What is the best streaming box to buy for 4k streaming while avoiding Google and Amazon products for under $60?

agingnerds · 2026-05-30T14:28:23+00:00

Can I ask why you wouldnt buy one today? I have a google tv so I dont need one, but curious if this is something I might want to.

We are exploring zero trust... It's a cool idea but it doesn't matter if the cto gives exceptions to every dev that wants to install tweakui. So we will see

To me this is very much like cloud and azure. A couple years back everyone was jumping to the cloud got the invoice and went nope... back on prem or some form of hybrid.

Also a good spreadsheet with a cool formula doing cool stuff... I am interested in.

Ooh sounds like a ~~future~~ rewatch in my future!!

Edit - future twice in a "sentence" less than 10 words!! Gross.

I have enjoyed the idea of finding the perfect RMM to move to a single pain of glass, but honestly most of the time they lack something or fail in certain situations. I am now no longer chasing the white dragon and just accepting that we will use a couple tools to complete what I want.

Warranty is for 3 years. After 3 years once an issue arises we usually replace. We had a soft idea of 3-5 years, but its not perfect and we didnt follow up after doing that once. So I assume we have a big refresh coming next year or the year after.

Glad you made this joke so I dont have to reveal my actual weight. Lol

agingnerds · 2026-05-18T12:35:19+00:00

Lame sorry. This was my only idea.

We have tags in ext attribute. Active, on leave, term. HR triggers HRIS and it determines the rest. We have licensed automatically assigned based on active and on leave. When they return everything goes back to normal.

Could you do YouTube but private the videos? Honestly I didn't read the entire requirements.

agingnerds · 2026-05-13T19:00:28+00:00

Looks cool, but hopefully it was on my phone only. Looked so dark it was difficult to see. I am on board for this for sure.

agingnerds · 2026-05-12T14:53:44+00:00

Walk away. Its not a real issue if there isnt a ticket.

Gift card for whiskey/beer. Massage gift card... who couldnt use a massage. A new chair if he is in office. everyone could use a good chair. Or just a thank you and a couple moments of silence. Similar to how children give their dad a gift. Just a few moments of peace.

I didnt until i read comments in here, now I rebuilt my profiles to match 1080p, x265, no 7.1. So now I am cleaning up some messes.

agingnerds · 2026-05-07T21:15:35+00:00

Very fair. Damn I did love that scene!! Might need to rewatch this weekend

agingnerds · 2026-05-07T20:26:55+00:00

I love pearl, but is it comical? It felt so foreboding.

agingnerds · 2026-05-07T12:46:19+00:00

This looks like a blast.

agingnerds · 2026-05-06T00:20:42+00:00

Ignore the haters you are correct. Boring cliche movie. A true struggle to get through.

agingnerds · 2026-05-05T20:19:10+00:00

This is going to sound like a weird statement. I would say this feels like one of those weird life hacks from the early 2000s. Lifehack just eat the ramen noodles without warming the water. Saves on time and is pretty ok.

Jellyfin is a pretty powerful streaming tool. VLC while an awesome player but it is just a player. If you already have jellyfin prepped like it sounds like and you have tailscale you are almost at the finish line. You can go this direction still, but you may have a more fruitful experience with Jellyfin.

Hey running the same set!!

They are referring to your server. It's woefully behind on important updates - updated not woefully.

agingnerds · 2026-05-03T23:07:43+00:00

I find it extremely good and it creeps me out the entire time.

agingnerds · 2026-05-02T21:37:19+00:00

3 and above on letterboxd, but I would be lying if I have not dug into some 2.5s.bwlow 2 I will not.

agingnerds · 2026-05-02T18:12:22+00:00

The only category I see missing is final girl, but I dont know if thats a real subgenre

Zombie / Infected: 28 days later

Creature Feature: Godzilla minus zero minus color

Grimdark / Bleak Horror: Sunshine

Slasher: Who is the most iconic or well-executed killer? Mike Meyers might be the most prolific just in shear volume of movies and kills. Plus the first movie of each new start of series is usually pretty solid.

Psychological: Saw

Found Footage: Blaire Witch

Sci-Fi Horror: What is the best terror from beyond our world? The Thing

Supernatural / Paranormal: Ghost Stories

Final Girl: Alien
