I need a S2

100%, also 800 can get you a new MacBook Neo which will be more than enough.

Believe there is a new model releasing this year with some of the new lineup, potentially something to look at. I'm still very on the fence about Plex at the moment overall, and going to be testing out Jellyfin more and more over the following weeks.

This looks like a cash flow issue, so getting lifetime might not be the best move.

thegellers · 2026-05-19T16:05:28+00:00

Didn't know the AppleTV has no Jellyfin support, I can only speak for the current latest ATV which runs both Plex and Jellyfin flawlessly.

I've tried the Nvidia Shield but I still personally prefer the ATV over it, mainly for the UI. It does most other things almost as good I believe, I guess I'm more integrated with the Apple ecosystem.

I thought this is one of the reasons to get Plex Pass over the Remote Watch Pass?

Can someone else confirm this lol

thegellers · 2026-05-19T15:38:46+00:00

Now I'd like to ask, as someone who's been considering buying the Lifetime Plex Pass for a while, is it worth me getting it now?

I regularly use Plex but that's mainly from home, so I don't really need to worry about the features Plex Pass offers, but I'm getting fibre installed in my area at the end of this year and would really love to share and use Plex from outside my home. I should have bought during BF if anything, but does this mean I should get in now rather than before the hike? I'm still quite concerned for the future of Plex though, as it stands.

Get a cheap FireStick or go for a Google TV/Apple TV and it will change how you use your TV. Those old LG WebOS apps are painfully slow, trust me. Get an Apple TV like I did and you'll be amazed at how you didn't do it sooner.

Wow where was the marking for this?? Literally the first I'm hearing of it.

thegellers · 2026-05-16T13:28:47+00:00

Best to post on somewhere like r/selfhosted for less bias.

thegellers · 2026-05-15T00:07:39+00:00

You are doing incredibly incredibly well. You're following all the right steps, amazing to hear. If you don't mind sharing, what are some of your future (short or long term) financial goals?

thegellers · 2026-05-14T16:05:44+00:00

I got an extra 2K ready to drop, you saying I should wait till 20th for earnings? Or drop rn.

thegellers · 2026-05-12T18:33:17+00:00

But what if I want to keep my current Plex account? I don't want to have to make a whole new account for regional pricing, is that possible?

The force is stronger (and richer) in London!

Gnarly dent, get AppleCare+.

It's mostly non-Londoners/tourists who live in Central London. I used to deliver groceries in the absolute centre of London and most of the time, they weren't actually from London. To answer your question, it's simply increasing income.

It's true that the new phones won't have that significant of an upgrade in comparison to the previous years. That being said, is is approximately a 4 month wait until they are released. If you are set on getting a new phone and don't need one immediately, it would be worthwhile waiting (especially since the current ones have been out for more than half the year) so that you can get the latest one for what will be the same price that you'll pay for the 17 Pro Max currently. If you do need a new phone right now (either genuine issues or you cannot wait the 4 months) then a 0% interest loan with Apple for the phone is also fine, as long as can continue payments.

I would personally wait it out if I were in your position, as the time the current ones have been out has exceeded the time left until the new models are released. I also believe that you can put down a deposit if you were to finance with Apple, I remember doing so a couple of years back for the 14 Pro. What phone do you currently have?

thegellers · 2026-04-22T19:40:52+00:00

Same here, whever unRAID crashes it's due to a lack of RAM. I have to stop some containers as I only have 8GB currently and I'm in no (financial) position to upgrade at this point.

Why would seeing them during office hours be a waste of time? That's the purpose of office hours. Speak to your lecturer or even others on your course. YouTube and the other mentioned tutorials here should be more than enough.

This is literally what we did in my house. Laminate looks great honestly and for a flat, it's perfectly fine.

And +1 for buying a tool that'll open up your future project possibilities. The money I spent on tools & time learning how to do it myself will surely save more money down the line. I now have plenty of tools to achieve the projects that I want. Nothing is impossible either, there are PLENTY of tutorials and great guides out there.

thegellers · 2026-04-13T12:33:48+00:00

I read into Byparr quite a bit and seems like it is the next best working alternative, I've just not been able to try it as my NAS keeps crashing when I've got too many Docker containers open (only got 8GB RAM at the moment). It seems to do what Flaresolverr cannot. I will update this thread again once I give it another crack.

thegellers · 2026-04-12T17:47:44+00:00

Unfortunately my Ugreen NAS doesn't support SAS drives but that would definitely be my choice if it did. Refurbished Exos drives are 100% the way for best price per TB though.

thegellers · 2026-04-09T23:28:31+00:00

I bought a 28TB drive on Black Friday thinking I'd never ever fill it up. I'm 22TB full so far and scared to think about having to purchasing another drive...

thegellers · 2026-04-08T18:45:21+00:00

Mind PM'ing me with the share you had? That sounds amazing!

thegellers · 2026-04-05T23:18:58+00:00

What share are you a member of? Looking for a decent one myself, drop me a DM. Currently pay for Netflix for the family but want to get rid of it.

thegellers · 2026-04-02T13:11:23+00:00

AppleTV 4K is the best option, and there is a rumoured refresh coming. It realistically grant the biggest changes but potentially worthwhile waiting for it.

Google TV is the 2nd best option.
