Calling windows complicated in comparison to linux is insane.
Kaze@MFI1803

@NathanMcNulty Windows is too complicated and always pushes paid packages right from the start, whereas Linux provides the tools you actually want to use

As a person that hosts both you are missing some key aspects, you need to source, store and manage your own content. This isn’t something you do on a whim.

You pay Netflix $19.99 a month. Then Disney+ takes another $18.99. HBO Max wants $18.49. Hulu is $18.99. That is $76.46 a month. $917 a year. And the shows still disappear. Your favorite movie gets pulled. The show you were halfway through gets cancelled. Netflix raised prices on March 26, 2026. HBO Max went up in October 2025. Plex doubled its Lifetime Pass from $120 to $249.99 and put remote streaming behind a paywall. Remember the movies you "bought" on Amazon Prime? Some of them vanished. Amazon is being sued in a class action right now because "purchased" does not actually mean purchased. You do not own anything you stream. You rent permission. There is a self-hosted Netflix you run on your own hardware. Every movie. Every show. Every song. Every photo. Streaming to every device you own. For $0. It is called Jellyfin. 50,500+ stars on GitHub. Not a stripped-down media player. A full Netflix-grade streaming platform. Beautiful interface. Posters, descriptions, cast, trailers fetched automatically. Looks and feels like the real thing. Here is what it does: → Stream movies, TV, music, audiobooks, photos to any device. → Apps for iOS, Android, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, Android TV, Samsung, LG, Xbox, Kodi, Chromecast, browser. → Hardware transcoding on Intel, NVIDIA, AMD, Raspberry Pi. → Live TV and DVR with an antenna. → SyncPlay. Watch movies in perfect sync with friends across the country. → Multi-user profiles, parental controls, plugin ecosystem. → No account. No cloud. No telemetry. No ads. Ever. Here's the wildest part: Plex used to be the move. Then they doubled the Lifetime Pass. Locked remote streaming behind a paywall. Auto-shared your watch history with strangers. Made you sign into THEIR cloud servers to access YOUR files on YOUR hardware. The community said enough. They forked Emby in 2018 and built Jellyfin. Hardware transcoding? Free. Plex charges for it. Remote streaming? Free. Plex charges for it. Live TV DVR? Free. Plex charges for it. Mobile offline sync? Free. Plex charges for it. Plex Pass: $249.99 lifetime. Netflix + Disney+ + HBO Max + Hulu: $917 a year. Jellyfin: $0. Forever. Runs on a Raspberry Pi. Runs on a 10-year-old laptop. Runs on a $20 mini PC. Runs on your existing NAS. 50,500+ stars. 4,672 forks. 370+ contributors. GPL-2.0 license. Active daily since 2018. Your movies. Your music. Your server. Your rules. 100% Open Source.

@TropicalN_Word Let’s just hope the ecu, tcu and other controllers aren’t locked down like their other german counterparts.

@eyecarezero It won't. But I have never ever seen them as "buy & drive" performance beasts. The same time you're filling out the paperwork for delivery of one, you're also making orders on the ABT site.

@JevonX That’s exactly why it failed. Charging flagship money for a midrange phone at best. The form factor also didn’t help.

@eyecarezero Yeah and it also wasn't very good compared to other android flagships at the time.

@cybercpu Reddit r/hardwareswap or r/homelabsales usually have some decent prices that are more aligned with “normal” pricing. It’s sad we have to resort to “other sources” just to buy ram/ssds in 2026.

@eyecarezero That's still double the cost It was in just November of last year. The going rate of these drives without the AI tax is about $120.
