You’re correct. The Fire Stick would be a client. I currently use a Pi 4 as my server and it works great, but I use KODI instead of jellyfin. This means that nothing trys to transcode when I use it. However, my brother is able to connect to my server through Tailscale and he does some sort of GPU pass thru with a jellyfin container and as far as I know it works great.

If you had told me 20 years ago that China would be closer to manifesting the Star Trek future I always wanted than the US, I would never have believed you. But here we are.

If you’re looking for mini PC recommendations, I have been very happy with my Beelink Ser8. It was chosen specifically for handbrake encoding and is an order of magnitude faster than my underpowered decade old desktop.

Edit. I just reread your post saying that you don’t want to buy a mini PC so disregard that advice but if you want to stream to TVs on a budget, I am a big fan of the Fire Stick. If you get them on sale, they’re usually available for half the listed price (about $25 when I got them). You can get them on ebay if you don’t want to support Bozos. Currently they’re very easy to configure and they work great as long as you can get over the clunky menu design.

I am just some rando but I think this poster may have meant tinymediamanager as opposed to tinymusicmanager. I use tinymediamanager and it’s great.

There should be an indefinite moratorium on this research under the current regime. Way too much potential for abuse.

In the shade, but that’s not always available in orbit. The ISS uses massive radiators to shed waste heat.

Spout nonsense with enough confidence and you can wield unimaginable power. Am I talking about LLMs or president poopy pants?

Every time I see the words Secretary of State Marco Rubio I almost do a spit take.

Mine was in the Athens/Acropolis area.

SmartTubeNext has been working fairly well for me for like 5 years or something. It’s super easy to side load on a Fire stick.

I’ll continue not playing the game I’ve never played before. I’m doing my part!

A few bad actors can undo the work of thousands of hardworking people who care. I genuinely don’t know if the problem is solvable if it requires cooperation of the entire species. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

They’re gonna turn it around. Kirk had a Nokia car phone in Star Trek (2009).

I don’t understand why using AI is what makes this illegal. I don’t know the laws in Spain, but would it be illegal if they used a pencil or a paint brush? Seems like a weird line to draw if not.
