Sure, but I’ll use myself as an example: I don’t want any of my services exposed to the internet, so Tailscale/Netbird/other Wireguard solution is the best choice.
Some family members have their TV’s online with no Tailscale or media box, so that solution is out.

Sure I could route all their Jellyfin traffic to my me via an exit node or VPN, but then we’re way deeper into this than my 60-something mother would ever want to. And I am on the hook for both her and my uptime. So phone/tablet/PC only if they don’t want a streaming device with native support.

The built in functionality on Plex is really practical, and practical is good for us creatures of comfort.

So I’m not disagreeing with you, just explaining what edge Plex still has over JF.

(And yes, I could do what you do and run with Cloudflare, but I don’t want to pay for it and I don’t want any traffic via third party I don’t trust)

Some paid for lifetime and enjoy it. Or prefer the layout. Or prefer the easier sharing if data with family and friends.

There are still reasons to run Plex over Jellyfin for some, but not many of they keep going the way they are.

I just built a new rig and was soooo close to going mITX, but I just didn’t want to deal with the cramped build space. And the selection of MoBo’s was abysmal compared to ATX and mATX.

I still always get a bit jelly when I see people do it, as they are clean AF. Good on you!

And as others have said: you’re taking the criticism on the chin like a champ. It’s fun to experiment with weird things and you found something that works for you. That’s all that matters.

Enjoy the weekend!

Proxmox with LXC’s and a few VM’s.
Often with Portainer as well.

It’s just nice to use and easy to automate backups.

I used to run barebone on Debian, but I accepted that I’m not good enough in the terminal and to used to graphical solutions to go back.

Southern Norway is quite good for keeping stuff in the open.
Around 35% now, peaked at mid 50s in summer and much lower in winter.

Never really need to dry PLA/PETG, but TPU does need it.

I do run both AMS every once in a while, mostly to regenerate the silica tubs a bit.

I did have stringing on PETG once, but drying while printing was enough to solve it.

Yeah they have properties that make them desireable, like making them easier to print.

I just can’t get myself to play with them knowing the air and my fingers will be full of microscopic sharp particles. Maybe they do nothing, but I’d rather err on the cautious side.
