Don’t they put plutonium reactors in space? Have to be able to cool those somehow?

The entire point of those is to produce heat to power a thermoelectric generator. And while most of the heat will be wasted, it is a rather small amount overall.

A data centre would require massive amounts of energy, most likely provided by solar panel arrays. Then the processors will convert all the energy to heat that has to go somewhere.

Agree and I probably wouldn’t want to be on an instance that uses it to heavily. Still think it’s a good option to have for people that want to run a more curated instance.

That seems like something that is very reasonably within the discretion of an instance admin to do. Also pretty neat feature. Not a de-federation so you can still interact with users from that instance, but it doesn’t push your own users into communities on problem instances.

Yeah and it’s not like they could count them, they’d just fall asleep!

Networking is a big aspect. I have almost 40 friends on plex, about 10 of them actively use my library. I also have access to 8 other plex servers in my circle. And I can put all the “latest added episodes” up on my homescreen with a few clicks.

With jellyfin I’d have to have at least 8 different accounts on 8 different instances.

And while the social aspect isn’t great, I found a few interesting people by looking at plex reviews of recently airing shows. Or just finding people through “friends of friends”.

There is a lot of things to be gained by having a central account and a connection beyond just very selective accounts on your own server, it really shouldn’t be that baffling.

I would (and did) use plex even for purely local playback, because of dozens of other of features it offers. It’s a full fledged media library, not just a folder and player.

You are the one that is clueless and you’re making a fool out of yourself, badly.

As we say in Germany: “Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Fresse halten”.

Where can I view the show/episode description and metadata in the shared folder? Where are my playlist? Where does it safe my watch progress. How can I filter my collection by genre or other advanced options, like available audio languages? Where does it suggest related show? Where is the API to auto sync my watch history to list sites?

Seriously, if you think a shared folder in the windows explorer can remotely compare to what plex does I have to assume you have never used or even seen the plex interface before.

Uhm … do you know what plex actually is?

What is this “better option” you speak off?

In this community I’d assume it nearly always is …

Because paid versions are often better and for many people those improvements are worth it.

Seems 80% of readers don’t care …

Exactly this.

Also plexamp is a great player and if you give it a couple of GB of file cache it even works offline (for recently played stuff).

Most phones dont have enough storage

And neither does this thing. 8GB is absolutely laughable and then it can’t even handle SD cards above 256 GB? That’s considerably worse than my cheap, 6 year old phone (64GB internal storage, supports up to 512 GB SD cards and has a headphone jack).

This thing would have to be really cheap, like < $50 cheap to be worthwhile.

I’d keep allowing it but remove the requirement to credit the OC if it’s from reddit.

It’s sitting on top of a natural gas field. Gas in the crater is burning up all the oxygen, so the gas underground can’t explode (think of a lighter). It will eventually run out of gas.

The app is called “Synology Drive” and no cable needed, though you can set it so it will only back up on wifi.
