Jellyfin is pretty good, and I've been using it in place of Plex for the last few years. However, I feel like there are some underlying limitations that I just can't get past:

1. the UI jank. The thumbnail tiles are slow to load, even on a local network. Searches and filters flicker as you type and take a while to return. Scrolling fast in the web UI gets choppy/laggy.

2. The native app (at least in the case of Apple TV) is either nonexistent or terrible. I've been using Swiftfin since it was one of the first alpha versions, and it constantly lost pairing with my Jellyfin instance. When it did work, which was very cryptic and usually required re-enrolling the client every time, it would randomly fail to load things, and the UI was very choppy as well. I haven't used the native apps on other platforms, but I imagine they are equally or more janky, because the Apple TV is comparatively very beefy hardware-wise vs. most other platforms.

3. The polling for new media is slow. I upped it to 10 minutes (the quickest possible setting) but I shudder to think what a full scan of a media library every 10 minutes is doing to my disks. Why doesn't it use file watchers and webhooks for new content notification?

4. The homepage has very little actionable info and doesn't work for browsing. It's not like Netflix or any of the other services where you can boot it up and see a bunch of different categories, as well as your "list". It has playlists, but you have to drill down to see them. You can go to "Movies -> Suggestions" and it has a little bit, but nothing like Netflix does. No real recommendation engine.

5. You have to maintain your own trailers or use an app like Infuse that can download its own trailers.

6. You have to separately configure tiles to be rendered if you want a nice seeking experience where it shows a live preview as you scrub through the timeline.

7. Movies and TV Shows are separated even though pretty much every other platform doesn't separate them, which requires you to click into one of 2 options before you can do almost anything.

That said, it's still far better and less janky than Plex was before I switched, and Infuse actually plays back HDR / Dolby Vision content correctly.

Does anyone else have qualms with Jellyfin? And how does Plex compare to any of these gripes?

This chaos absolutely reminds me of one of the recent-ish stories from Tesla and, as a root cause, basically every story from Twitter since he bought it.
Most instances publish lists of who they block. It's a user's choice if they decide to register at an instance that does not publish that list.

Because you can give your friends a login, they can log in from anywhere, and watch your content.
Same for you. You can log in from anywhere and do that. Kodi is more of a local thing, I find the two compliment each other very well.
There are native apps for jellyfin as well. Loaded up and hit play.
I guess you can probably do this with Kodi but it hasn't been designed from the ground up for this use case.
You might like nandgame.com. It's the same ideas but in a visual drag-and-drop format, which can make it a little easier to get your head around some of the ideas. I found it helpful to work through all the exercises there and then go back to the Nand2Tetris course.
Speaking of which, what are the alternatives to the Kindle?

I absolutely want the light because I read in bed a lot and I don't need a lamp on that way.

I don't care about any fancy functions besides reading epub. To be honest, I don't think I want any fancy functions. I only use the ereaders for reading fiction, if I'm going through a technical pdf I use a computer and either a separate text editor or paper for notes.

Built in stores don't count either, I'm not above going to guaranteed DRM free sources.

What's left then at the Kindle price range?
yeah, but for some people no amount of evidence is enough, only if Putin, the Ruzzian minister for Invasions or Fighter Bomber confirms it then and only then they will belive Ruzzia could do a mistake or soemthing bad.
Did you ever start that non-tech business?
Same experience and then you are being downvoted for sounding disappointed. As if it’s justified in some convoluted way - this sort of geoblock.

Since google, everyone trying replicate this feature... (OpenAI, HF..)

It's powerfull yes, so as asking an A.I and let him sythezise all what he fed.

I guess the air is out of the ballon from the big players, since they lack of novel innovation in their latest products.

This is also the first time I've ever heard the phrases "guarded defense" and "caught rebounds".

> The reason is because the imported good already paid taxes in the country it was produced in.

The German corporate tax rate is 29.9% vs 21% for the US (from googling). If Germany is anything like my nearby country there are also additional taxes which the US may or may not have (probably not).

