Also what type of jobs are you applying for?

How exactly are you aquiring a folder full of media without technical know how in the first place? (Genuine question?)

Because there are excellent setup guides out there that walk you through the process and allow you to set all this up without knowing anything about the individual steps you’re taking.

It’s not that expensive. You can buy a lifetime pass for like $70 when it goes on sale. That’s like half the price I pay to Comcast each month for my internet.

It was always a thing except with Android and iOS which had a separate one-time fee attached to enable remote playback.

The Plex Relay is enabled by default and is used anytime people can’t directly connect to your server like if your port forwarding is screwed up.

No it’s not the same as with Plex because they have their own security solution and authentication servers. With Jellyfin that’s completely on you to figure out and doing it wrong (exposing open ports to the open internet) can have terrible consequences.

I do agree that it’s not a huge deal to buy a lifetime Plex Pass as a server owner though. I’ve had my issues with Plex over the last decade but it’s a hell of a lot more polished than the competition and it’s extremely easy to share with all my friends and family who don’t know shit about computers or other tech related subjects.

I’m no expert but I was never able to connect to Plex if the host was running a VPN which caused me a ton of issues until I figured out split tunneling.

“Very easy” assuming you aren’t trying to share with non-technical people or your elderly parents.

Not necessarily a VPN but you’re 100% on your own for security. When i used to run Emby, I had a white-list IPs but this doesn’t work great since most ISPs rotate IPs over time and if you’re on wireless it could change all the time.

Only if you were remote streaming on Android or iOS or you’d need to pay a one-time fee to bypass the restriction.

If you as the server owner have a Plex Pass, everyone can stream from your server without paying. This removes the payment required for Android and iOS too.

As a workaround someone posted here about downloading YT videos and importing them into sonarr with some automated tools a few days ago.

It transports you 2 minutes into the future to the time when your toast is ready.

These movie sequels are getting out of hand.

Most niche/novelty electronic devices like this give you a USB port and a 1M USB cable and make you figure the rest out on your own.

like, you can’t even be bothered to spend 5 minutes entertaining your pet?

And this is the method of play that requires the least amount of effort since you only need to press a button and flick your wrist around.

That said I might buy something like this just because I like to nerd out on electronics like this.

I’m sure it’s a basic shape because the technology is in its infancy, and they wanted an actual building in the end. The fancy stuff comes later.

Also you can link it to HomeAssistant so when you unzip you can set an automation to lock your door, dim your lights, play Kenny G, and activate your touchless tissue dispenser.
