Tech With Jake

Home Assistant doesn’t require to pay for anything at any point in time for any reason. If you want to expose your instance to the web, they have all the documents on how to do it yourself. There’s absolutely nothing “hidden” behind a paywall. The only reason to say is if you want Nabu Casa to handle exposing your instance to the internet and various cloud services like Google Assistant/Alexa. The reason to pay Nabu Casa is if you don’t have the technical know how (or lazy like me) and to help fund Home Assistant (which I want).

That’s all to say that Plex and Home Assistant are not similar in their pay scheme. It’d be more akin if Jellyfin started charging users to allow a one click way to stream outside the home with no obligation to.

Have you tried using Bottles? Has a default Bottle for “games”. Run the .exe file in the Bottle and it should work.

This was before the EU forced them to implement RCS.

Thanks for mentioning GalliumOS! I’ll be putting that on my SO’s old Chromebook now.

Interesting, when I took Waymo, it was cheaper than Uber and Lyft, pre tip.

Going off what fishpen0 said, Waymo actually has sensors on it to detect things and can “understand” its surroundings much better than Tesla cars can wish just cameras.

I’ve ridden in Waymos and they are smooth riding. After the initial “OMG! There’s no driver!” You kind of forget about it. You get to your (limited area) destination safely and without much hassle.

I can go more in depth if ya want.

That’s a good version of it too.

LMAO OK. You got me with that one.

Whenever someone says that, my reply is “So is a fire. Go jump in one and let me know how it feels.” 🤣

It’s brual. If you don’t have AC in your house/mode of transportation, you can literally die of heat stroke in a few hours.

A fire fighter trainee literally died in Tucson recently from heat stroke. It’s bad y’all. Stay away if you can.

Winter is decent though since it’s like 50 - 70 lol

Awesome! Thanks so much!

I have a boat load of stuff thru nginx. Using nginx-proxymanager. Dunno if I need to add any special parameters for Jellyfin. Tailscale Funnel is working fine for now.

If you could share your settings for your nginx setup, that might help me.

If and when Jellyfin “needs” revenue, 100% agree. But with that post they’re saying they’re not worried about it, unlike FUTO/Immich.

Hopefully one day Jellyfin will be big enough and stable enough to warrant that kind of funnel.

Right now, I use TailScale funnel for Jellyfin. For some reason nginx just bogs it down too heavily.

My biggest question to FUTO/Immich is if they’re worried about a revenue stream, why not do something similar to Home Assistant? You never have to pay HASS a dime and never see anything to “shame” you. All you get is essentially a forwarding subdomain with some “easier” ways of doing cloud related things. There’s zero “shaming” or calls to pay. I pay HASS/Nabu Casa monthly cause I’m lazy and it makes my life easier. FUTO should consider doing something similar.

The iMessage lock-in is too real for some of us. I know some iPhone users who won’t even install FB Messenger (I know, I don’t use it either. Fuck the Zuck) because it’s not Apple/iMessage. I finally got my family on Signal and “OMG! We can send videos and pictures now!” Yeah, been saying it for years lol.

Maybe organize-tool would help? You have to set the parameters but I love it for getting my home folders organized.

What service are you moving to? I’m curious of other alternatives.

It’s definitely the blue vs green bubbles. Your average user doesn’t even know iMessage is E2EE. They also don’t care.

Google photos is just cloud back up like iCloud backup for iOS devices.

Google photos is also on iOS devices, so you could have your photos on any of your devices.

Late to the party but this why I like Ventoy. It only looks for removable drives and then all you do is drag and drop your live images onto the removable drive. Pretty hard to mess anything up.
