I would threaten to not buy any more Halo games but I haven’t bought one in like a decade so I recognize there’s not much bite there.

If you use the browser extension on Firefox it will do this automatically.

You’re correct. The Fire Stick would be a client. I currently use a Pi 4 as my server and it works great, but I use KODI instead of jellyfin. This means that nothing trys to transcode when I use it. However, my brother is able to connect to my server through Tailscale and he does some sort of GPU pass thru with a jellyfin container and as far as I know it works great.

If you’re looking for mini PC recommendations, I have been very happy with my Beelink Ser8. It was chosen specifically for handbrake encoding and is an order of magnitude faster than my underpowered decade old desktop.

Edit. I just reread your post saying that you don’t want to buy a mini PC so disregard that advice but if you want to stream to TVs on a budget, I am a big fan of the Fire Stick. If you get them on sale, they’re usually available for half the listed price (about $25 when I got them). You can get them on ebay if you don’t want to support Bozos. Currently they’re very easy to configure and they work great as long as you can get over the clunky menu design.

You may want to check out https://www.thewebernets.com/ blog posts. I use some of the recommend setups for my movies and most look great, but I do use subtitles which I think he mostly skips in his setups.

I am just some rando but I think this poster may have meant tinymediamanager as opposed to tinymusicmanager. I use tinymediamanager and it’s great.

It’s a stupid meme but it’s mine!

Mm hmm

I managed to solve it in the early 2000s with nothing other than a lot of time. I just messed with it whenever I was not typing at a customer service job. Definitely no genius required. Just persistance.

This guy thinks they had 100 FBI agents scrub diaper’s name from the files because he was a whistle blower? Surely the best way to prove his valiant role in this ordeal is to release the unredacted files, right?

And then bring home 6 figures. If nothing else, it pays to be on the wrong side of history.

You could probably name any race from Trek and justify them as Gorn food.

Totally reasonable. I wish every electronic device would brick itself if it heard you talking shit about it. People are too rude to toasters.

This happened to my parents in the 90s in Florida. They did a consultation with a lawyer and he told them to stop paying rent. So they did. Saved the money and used it to make a downpayment on their first house. I don’t know if it still applies but it’s probably worth a look.

It’s because people associate colons with butt holes.

Lay-z-boy might be worth a look. I don’t have a couch but I have several reclining chairs. They’ve all held up well for 10 years and then some.

I like Mark Cuban for the whole https://www.costplusdrugs.com/ thing he’s doing. I have no idea whether or not he’s a decent guy, but this is a decent thing to do, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

Humidity is a bitch here. AC keeps it at 70° F overnight and 72° F during the day. Heat won’t cut on unless it’s 62° F in the winter, and it runs only a couple of times over the entire season.
