That’s the key. It just works. No extra setup necessary.

And more importantly, I do t have to have my 60 year old mom do some additional setup in her end. Just install the app, and go.

This happens automatically but it does happen

And that’s the key, it happens automatically and it just works. With jellyfin you have to expose the web server to the internet, or point an app to something else exposed on the internet. With plex you don’t. If you don’t want to (or can’t) a direct connection from your server to their servers, then their servers to your device is established. No VPNs, no reverse proxies, no port forwarding, nothing exposed to the rest of the internet.

What I’m praying for is for Jellyfin to add a tailscale like direct peer to peer system. They can skip the backup funneling traffic through their servers. But just have something that coordinates a direct connection with just basic NAT.

How do you communicate with the server outside of your network? You’d still need to expose those ports directly to the internet right? (excluding VPNs/reverse proxy etc)

Inside the network you do, but not for remote access outside the network.

It’s a very sensical statement. I’m not exposing a whole ass website on my own network just for remote viewing. With plex you don’t need to do that.

Also doesn’t jellyfin not support remote streaming?

Their support blamed my friend swapping the SSD with another one for the main board dying. There was nothing wrong with the SSD. He put it in another computer and it worked just fine for years.

We will never even consider buying one of their piece of shit laptops again.

lol

The speed of the CPU is entire relevant to Anubis though. The faster the CPU the faster it does the POW, and the faster it lets you in. And OP isn’t alone in it making your machine do a lot of work to get in.

OPs CPU is an absolute potato. My work laptop has a 13th gen Core i9 and it took about 10 seconds to get through at ~700kH/s and that pegged my CPU the entire time. And according to geekbench my CPU is 800% faster single core and 2400% faster multi. Anubis, and any proof of work blocker is just not friendly to old hardware.

I just tested on my M4 Max machine which absolutely destroys the i9 and it still took about 10 seconds of churning away almost full power to get through. Neither of these machines should be flagged in any way shape or form as bots or needing that deep of an inspection.

I really want to go AV1 too. Most of what I play is airplayed from my ipad to whatever so I only need my iPad to support it. But I’m not buying an iPad air just to airplay AV1.

But H265 has been prevalent for about 10 years now so basically any smart TV made in the last 3 years should support it. And if yours don’t then any el cheapo smart tv stick should.

You don’t even necessarily need to delete either. If you have a ton of H.264 video you could convert it to 265 or AV1 with minimal quality loss, but huge space savings.

They can, but most mainstream distros started dropping support for them a few years ago so software support is getting pretty rough.

Honestly I’d just keep it on Mac OS and explore old Mac OS and its quirks. If you downgrade to 10.4 you can run classic Mac OS games/software in addition to osx software. Mac OS has no drm so just burn a disk and boot off it. 10.4 only needs a single layer dvd, 10.5 needs a dual layer. If it’s an early G5 then any 10.4 installer will work, if it’s one of the last then you’ll need the machine specific restore dvd. You can find all the software you can dream of on Macintosh garden.

USB boot is possible but a little finicky. If you’re going to try Linux use a DVD. Linux is “supported” but it’s not worth the pain of the quirks of USB boot and the quirks of Linux on Mac.

Oh that’s not a G5 that’s an Intel iMac. Yeah Linux will boot just fine on that machine USB or dvd. I’d still play with old Mac OS on it since as soon as you put modern Linux on it becomes just a boring PC that can’t run much to me.
