  • The only thing Plex has that Emby & Jellyfin don’t, that I think is pretty neat, is the combining of multiple servers in one library UI. That’s it.

    For myself I can access jellyfin from my tailnet, but Plex also makes secure sharing with friends and family over the internet simple.

    You also get their OTA broadcast guide for free with plex pass. I doubt anyone else will ever offer that. The cheapest option I know of is HDHomerun’s for $35/year.

    With those two things I suspect I’ll be sticking with Plex (if not exclusively) until they go out of business.

    It’s not black and white though; saying fields are biodiverse is an erroneous simplification.

    Fields can be biodiverse, but pushing for increased production inherently drives that down. Big ag will make the field deadly to anything other than the target crop to make conditions most favorable to that crop.

    We grow subsistence levels of rice each year and choose methods that promote biodiversity. Our paddies and surrounding areas are host to all sorts of life; fish, frogs, snails, crabs, all that attract their own predictors. But even something that seems like table stakes such as using a combine to harvest instead of harvesting by hand is destructive to the ecosystem of the paddy.

    …but then imagine if all the rice in the world was harvested by hand instead of by machine. Would it even be productive enough to supply the world? It’s unimaginably more time consuming.

    It’s been a year or two since I was looking into it and I didn’t have a NAS at the time, but another one of the issues I had was the tiny selection of cameras available. I tested some Aqara G2H Pros and the Logitech Circle View. The Aqaras I added local storage to and at least could get continuous recording, but event seeking is pretty terrible. The circle view was, despite very well built hardware, essentially useless. Keeping it connected to the network was basically impossible

    I’m curious how writing to the NAS works. Is it just a bunch of files dumped to a network share or is there some sort of timeline viewing software available? Are they giant continuous files? Individual files for events? Without knowing the details it seems like it would be a nightmare to navigate and actually find useful information.
