Peer tube already supports P2P. If 10 people are all watching the same video they'll share pieces to other people.

I was trying to throw it up in my home lab a couple of months ago and having to set it up with public access DNS and namespace beforehand seemed unnecessary. If there was an option where At least in part it were just like a torrent client I think it would go over a lot better.

It's less painful than it sounds. You install the server pointed at your media files set up the same shares as you have for Plex. There's not a lot of finagling there

If it makes you feel better, it doesn't get much worse than where you're at now in terms of socialization.

A lot of people spend years wearing about what other people are saying and thinking about them. When you hit your forties you realize nobody's saying or thinking anything about you at all, You're too busy dealing with their own slice of hell.

Screw all that, dark mode is better for my brain.

Light mode makes my pupils dilate more which probably corrects my vision a little better, But I'm not constantly seeking out dark mode on all my applications for nothing. I feel better reading text in dark mode than I do in light mode.

DINO, they're simply complicit.

That's just an opportunity for a new day-drinking game

It's true, they can. But that storage isn't cheap either. If everyone up and walked away from twitch the peer tube instances couldn't handle it in bandwidth or storage.

I honestly like to see peer tube architecture change a little bit. Instead of contributors needing to stand up an entire server to join in the pool maybe They could just leave a platform dependent executable running that provides local storage and peering, The indexing could still be left to the hosted servers.

I feel that everyone should be paying to host their video locally, and then benefit from Network peering for distribution.

The fact that commercial sites pay to keep nearly limitless amounts of your files online as frankly insane.

Well, you probably wouldn't know any of the passwords. All the logs would be from the future which shouldnt cause real issues, But the log clients would probably just play things out of order, or maybe in order but confusing? depending on how far in the future, crypto keys might not be valid yet.

Absolutely run them together.

Especially in light of Plex trying to keep tabs on what everybody's doing and probably resell that data.

Finamp keeps creeping towards Plex amp and functionality. I don't love how Plex treats music either but the client seems to bridge the gap.

I've been using both for ages.

For remote access to friends plex is easier and cleaner.

For offline viewing in Android plex is cleaner

I'm running tailscale with jellyfin for personal use and it's wonderful, But I wouldn't ask my relatives to do that and I don't trust to surface the port. Plex has a dedicated security team and 2FA.

The Roku client for jellyfin is also a futureless husk of a client.

I have lifetime Plex so I'm in no hurry to do a full conversion. I would love to drop plex all together though

I actually use both quite a bit.

Firefox isn't a slam dunk on all platforms for all sites. It takes a solid 30 seconds for it to let me use my cameras and mics in Linux. Some corporate sites just don't work with it. Thankfully they fix the speed issues with it not too long ago so it's almost as fast. A lot of corporate developers don't even test it on their internal stuff.

For most people and most purposes it would be absolutely fine. It's a mixed bag for me, I still use it as much as I can.
