Here's hoping FCast gets the traction it deserves soon and more open source projects start supporting it over Chromecast's proprietary bs

complicated DNS interception stuff with your router.

It's often not that hard. Many routers have a setting for local dns records.

If you do make a public DNS record, I recommend not putting "plex" or "jellyfin" or "TV" in the domain or subdomain. Make it something more generic.

I recently got a domain from Namecheap, $100 for ten years. If you want something that changes every year, you can get some .xyz domain for like $2 for the first year (and then it'll go up to more the next years.)

I redirect all DNS to my router. Its how my ad block works. No matter what you try all DNS leads to the router.

I pay for Nebula.tv for a similar reason. Mostly for Legal Eagle and City Beautiful.

I’ll shout out NASA+, there isn’t a lot on there but it’s free.

If you're into small streaming services, also look at Dropout for your comedy needs.

There's not a ton of content on PBS passport. I just keep the subscription running and check it every six months or so for new content.

I haven't heard of Curiosity Stream, but sounds like something I'd actually watch. Thanks for dropping that name

Damn, Sherlock is on PBS Passport? Crazy, great show

The whole Jimmy Kimmel cancellation.

Bent the knee to losing the first amendment

They fired Jimmy Kimmel after he said a very mild comment about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, all because the FCC head threatened to take away their license, despite the fact that he was simply using his first amendment right to free speech.

Thankfully Disney had the sense to rehire him, but the fact that they caved to pressure from Fascists to begin with is some unforgivable shit.

Doing the lord's work

Is the computer running it going to sleep and coming back with a new IP address maybe? Or just asleep when you’re trying to use it? Gotta set it to never-sleep, just display off

1. What sort of clients? What apps or browsers?
2. Are you attempting to connect using the IP address of the server, or by the device/domain name or whatever?
3. Is it just that your app cannot find the server, or is it able to find the server but the login credentials are not working or something?

What is the error/issue I found it really straightforward especially with the QR code for quick connect

Maybe hairpin nat?

What's the "rss" part of it? I have the arr suite + jellyfin and jellyseer and I didn't have to configure amything related to rss.

More like Plex but without the 'corporate' that Plex has these days.

Its like plex but without any of the features and free content. You have to set more up yourself to use jellyfin, and you need your own content. You could technically watch plex's free content without bringing your own though.

is tailscale for accessing stuff from outside? as i see it's a vpn thing

Is there somewhere that explains how to do this susscinctly?

Good luck "streaming" an old torrent or a high bitrate 4k movie. Plus, with jellyfin you don't need to have an internet connection once you have the media.
