL

No no no no no. We don’t want to people to join and enjoy our near 100% uptime. Also be warned that lemm.ee isn’t de-federated with lemmynsfw so you’ll get PORN on your all feed. The horror. Steer clear.

From what I understand, the KDE team used to use OpenSUSE as their distro of choice when testing KDE. This has changed now to KDE Neon being the flagship KDE experience. Also OpenSUSE will install Nvidia Drivers during install if you select that option. You’ll have to enable the Nvidia repo later on too. But it’s dead simple. Definitely give OpenSUSE a try. I’ve been using for a few months now on my laptop and it’s fantastic. It just works, including BTRFS snapshotting, right out of the box.

Here is the solution you are looking for: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200890058-authentication-for-local-network-access/

Basically you can add IPs (such as your local domain) to bypass authentication. The only caveat is that you must be online when you set this. IE: You can’t do it during an outage.

I present Bonarr. It’s deprecated but the name is hilarious lol

I’m so glad idiots like you aren’t in charge of policy in Minnesota.

Plex Pass has two features which I consider to be invaluable. Intro/Credit skip, when an intro or credit sequence is playing a button on screen will pop up allowing you to skip to the end. This even works well with movies with end credit scenes, it will just skip right to them. The other is transcoding, which if you’re streaming locally is not really required. Personally, I have dozens of users and some require transcoding because their internet connections are slower than my blu ray rips. Join us at [email protected]

Its like the old adage, you can’t get something that is Good, Fast and Cheap. Pick two.

Jellyfin is free, but requires a more technical set up and does lack some minor features that Plex has and client availability is not as good (No Xbox/Playstation apps as far as I know). On the other hand Plex has a more feature rich product that is just that, a product. Plex Pass is not required, but it is very useful for server owners. It’s a tough sell to most people, and as a lifetime Plex pass holder, I would say the lifetime pass is the only one worth getting. Going month to month or evenly yearly is a huge waste of money.