Why doesn't the US just raise their own sales tax on both imports and domestic products?
This. I treat it as a failure if I have to brake. My original tires are still good after 3 years as well

No, while you mirror, you are not in control. But sure, you can decide to stop the mirroring that you started even though now it puts you in a worse situation than where you started. Say, Lula sets the import tax at 100% - will Trump say "that's too high a number for me, I fold"? In that case, he wanted the rates to be the same but now the difference is even higher.
I see this:

> This led me to my next and (currently) final stop, Kullish, which searches through a number of link aggregation and discussion websites (including Reddit) for a URL before providing a single feed of comments from everywhere.

But reddit for instance disallows everything in its robots.txt
This sounds like you want an AI to turn bullet points into text so that the PM's AI can turn it back into bullet points and vice-versa.

Don't you think that it might be more efficient to just communicate with the bullet points?
In the other direction I like Skull as a pure bluff game without all the pot odds (there is still a bit of odds of course)
That would require commitment, so I think we're probably safe.
I, for one, look forward to seeing the mess that results from the C-Suite lemmings all marching off the LLM cliff with their companies in tow.
Another way of playing is just simple buy low sell high without considering the goal suit. The reward for this style of playing isn't as high as correctly deducing the goal suit, but it's adequately successful. I think this is similar to market making: no matter how the market moves, the market maker makes a small amount of money regardless.
Plex has a lot more polish. However, Plex also tries to shove stuff down your throat. If you want to share your meeting with friends, you need to have a Kodi pass or some bollocks. Jellyfin is 100% free.
Certainly it is not as polished though, but I managed to use it with my friend who are not very technically literate, and it works very well for them.
Every release improve the polish a little!

Edit: New media shows up for me pretty much straight away without having to do anything. Not sure what's happening there for you.

I mean step 1 would be raising wages at all levels, something that a capitalist economy is going to oppose at every step of the way as it limits capital acquisition and reduces investment returns.

To me it seems pretty obvious why someone making $40,000 a year doing some trade and/or taking off 1-2 decades of their lifespan and quality of life is pissed and opposed to the status quo when they see investors and capital owners and politicians making consistently brain dead decisions yet still raking in millions. Watching corporations buy out and legislate away small businesses and replacing them with corporate versions that cost more money while reducing their service capabilities and competence.

Its the luddite situation repeating over and over again. Groups of smart individuals working together build something greater, but someone at the top of the capital pile claims or buys all the credit while firing and replacing, or offshoring now, all the individuals who actually did the work and actual innovation, and economic imbalance results in turmoil and rage until it finally boils over and people start destroying looms. Because instead of all the auto-looms they built benefiting everyone, it mostly only benefits a handful of individuals who claimed ownership, while pushing everyone else in a race to the bottom as their old small business models get crushed by the legal and financial departments of the big cats.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. Emby used to be open source, when it went closed source Jellyfin was formed off of it.

AV1 playback works on devices that support it. You'll need server-side transcoding for devices that don't. Jellyfin can do this by shelling out to FFMPEG, which can optionally use hardware accelerated codecs if they're available to it. So basically, "it depends", but Jellyfin itself supports AV1 media.
The VAT is a consumption tax, not a production tax. It's totally agnostic to where the production happened. If you want to sell something to a EU-based consumer, that money has to be paid no matter where you're from. What could be more fair than that?

Again: the difference is coming purely from the US government choosing to tax a US company. Just why is that a problem that should be solved by the EU?
Recursion can be good, predicting you will never run out of stack or not, can be hard.

You are not wrong. But it is still an amazing piece of software for self hosting.

