  • Why?

    Because I picked up a lifetime pass over 10 years ago, long before Jellyfin/Emby was even heard of.

    Back then, it worked perfectly fine, and now it works, perfectly fine.

    It has a good app on my Rokus/Shields. It just works.

    When, it stops working, or they pull something stupid, I have Jellyfin already ready to go.

    Until then though, plex reigns king. (Also, I like its interface more then Jellyfin)



  • A mini self-hosted cloudflare… you mean, like building a reverse proxy? If so… we already have treafik, nginx, haproxy, etc…

    Self-hosted, ruins the reason I use cloudflare, completely.

    I use cloudflare, because…

    1. DDOS / Attack protection. The bandwidth hits their servers, and not mine. You CANNOT SELF HOST ddos protection, unless you have a MASSIVE amount of bandwidth. Otherwise, it just overwhelms your internet connection. It doesn’t matter if the traffic is blocked. It still fills your pipe.
    2. Hiding my private IP / handling my dynamic IP.
    3. Processing my domain’s SMTP. You don’t want to handle email at your home IP… its likely blacklisted from major providers.
