I use Plex. I have different libraries set up for movies, TV shows, educational videos, home videos, and during the pandemic it was great because my kids were doing dance class remotely, so I even set up a library so they could have all their dance class videos in one spot to practice their routines. I also organize my family photos there as well, which works out great to have those and the home videos all in one place. I can even give family members access to various libraries if they want to view family photos/videos, which has been handy as well.

Lots of people swear by jellyfin, but I've had so much success with Plex that I haven't bothered to check it out. It's probably easy enough to get a server for each up and running and see which you prefer.

Do you know where the pairing key is stored? The instructions just say "obtain the pairing key" which isn't particularly helpful...

Yeah, this finally clarifies where the terms shard and wedge come from for me!

These guys made some certified bangers. Trogdor, the strongbadia national anthem, tonight is alright for tonight, the cheats lightswitch rave.... So many awesome songs!

I agree. I like the idea that there's a trek for everyone. I love strange new worlds, but (initially) wasn't really into the idea of lower decks, and that's ok because I think it gives everyone something different to look forward to and avoid the problem of oversaturation. You can choose the shows you like and miss the ones you don't.

That being said, I'm glad they did the crossover episode with lower decks because it made me give the show a shot and I ended up really liking it.

ask you to signup for a library card.

Diabolical...

Same here. Plex just makes sharing with family so much simpler. My mom and dad can figure it out just as easily as my kids can and the amount of time I have to do tech support for anyone has been literal zero, which is a huge bonus for me, personally.

Yeah, it sounds like a problem with a contributor to Shutterstock not following the terms of use. The person who put together the marketing materials for Loki was just using stock images. I don't think it should be on them to enforce shutterstock's TOU.

Attacking civilians is also plain and simple terrorism

So we're in agreement that this is essentially two terrorist states fighting each other? And the biggest losers in all of this will be the innocent Israeli and Palestinian citizens who just want to live their lives in peace. Meanwhile Hamas and the Israeli state get to go back and forth playing the their sick game of race-to-the-bottom-of-the-morality-barrel trying to blow each other to smithereens.

All of the pieces. On both sides of the board. Mentally it's much more taxing keeping track of which pieces are yours. We guys have it really easy with the whole black/white pieces.