So you're better off flagrantly breaking traffic laws and possibly getting T-boned than having someone potentially break into your car? That seems like some combination of nonsense and there maybe being some places you should just avoid.
My father used to work with someone who was originally from some Pacific Island country (forget which, might have been Fiji). And the story was, in that country, at least back then, you didn't get a birth certificate at birth; to register your children with the government, you had travel to a government office that was like a day's walk away (most people didn't have cars). And so a lot of parents didn't bother doing it with their eldest child, they'd wait until they'd had a few, and then go register them in a batch. And the government officials had no proof of when the child was actually born, so they just put down the date you registered them as the date of birth. Which meant this guy had the same date of birth as all his younger siblings, despite being several years older than them. And then he used that to get a passport, and then a visa to immigrate to Australia, and then after a few years Australian citizenship... and now all his legal documents say he's a few years younger than he actually is. And he decided he wasn't even going to try to fix it, the morass of bureaucracy involved wasn't worth it.
It's actually less paperwork, because you don't have two companies filing separate VAT rates with two tax authorities. On the surface, the reverse charge sounds complex but it actually simplifies things for the importer.
Sorry, but I really do not understand the point you are making.

Consumers in the EU pay the same VAT on products from the EU as from products from the US. There is no unfairness. Businesses in the EU do not have to pay VAT, whether from the EU or from US.

The only "additional tax burden" that US companies face are US internal taxes.
Yes. It is. Because it is government stealing my money. After I already paid income tax. VAT is charged from me not the seller, the seller just has to move the money from me to tax authorities.

VAT is tax on my consumption. It is in essence extra tax on anything and everything I buy. Thus it is really not taking any money from the seller, but me a EU citizen.

Basically money for USA here should come from income taxes paid by workers and the corporate taxes paid on profits. And then well capital gain taxes paid for profits paid out.
EU companies can't reclaim production costs. They reclaim VAT on production costs. US producers don't pay VAT on production costs so why would they be able to reclaim it?

If US exporters want to claim back the sales taxes they pay on their imports they should be talking to their governments not complaining about the EU. VAT is paid by consumers. EU consumers pay VAT exactly the same way when they buy domestic or imported goods.

The current system in the EU does not "punish" US exporters, it "punishes" EU consumers for consuming (in the same sense that income taxes "punish" you for earning income). The US tax system "punishes" you by imposing sales taxes on you that you can't claim back if you use the products as inputs to goods or services that you sell. The EU plays no role in this whatsoever.

The US has identical treatment to everyone else, including EU domestic businesses. It is crucial to understand this. US exporters do not pay VAT on their inputs, so they have nothing to claim back from the EU. It makes no sense to say they are disadvantaged.

There is no one true theory of everything. All models are false -- some are useful.

Many different math concepts are used successfully in physics. Even if they may be outside everyday intuition for a layman, that doesn't make them less "real"
That's kind-of the point in B2B transactions, it moves VAT all the way down the chain until it hits the consumer.
That's why the total number of reviews are accounted for. They're supposed to balance that out
Even with all the cruft they keep adding? Tv shows, Live TV, other random bollocks you have to keep turning off.

I'm glad I never purchased a licence with the amount of useless stuff they keep shoe horning in.
It might be that nothing is actually being played, but opening an audio session wakes up your systems DAC/amplifier so you can hear the analog noise floor. In that case the noise is actually always there during playback, you're just more likely to notice it during silence.

Computers are a really hostile environment for audio, if possible you're always better off getting an external audio interface to put some distance between the analog signal path and any EMI spewing components.
Hm, that sounds vastly jankier than Plex per your description. I have never had to wait for any UI element to load in plex, local or remote, including thumbnails. Everything is almost always instantaneous. I've tried the demo instance of Jellyfin a few times to see if it has improved and my impression was that it's a complete joke, not a serious plex alternative.
I stumbled over a quote related to this, and it struck a chord with me:

> A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.

...

That was following a tangent involving the systems thinking heuristic The purpose of a system is what it does. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_wha...)

"Net energy loss" meaning you have to supply some energy in the form of heat or electricity to make the reaction go, and you don't get it back.

