I don't think it directly supports remote streaming

It does, but you'll need to route the incoming traffic through manually. For me, that involves having the router forward traffic on port 443 to the server and configuring a reverse proxy on the server to hand off traffic addressed to jellyfin.$HOME_DOMAIN to the Jellyfin daemon. In my case, Jellyfin is one service among many on a Docker host, with Caddy directing incoming traffic to wherever it needs to go.

It's not automated like Plex, but I've streamed movies and TV shows from across the country without any problems.

I recently switched my service plan (with Cox in Las Vegas) from 500 Mbps with a 1.2-TB (IIRC) monthly limit to 250 Mbps with no limit. After a couple of months of overages that basically doubled my bill, it'll be nice to have predictable billing no matter how much we end up using. 250 Mbps has been fast enough so far.

Plex is available on many more devices. Jellyfin has PC, iOS, Android, AppleTV, AndroidTV, Roku, and LG TVs. But Plex also has PlayStation and Xbox, Samsung TVs, Vizio TVs, and many other smaller streaming boxes.

I used to run Plex. I even paid for a lifetime subscription years ago. I now run Jellyfin; it's been less of a hassle to keep it running and it puts less load on my server. I shut off my Plex container last month after switching my parents' Rokus over to Jellyfin. At home, I switched to Chromecasts (the newer ones that run Android TV) after having run OpenELEC on Raspberry Pi 3s for a while.

Plex also has better remote access support. Just enable it and setup a port forward/firewall rule. Jellyfin? Have fun configuring a VPN on each client to access it.

My Jellyfin instance shares a box with a bunch of other services. Caddy routes traffic on port 443 wherever it needs to go: to Jellyfin, to one of the *arrs, to Nextcloud, GitLab, etc. One rule at the router passes inbound port 443 off to Caddy. No VPN is necessary.

By comparison, there were more than a few instances where Plex's "it just works" networking configuration didn't just work.

I think Southwest has a free checked bag and charges for carry on.

They don't charge for a carry-on or up to two checked bags.

The Walmart nearest to me has been putting more and more products in locked cases. Not just laundry detergent (WTF?), but things like razors, most OTC meds, batteries, and liquor come to mind. I went to a larger store a bit further away for some things for the puppy I just got and found they'd even put dog collars and leashes in a locked case. Waiting for someone to come unlock the case (which often takes several minutes) is bad enough. On some occasions, they've even insisted on carrying the item to the checkout instead of just handing it over. For that kind of hassle, I'd just as soon fire off an Amazon order if I don't need it right now.

tl;dr: The way Walmart treats all its customers like would-be criminals isn't exactly endearing.

Bluesky looks set to replace Twitter

Bluesky is an echo chamber for shitlibs who can't cope. If you liked pre-Elon Twatter with its "trust and safety" commissars, you probably will love Bluesky.

Blueanons like rsilvergun have a hard time relating to reality.

We are witnessing the enshittification of the United States government

Fedgov is already enshittified, thanks to the dementia patient-in-chief and his fellow travelers.

It doesn't matter what you eat if you consume more than your body uses. In other words eat less and move around more.

It's easier to eat less if you're eating right. I've lost 35 lbs. on keto the past couple or three months. Carbs screw with satiety signaling; it takes a bunch of willpower to stay away. Ditch the carbs and you're less likely to want to hit up the junk food between meals.

Lately, I've been eating bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast and either chicken (grilled legs and/or thighs), brats or other sausages, a salad at Chipotle, or a protein-style, animal-style 3x3 at In-N-Out for lunch. The breakroom has a bunch of free and paid options for snacks (almost all chock full of carbs) that I used to hit up two or three times a day. I've not gotten anything other than coffee (black, no sugar) out of the breakroom since going keto. If this keeps up, and I see no reason why it couldn't, the remaining 50 or so pounds I want to lose shouldn't be a problem.

> Jellyfin

This. I still have a Plex server running alongside Jellyfin for my parents, who I'd set up with Plex when I last visited them a couple of years ago. Since then, I've spun up a Jellyfin container and gotten it dialed in; it works like a champ with a couple of Chromecasts at home and my phone and notebook on the road. When my wife and I visit them next month, I'm putting the Jellyfin client on their Rokus and shutting down Plex.

Oh no!

Anyway...

Put it in a case (3D-printable options available), plug in a USB-C PD power supply (65W minimum), and plug a monitor, keyboard, and (if you need it) mouse into some of the other USB-C ports (there are four, two on each side).

I'm still doing just fine with the 11th-gen CPU in mine (even bought another one just like it for my wife earlier this year), but when the time comes to upgrade it, I'm sure I'll find a use for the old motherboard.

I didn't even have to do that much. Adapted from https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.winhelponline.com%2F...:

1. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Advanced app settings -> App execution aliases
2. Scroll down to the Notepad entry and switch it off.
3. Press Win-R, type in "notepad," and hit Enter to verify that the OG Notepad is back.

Depends on the need. My computers spend 99%+ of their time in Linux, but every once in a while there are things that call for Windows on-the-metal.

FTFY, because there's no such thing as Boot Camp.

(I couldn't say if that's still a thing now that Apple has moved from x86/AMD64 to ARM64.)
