They are both media servers. Plex is closed source and requires you to make an account with them to use whereas jellyfin is open source and requires no account.

Basically when you set them up you just pick a directory for movies and tv shows and any video files in that directory can be streamed thru the app or web ui

I prefer jellyfin because of the differences i mentioned earlier but i use both (you can point them at the same directories). I haven’t really had any issues with jellyfin performance but run plex as a backup.

Plex has plex shares too where you can stream other peoples content from your server. Idk if jellyfin has that feature

Arr and stremio serve different purposes. If you just want to watch content yourself then do stremio.

If you want to keep certain movies yourself and want to supply a streaming service to friends and family then arr is better.

Arr has ability to watch your content with no internet.

If your into foss software arr is also way to go

Nice. Just want to point out that there is jellyseerr for jellyfin as an alternative to overseerr.

There is also reiverr which is new which allows managing sonarr,radarr, and jellyfin (basically it providers an interface to watch jellyfin content and also add episodes and movies to sonarr/radarr. I use reiverr for me as admin but it doesnt do requests as of now so i keep jellyseerr for my users

There is also watchtower on docker that automatically updates your images

And finally there is rdt-client (real-debrid torrent client) which is a real debrid client that pretends to be qbittorrent and allows sonarr/radarr to download from real debrid instead of torrenting it

You can use arpwatch. It reports new mac addresses on a given network interface.

Here’s my setup. I have a raspberry pi running pihole and unbound. I set that raspberry pi as my primary dns on my router. Now in order to use the internet all devices will make dns queries over wifi (you can use a wired pi as well) to the pi which means it will also see all devices using your wifi and notify you when a new one shows up or if an ip changes mac addresses.

Keep in mind these notifications use smtp (email) and you most likely need a mail server to receive them.

I have a matrix server on my network that has postmoogle (email bridge) that can receive the emails from arpwatch and send them to me as a matrix message

Yeah it’s more for privacy. Still you can just have it always on and it really wont cause many issues except for sites that block vpns.

Marketing mostly. The vpn makes an encrypted tunnel that you’re traffic goes thru. If using https and vpn there are 2 layers of encryption. It’s not false advertising bc an extra layer doesn’t hurt. Now if your sending password over http it would help but you shouldnt be using a site that sends passwords over plaintext. I would say vpn is mostly to either hide your ip from websites or to hide internet activity from your isp

Well im just saying thats what https is for but there’s nothing wrong with extra security

Yeah but it’s on a public wifi

Why is the vpn necessary when you have https to the bank? Just to hide you’re ip from the bank?

I’d like to know what it sends if you disable play services

Proton/orbot

I don’t think monero is a scam. It’s barely listed on any exchanges cuz it’s been banned for it’s privacy tech and the team behind it is really dedicated to one thing: privacy, they even helped fixed tor network

I’ll be honest i haven’t read their code. So invidious is just scraping youtube to pull all the data?
