Just buy the lifetime Plex pass before the price goes up then.

If you have Plex pass you dont have to worry about it. Others can still remote play from your server free. Actually more so because the mobile app is free for them too now.

Deceptive title. If the person hosting the server has Plex pass then it’s still free for other users to use remote playback.

Indeed. I’m not sure when they added mobile support back, but it wasn’t there when I last looked for it. Guess its time for me to move my PWAs out of brave now. Thanks.

Yes, they did that when the EU made the ruling about allowing other app stores. Apple doesn’t like PWAs cause they lose their 30% cut. Hopefully we some ruling or law that they have to treat them equal to native apps.

I dont use many PWA’s since I had to run them on chromium before. But as a web Dev and even more so as a user, I feel like PWA’s are the way to go. They completely avoid all the app stores drama plus the 30% fees. Also the devs get to deploy instant updates without the delay going through the app stores. Just like any other web app. If done right I could see them replacing most native apps. Assuming we can get apple to allow PWAs full CPU usage. Currently they are throttling them from what I understand.

Edit: To clarify I’m speaking about mobile. I’ve never even tried PWAs on desktop and can’t imagine why I would use that over browser+bookmarks.

Zen is pretty cool.

Their website has over an hour wait time. If the price is good this laptop could be big. I hope it keeps the good Linux compatibility their other ones have.

You convinced me I need to appreciate tailscale somehow even more than I do.

services.tailscale.enable = true;

How usable is this? I don’t know much about RISC-V. But when I DL software I only ever see X64 and ARM options.

If its just a simple static page. Just use cloudflare pages. It scales to zero and would probably be completely free for your use case.

Vercel is even easier to setup but they don’t allow businesses on the free tier so it would be $20 a month for pro plan.

Being a Linux user I really like everything being ran in the browser. What if we just have more control of which JS APIs can be used? On a site by site bases. Which I assume can probably already be done with extensions.

I’ve had no issues with it so far. Its been my go to for awhile. But I don’t use windows for anything important. Malware bytes scans don’t find anything.

Thanks, both of your points are good. I was thinking about it in terms of what OP is trying to do. Having key on the same drive. Putting the key on a separate drive or even the cloud like someone else suggested makes sense. I have all of my computers on manual. Since I don’t have anything critical enough that it can’t wait till I’m back home to start it back up.

Thanks, I was thinking about it as if the key was stored on the same drive. Like OP is trying to do. Which I don’t think would help in the case of it being stolen. Or any case I can think of. But I see how A cloud key would make a lot of sense. And would be a good compromise on security vs convenience.

This isn’t helpful. But genuine question. What is the point of encryption that auto unencrypts? When would it ever actually be securing the data?

Well Plex has the live TV stuff you just need a tuner. So there are programs that act as tuners for IPTV. Like a middle man between IPTV and Plex. I’m still switching around trying to find one that works best. They all seem to have pros and cons. There is Xteve and Telly. Xteve is easier to setup but hasn’t been updated in a long time. There is a newer fork of xteve called Threadfin but it has a bug which keeps me from being able to add a m3u link. But I found a fork of the fork where the bug is fixed.

I finally gave up on the free streams and got IPTV. Got it streaming though Plex/jellyfin and I’m really impressed. You can stream the IPTV through stremio too for a easier setup.
