I got that idea from the times when I couldn’t stream to my TV in my home while my internet was down. Switched from Plex several years ago though

Easier sure, but it comes at the expense of all traffic (even streaming to a device on your local network) going through their servers. If you have an internet outage or their servers go down, you can’t even stream media locally with Plex. No such issues with Jellyfin.

Edit: apparently my frustrations about this were based on something I set up incorrectly, so +1 point for Plex working locally without internet, -1 point for ease of use/setup if I had this wrong for years without knowing it or finding the fix on my own.

I’ve been considering treating all my gear with permethrin. Any tips?

Yea the “safety concerns” are basically completely unfounded and any industry professional knows it.

As an electrician in a non-union state, my impression of the IBEW is that they can be pretty conservative/reactionary at times. Still wish I could find work under the IBEW here though…

From what I’ve read both arch and debian stable aren’t vulnerable to this. It targeted mostly debian-testing.
