Jellyfin

Use the desktop client or jellyfin-mpv-shim and you'll get HEVC support and superior image quality.

Can you imagine a world without influencers?

Do you have any recommendations for a Perplexity.ai type setup? It's one of the few recent innovations I've found useful. I've heard of Perplexica and a few others, but not sure what is the best approach.

But yes, Im pretty sure my little server I use explicitly for jellyfin will be fine

I'm not sure why you wouldn't use Linux for that. You can make some arguments against Linux on the desktop (although I don't agree) but Linux as a server has been clearly superior for a long time.

Perplexity seems to work but I don’t like the idea of AI giving me “facts” since they are mostly based on other AI posts

It helps that it gives actual sources, so you can verify them. But yeah, not helpful if all of the sources end up being AI posts.

however the issue I run into is if I lose internet access at home, none of my services are able to function as they can no longer reach the management interface.

Do the services stop working immediately, or only after restarting the netbird client(s)? I've found headscale/tailscale nodes will continue to communicate with each other with the internet down, but restarting the tailscale client will break things (which makes sense of course).

If netbird has an equivalent to MagicDNS that could cause issues after a while of losing connectivity (since the DNS will be hosted on the VPS).

Or just use tailscale/headscale/netbird and keep the underlying wireguard performance.

Can any of these work without some idiotic third-party account?

If you're just talking about WMR devices (and not VR in general), then no, they don't require an account. The Reverb G2 is the most supported by Monado (and has the best hardware), but I'd try to get the V2 revision. And the cable is a common failure point, so could be an issue with a used purchase.

Looks like Monado is our only hope. Pathetic support from Microsoft but hopefully it will be fully supported in Linux in the next few years.

I've seen it go down in some cases on VPNs, so it could be a matter of time (or they'll find a solution again and the back and forth will just continue).

Youtube isn't just a thing people use to waste time, but a source of educational content. That actually matters, and there isn't a good alternative to much of it.

That being said, I agree that people could at least drop it (or reduce their usage) if they are just using it as a time waster.
