Holy cow!! I didn’t know that. I have been using history > history.txt to find “that one command for that one thing” I only need once every other month or so. Thanks, now I can just do that.

This is incorrect.

If you are new at this point “Lower decks” is the right place to start.

After that you can go to any series, even if TNG is the right next step. You can pick anything.

THIS THING IS STUPID!!!

Or it’s just me that is the fool. Thanks for sharing. I just learned about 9 new things.

I was being sarcastic with the maybes and countering your statement that the meme is entirely web-dev. But hey, it’s just a picture on the internet and I thought it was great we don’t need to go round and round about every aspect of the analogy.

So there is no desktop program that calls to a remote server for information someplace? Maybe like a server database on what games you can join, player movements and speed who is online, maybe even what music you can play? Or maybe a mobile/phone app that does the same? A way to have a standard interface but get new and updated info delivered to you in that specific form? This information would be delivered from one specific place to another, maybe to your table/device.

Front end and back end happen in more environments than you think.

That being said I can get delivery to my terminal/cmd from a ton of places that have nothing to do with each other kind of like getting pizza and tacos delivered.

For anyone about to say API is more like a delivery driver an not a server, realize we are in Programmer_humor, not web_dev.

No joke that was the first thing I thought but realized it’s freaking perfect.

Similar to the others although I have messed with Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and even a few others for like a day or two each.

At the moment I am using Fedora. My drives are raided and my main storage has all the data and the docker config directory’s.

Using docker for everything, watchtower for updates, and pertained to manage the containers with a gui. All the containers are directed to /mnt/drive/allMyData. In there is my data folders. Shows, movies, plex configs for recording over the air, ebooks, documents, etc.

Mainly I set it up this way so I can easily change distros if I wanted to and have all my services back up in an hour or so.

I started a text file that contains the command lines I have used to start all of my docker containers. This way if I need to I reference it and use the exact same commands mapped volumes to the same folders. Now I am back up and running in a few clicks. No need to backup the container if all the data in it is setup in folders in my main data directory.

However I am running a separate hardware raid setup prior to os. This way all my data stays safe as a separate volume.

Ohh I totally agree if the show or movie is 4K then you should be able to stream it that way. The main point I guess I was making is be sure that the show or movie is 4K, some are not and if that’s the case it won’t work no matter what you do.

There is a list of them that support 4K.

I know I may come off bad with this question but I ran into it a while back and felt like a fool.

What show were you trying to watch, and does that show come in UHD.

When I had it I would stream to the TV so it may be different but not all shows and movies Netflix has comes in 4K.

It may all not give you that option because the resolution of the M3 MacBook Air is 2560x1664 and not actually 4k (3840 x 2160) I understand the pixel density changes things but the native resolution is what I am referencing. Unfortunately Netflix is not going to stream a higher resolution than the display natively supports from my understanding. May not hurt to hit up support with Netflix to see they can do anything to get it to stream 4K. Maybe they’ll even refund your money.

Ahh, well I have found the Jellyfin clients to be less than perfect on appleTV. You may want to try another endpoint client if you don’t want to try another server side software.

Since you are against using plex even with using it only locally I would suggest you look into the Jellyfin clients support. Specifically look at each client device documentation and take a look at what audio and video codex they natively support. If there is one they both support then I suggest you do some testing and stream a movie or show that is encoded with that specific format. This will let you know if it will work across both clients whether it’s a stream issue hardware issue or Wi-Fi issue.

This will prevent transcoding that can cause audio sync issues.

Edit - if that works then I suggest you convert you library to that format.

Kodi has the IR stuff built in from what I remember. At least on windows it did years ago. You just need a “media remote” at one point called windows media remote. It’s a usb or receiver with a regular IR remote.

After a quick google here is a list I found.

Reminds be of living in and near Atlanta GA and trying to find Peachtree.

Duuuude!!! I would love an under decks episode of this. Some vampire race but the two main people are voiced and designed of Frakes and Sirtis.

Yeah. Take a good look at plex as the server and Plexamp as the client. You can filter the music in an almost infinite way. Even by mood. Not saying it’s perfect but it’s the best self hosted way I have found.