There are things that will react with CO2 and form something that isn't combustible. That reaction may even generate heat that you could hypothetically use for something, but in practice probably not enough of it to be worth extracting.
This should definitely be the thing. If anyone still thinks he isn’t an absolute moron, I don’t even know what to say. Firing people because you have no idea what they do is just so spot on for his “I’m the smartest guy in the room so if I can’t figure it out, nobody can”. He is very rarely the smartest guy in the room…
Sole traders working labour only may operate below this comfortably. But this is irrelevant to this thread about international trade in GOODS. Not many who are shipping goods and trying to make a decent income off a margin will fall under £90k. If you think you want to make £50k a year on a 25% margin, for instance, you will smash that threshold.

This reminds me of the famous Library of Babel story, where the entire corpus of a language is imagined to live in a library. Like, every permutation of the characters of an alphabet for pages of a certain number of characters in books of a certain number of pages.

The reducto ab asurdum of this library is an alphabet of 0 and 1, a page size of 2 characters and a page count per book of 2.
Thinking Basketball is great. The people who complain about the 3s in basketball probably didn’t watch the NBA in the older days. Horrible defense and far less skill — and that’s the era I grew up and loved.

I have two major complaints about the game nowadays: (1) intentional fouling to get an advantage. It’s the only major sport where fouling can often work to your advantage.
(2) The block call is so inconsistent it might as well be a coin flip.
We are beyond that way of thinking. It would be like someone breaking something bad in a dictatorship. Best case they get moved and a similar person takes over.

It is more likely he gets kicked out if he humiliates Trump somehow.
Popular current ones though?
I think the absurdity of the proposition is justified.

I got banned from my city's subreddit for questioning why folks were against anti-crime (moderate Democrat) politicians running for the city mayor's office. Now I can't participate at all: I can't ask my community for recommendations, take up offers on free concert tickets that are frequently given out, etc. Where else do I go for that?

Social media is a common carrier, and unelected mods are unwanted and unjustified authoritarians.

It should all just be a protocol. No platforms.
The US is a defacto dictatorship now.
Jellyfin is not able to group series together and on top of that shows everything in random order, why bother with it when there are alternatives that can do that?
The EU's tariffs are perfectly legitimate according to world trade law. If the US wants to push for advances in world trade law so that tariffs and non tariff barriers come down, then it would do well to start by ending its war on the WTO appellate body and world trade law more generally. What are the chances of that happening under Trump? You can't say you love tariffs and it is your favourite word and then say "sorry your tariffs are too high, what happened to free trade???"

I got my wisdom teeth out at 16 or 17 and was given a prescription for oxycodone. I was really excited because I had read about oxy online and wanted to try it. But also I knew it was referred to as hillbilly heroin because of how addictive it was, so I had to be careful. I didn't take any of the oxy after the surgery and just took ibuprofen, so I could save the oxy for later on. I got high off it a few times and loved it. Later on I got a chance to try some hydrocodone and I thought that was even better, because the oxycodone was a little too much for me. I didn't nod off on the hydros. Anyway, opiates are great, that's why I haven't used them since high school.
if you can reduce infinity to a place to look for an answer you've made progress.
I think Trump is advocating for reciprocity so yes if they want to then of course.
Ultimately the objective is to to remove trade tariffs/taxes completely but that's not going to happen till there is an incentive for countries to come to the table.
Steam Takes Down Malicious Game, but Players Could Be Infected
You are technically correct however your comment overlooks the structural disadvantages that US businesses face due to lack of VAT.

VATs are pass thru to the consumer as other comments on here have indicated. There is no inherent discrimination between US and EU products in terms of VAT rate. It’s neutral within the country. A US company selling to the EU still has to factor in US corporate taxes in its pricing and does not get a VAT rebate. And due to structural disadvantages, US does not have a VAT to refund like EU countries when they export. EU countries can price their goods more competitively.

Given those facts, Trump views VAT as a hidden tariff that puts the US at a disadvantage.
The US federal government is a gargantuan entity that guarantees the safety, prosperity and happiness of millions of people.
