Farside was created before the explosion of AI-driven scraping and bot traffic.

I ran both for a while as well. Then decided I preferred Jellyfin.

I only use it locally though didn’t have to set up remote access.

Yeah at this point all I watch is the CONIFA competitions and me local unprofessional footie.

Yeah the air pollution is what I’d be most worried about if this becomes scalable.
