MakeMKV has worked well for me. I was using it on a 10 year old PC until I recently upgraded.

If you use the browser extension on Firefox it will do this automatically.

You’re correct. The Fire Stick would be a client. I currently use a Pi 4 as my server and it works great, but I use KODI instead of jellyfin. This means that nothing trys to transcode when I use it. However, my brother is able to connect to my server through Tailscale and he does some sort of GPU pass thru with a jellyfin container and as far as I know it works great.

If you’re looking for mini PC recommendations, I have been very happy with my Beelink Ser8. It was chosen specifically for handbrake encoding and is an order of magnitude faster than my underpowered decade old desktop.

Edit. I just reread your post saying that you don’t want to buy a mini PC so disregard that advice but if you want to stream to TVs on a budget, I am a big fan of the Fire Stick. If you get them on sale, they’re usually available for half the listed price (about $25 when I got them). You can get them on ebay if you don’t want to support Bozos. Currently they’re very easy to configure and they work great as long as you can get over the clunky menu design.

You may want to check out https://www.thewebernets.com/ blog posts. I use some of the recommend setups for my movies and most look great, but I do use subtitles which I think he mostly skips in his setups.

I am just some rando but I think this poster may have meant tinymediamanager as opposed to tinymusicmanager. I use tinymediamanager and it’s great.

It’s a stupid meme but it’s mine!

This guy’s right. Isn’t that the one where they made Janet show us her titty? Never forget!

I’m unfamiliar with the 80’s movie and was hoping for an adaptation of Simon R. Green’s space opera of the same name.

I managed to solve it in the early 2000s with nothing other than a lot of time. I just messed with it whenever I was not typing at a customer service job. Definitely no genius required. Just persistance.

And then bring home 6 figures. If nothing else, it pays to be on the wrong side of history.

You could probably name any race from Trek and justify them as Gorn food.

This happened to my parents in the 90s in Florida. They did a consultation with a lawyer and he told them to stop paying rent. So they did. Saved the money and used it to make a downpayment on their first house. I don’t know if it still applies but it’s probably worth a look.

Is this something that can be reversed in a subsequent administration or something we will be stuck with if the rebublicants dont steal the next election?

I feel like Any Weir’s name should be on this poster. He’s a bigger draw than Gosling in my book.

I’m certain it was 100% just like the weird al biography.

I believe what you are looking for is called the unbearable weight of massive talent.

Beakman’s World

Why? A majority of people support doing more to address climate change but the powers that be don’t represent the interests of anyone except the people that are actively trying to make it worse.

I like Mark Cuban for the whole https://www.costplusdrugs.com/ thing he’s doing. I have no idea whether or not he’s a decent guy, but this is a decent thing to do, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.
