But tbh the phone tower thing sounds like an edge case.

The vpn drops and renegotiates, if you’re on a facetime, if you’re on a meet, if you’re listening to streaming radio.

Can, but there are issues. As you travel and change towers, that vpn connection has to tear down and be rebuilt on the next IP. Towers are only a couple miles apart best case so at 60, any realtime ip communication gets bad. She doesn’t love running the client full time and just wants to see the ip cameras.

The real solution would be simply stand up an haproxy with https and require a specific certificate to communicate. which i can do… but why when i’d just want to donate to home assistant anyway.

Not OP

It also supports HA development, and keeps me from requiring my wife to understand tailscale.

We’ve gone through tons of vendors. We’ve spent tons on well known vendors, we’ve spent pittances on shitty vendors, in the end, they all outsource to some random polyglot who either doesn’t quite have a grasp on one language or the other or maybe doesn’t have the whole context. For some reason, they fail to give us a good translation some percentage of the time and the communities bitch. It’s a mix really and if they would do the job right the first time, it would be awesome. We’re translating into a dozen languages and on a busy month, we might send out 1200 names/paragraphs to be translated.

It can work for some things, but you have to be careful AF.

Most of the ‘reasoning’ models are already doing this or web searches to make sure answers are sane. Hallucinations are still all over the place, but they’re processing the request multiple times on multiple models and only giving you back answers that don’t have too many red flags.

I was told to test out what it could do for translation. Single model translate was in the ballpark but rarely really great. translate your shipment has arrived to french.

Then take the suggested output to a local model, say i was told this was the proper translation for “your shipment has arrived” in French where the context is it’s an airdrop from a plane and it’s a crate full of food.

rate this translation from 1 to 5, 1 being poor and 5 being excellent and give me examples why you thing it’s rated that way

take that back to the first model,

I was told that this was an acceptable translation, but a better one might be …

Then i took the output and put it up against our professional translations.

both models spitballing off each other were at least acceptable 99% of the time, and once in a while the output was more accurate than the professional service we were paying to do it.

We still use the professional service, but I vet their output now.

Just re-read to make sure, they def changes the non-html to allow it, but they do def have non-pirate terms in there

end to end encryption with your own key on their tunnel might be a good idea (which is allowed)

Cf used to have it against the rules, but it’s fine now.

edit: you can in fact do video, but they have added lines about ~piracy

Run the jellyfin in a container that only has read privileges to the videos ( make sure you can’t get out to your whole NAS from there), put that behind a Cloudflaired tunnel.

It’s not technically secure, but if they can’t get a foothold in your network and the only thing they can access is your video catalog, that’s a reasonable amount of risk.

yeah, it wanted a new computer. I installed it on a few boxes at work, it was pretty. In the end, driver issues and slow perf made it unreasonable

Few people even wanted vista for free

We do all look at code, get immediately annoyed that it doesn’t just make sense. most of us at least have the wherewithal to stick with it and work on the engine as it sits :)

We went out for drinks one night after work. Upon stumbling back to the office, I remembered I had forgotten that I signed up to make a tool page to mange some data ingest. It was due first AM. I was three sheets to the wind. Fired up LAMP stack, took the samples and made an ingest function. Wired up a textbox, tested it and went home.

Next AM, I turned it in, there was a minor bug. No problem, I’ll just find the issue and they’ll be good to go.

cracked the scripts open…

I could read it. I could see what a lot of it did. I could NOT figure out what some of it was there for. I spent 30m trying to figure out what I was doing. it was only a couple hundred lines. It wasn’t even a copy/paste job. Eventually I ran out of time and just leaned into phpdump, and breakpoints to find the exact error. One function hit a bonefied php bug that caused the debug to go silent. large swaths of the code were unreachable due to essentially a couple of typos. The only reason it worked as well as it did was because their sample data was as simple as imaginable. I put on some Nine Inch Nails and just remade it in about 30 minutes (10m before it was absolutely needed)

I watched a team invent a new language to get around updating some eccentric code.

They could have sat down and commented it and made their changes

They could have refactored what was there.

They could have scrapped it and wrote fresh

Instead, they designed an entire natural language system so that non-programmers who were writing in XML could just write in English.

They ended up making so many required keywords as helpers that the non-programmers kept using the old system because the XML was easier for them work with.

Note: wasn’t my code, wasn’t my dept, when I heard the plan I went to check it out, the old system was functional but like C- work at best. At some point, they wrote a compiler for the new system.

Troll, PR company or just Sycophant , either way you’re BLOCKED BABY byes

Thanks for that, flirc might be worth my time to look.

I need some of those codecs to perform better, but I can probably stand up a more agile box than a Pi.

How? What is hard to navigate in Plex?

That last ui update was a open abomination and every plex forum out there was all over it, you can’t hide that by saying nuhhahhhh

Since you’re so enamored with plex and I’m quite versed on it, Let’s talk about the horrors of plex

They are collecting data on your and your friends, what you’re watching and what media you have. If the country or state you live and ever decide to go after pirates, they will absolutely hand that data over to whatever state wants it for a song.

Using plex is selling your self and your family out.

They have consistently removed features that people loved and used to focus on delivering you ad content and enshittifying the average experience until they pay. And how much are you paying to watch your own content? What other services could you be spending that on?

I assume you don’t know you can customize your home screen and menus? You can only have your own content showing if you want.

I assume you’re either shill for the company or an outright PR plant, that last ui change was pushed to put their content first. that’s BS. I had my stuff customized, I disabled their crap, they undid it again. My family had to have me go and dig through those tiny top menus on roku to find my own shares. The average person watching my stuff complained to me that i put ads in my stuff. that’s not by fucking accident, it’s a business decision to give me and mine worse content so they can make an extra buck off me. Every change they make is company first, every requrest we make is forums for user helpful change is years old.

The whole company is absolutely horrible and selfish.

I absolutely can. It has only improved since I’ve been using it, which is from the very start.

How about give me examples instead of just shilling. The people here are owed the truth, not your company first attitude.

had disagree, getting friends and family on your jellyfin isn’t that hard. There are jellyfin clients out there for most devices

nice argument you place there. meet my blocklist

Wait, you’re that same guy just shilling for plex aren’t you?

Oh my, go check that post history people, they’re either a PR plant or just trolling

Remote play you can’t unless you want to open your network up to the internet,

That’s absolutely wrong. You can remote proxy the same way they do, sure to the edge. you can open just the port and sandbox the container. There are ways.

and even then most TVs and devices don’t have a JellyFin app.

Almost every streaming device outside of TV’s are covered and many tv’s already support it. Every roku and android tv support it, along with most samsungs.

Tell me, are you guys getting paid by a plex PR firm or something, you all feel lots of ways about things with very little information and tons of white lies.

Their entire infrastructure required to do that proxy and caching is at most 10k a month. Thats a couple thousand users.

What you’re actually paying for is their research and development of all that add ridden content they’re trying to shove down your throat. Then selling your data, and selling you and your watchers ads.

That’s some really expensive peanuts you’re suggesting
