I lost power and water for several days following a hurricane. No internet and no cell signal.

A dual band HT was our only way to learn what was happening across the city and in our neighborhood. It was a lifeline. I’ve got a bigger mobile unit set up now with a better antenna. Easy thing to keep on hand for the next zombie attack.

This is incorrect in the US. Ripping DVD and Blu-ray media for personal use has been part of the fair use doctrine since 2015.

Fair, thanks for the context

The proposed change to UTC globally does not change the accuracy of time measurements. I think it’s a terrible idea, but I fail to see how your point here relates.

What aspects of naturalism do you feel negate the reality of our collective community? I really don't see how the one led you to the other.

Yeah I get what you’re saying. I don’t think you’re hearing me, though.

Best of luck.

I never said I have the breadth of your personality. But I sure as shit have some opinions at this point about what it's like to interact with you online.

Then honestly I don’t really care about what you think.

Perhaps not me personally but you've expressed elsewhere in the comments that you do care about the reaction you've received from this community. You've expressed frustration at the replies and downvotes you've received.

The lemmy mob I’m referencing is actually more of a downvote campaign… it’s the same group of people nearly every time.

I'm suggesting that it might not be about your views specifically and more about how you choose to interact with the other people here.

. . . you can’t discern “personality” traits in 3 sentences of text.

I've definitely formed an opinion based on our brief interaction. Is it hard to believe that others might have also done so?

The iPad will last a whole movies worth of time streaming a screen mirror? That’s impressive I guess.

I'm struggling to figure out what you're trying to communicate here. I mean, yeah, probably. The iPad is notorious for its class-leading battery life under real usage. But you know, it can also be plugged into the wall with any USB-C charger. It's weird to me that you'd even bring this up.

I've seen you mention in several posts that you're frustrated by the unfriendly response you perceive from this community. Have you ever considered that it might be your personality and not your views that's causing it?

Edit: No, I have no difficulties reaching local devices while connected to my VPN.

That's not a situation I've ever faced, but imagining the hypothetical, I'd play it on my iPad and airplay/stream that to the TV.

I hate this distinction… If you have jellyfin exposed without some other form of auth in front of it is the problem. It has nothing to do with friends or other users.

Right. I don't have Jellyfin exposed. Because I'm not trying to share its contents with anyone. That's the distinction.

I was only speaking to your question upthread. It sounds like you do agree with me that Plex does have a history of concerning privacy decisions. This one even directly affected users sharing your library.

As to the rest I’m not here to sell you on Jellyfin. It’s the right platform for my needs and I’m very happy with it. I’m not one of the “run a pirate tv server for a group of my friends” users, so I don’t place any value on the features that keep you on plex.

Open source will keep being open source. Every year seems to bring improvements to vpn technology and general consumer awareness of them. I have no doubt that Jellyfin will continue to close the gap, by all measures it is a popular and growing project. One day it may even be suitable for you.
