  • £30 for 500mbps down Fiber with Vodafone here in the Midlands in the UK.

    No data caps, no throttling, got a discount SIM for £1 a month as well which is much nicer than £15/month I had with O2 before.

    Got a contract by speaking to a real human over the phone and opted out of all data collection too. Vodafone uses a really nice router that even lets you export logs and has all sorts of neat features like public subnet, WPA3 (til that’s a thing) and custom DNS, though I still use my own switch and OpenWRT router most of the time for my homelab (Jellyfin, Bind9 local DNS and TLD with no forwarder and navidrome).

    I want to probably set it up as a dumb AP because apparently the WiFi 7 or whatever is better than my old Archer C7 but I just use it for work rn on its own VLAN.

    Speed hasn’t been too stable lately but not enough to make me actually complain yet. It’s the cheapest internet I could get, I frankly don’t see much point in speeds above 75mbps or so lol.

    A few months ago I was paying like £50 for 50mbps with Virgin in South UK. I wasn’t even in contract and those cunts charged me an exit fee. I mailed them their router and they charged me for it anyway. Somehow even bigger cunts than BT. No issues with Vodafone yet.


  • I mean, statistically, you are, so am I, I’m very right to assume that unless stated otherwise.

    Furthermore, almost no women at least in my personal experience have ever reported having travel experiences like yours, so I was doubly right to assume that you are a man.

    And yet further, you also do not deny it therefore I’m going to assume I was correct and dismiss your experiences as not applying to me.

    I will assume more because I assume that I assumed correctly and you just don’t like being called out, even though a reasonable person would probably just say that others’ experiences may vary.

    I was also just being polite in saying “euro” instead of just saying “white” btw.

    Blocked.












  • You can just download the episodes though? Like right in Jellyfin:

    Because yes, you can just copy files from your NAS to your phone’s internal storage (assuming you don’t care about transcoding and the like)… at which point there isn’t much use to a metadata oriented media server/service.

    No you do not need to do any of that.

    Or you can just set up Plex to always download the next 10 episodes of whatever show you are watching when it has network access. I mean… that probably won’t work (see: 40%) but when it does, it is awesome. Which is the “it just works” functionality.

    You can download in Jellyfin also, like in the screenshot above.

    anyone asking for anything else is wrong and stupid.

    I mean, you are asking for things that are already in the app, you tell me if that’s stupid or not. I’m just trying to help.

    I’d never call anyone even trying to use these self-hosted alternatives stupid.

    Jellyfin devs could actually get the “download the next N episodes” functionality to reliably work (even at 80-90%) it would be a killer app

    Is there some reason you can’t do this manually? I actually can’t think of any app with this feature, not even Netflix way back not Spotify.





  • Huh? I used jellyfin just fine in the hospital on public WiFi on my ancient busted iPad air [some number].

    The only thing I did was install pivpn and upload my VPN profile file to Google drive so I can remote into my network. I legit never even had to set anything up it just worked, didn’t even need to know the IP of the server because my locally run DNS server (and failing that, the basic hostname based DNSMasq in the router) took care of everything.

    I don’t even have any reverse proxy or firewall because I still pretend to value my sanity and my time, nor did I expose it to the internet either, thanks to almighty NAT.

    Didn’t have to do any caching or anything crazy like that, no idea what you’re talking about, but I think there’s an option to download the files right through jellyfin.

    I watched star trek TAS while having fun with opioids and it was a great time.
