I got started with jellyfin and never used Plex but there’s a bunch of rough edges:

• No apps on several smart tv/streaming stick stores, Vizio has an app for plex but not jellyfin so I would need to buy a new streaming device. Yes smart tvs spy on you but the alternatives people recommend either spy on you just as much or are expensive (Nvidia shield) and most of them still require side loading so it’s a major obstacle for sharing with anyone else.
• Casting from the mobile app won’t play at full resolution, you can get around this by using VLC as your player and casting from that but that causes it to frequently lose watch progress. Also stopping casting or playing the next episode doesn’t work properly with VLC and you need to rapidly mash “back” to get into the jellyfin app again and queue up a new episode.
• The current release of Jellyfin desktop won’t play audio for iptv streams, this is fixed in the dev branch but I have yet to find a build without other critical bugs so I’ll likely need to wait for the next release which currently has no target date.
• The browser version has spotty controller support that stops working constantly. When it does work it lacks any way to access context menus to mark shows as watched etc. If you’re using a flatpak browser to run it on steam deck or whatever, you’ll have codec and passthrough issues (Chrome is the only flatpak with decent codec support).
• Others have mentioned the security issues which you can bypass by putting authentik or something in front of it but then you can only share with people using browser.

There are a bunch, some have the “eggs” attached with little strings to make them fling in different directions, some keep the eggs in jelly until they’re ready to be splashed out, some are weird little balls that burst open instead of cups with lids that pop off.

You usually find them on twigs, they’re hard to spot because they’re all pretty tiny.

I can practically hear Cecil reading this in an overly cheerful tone on an episode of Welcome to Nightvale.

I wanted to get started without having to learn a bunch of Linux networking and docker stuff so I used this pre-built mediastack compose file.

Then I spent weeks fixing all the problems with it, upgrading the outdated packages that they pinned, sorting through the outdated/incomplete setup docs, and disabling the apps I don’t need (so many monitoring dashboards without config instructions). Now I know a bunch of Linux networking and docker stuff.

I’d still recommend mediastack as a reference just because it’s a good example of how to set up secure internet access (the diagrams of the network architecture are great) but their “full download vpn” config is overkill (most of this stuff doesn’t really need to be accessible from the Internet in the first place) and even their “mini download vpn” unnecessarily puts the Usenet download client (SABnzbd) in a VPN.

I’ve seen a few folks mention trash guides, while they’re great, their quality settings weren’t written for current hard drive prices so you might want to skip the part where you crank up all your preferred bitrates to the maximum.

One thing I added which is haven’t seen mentioned yet is Tunarr to create live tv channels for shows I like to have on in the background. It’s great when it works but it’s in active development so I frequently have issues with it. Thankfully the devs are responsive and helpful.

Boiling and changing the water removes the psychoactive compounds as well as the ones that keep you on the toilet all day if you’ve done it correctly (both are water-soluble). At that point it’s just a culinary mushroom.

People who are “detoxifying” it to use as a drug bake it at a low temperature which does a poor job of removing any of the toxic or psychoactive compounds so they get a bad high and end up on the toilet half a day (seriously, just order some cube spores or something if IDing good actives is too hard).

There are edible mushrooms which are really hard to ID, but you just don’t try to eat those.

Most people don’t go after the tasty Sheathed woodtuft (Kuhernomyces mutablis) because the risk of confusing it with the deadly funeral bell (Galerina marginata)

I’ve occasionally seen some false chanterelles (Hygrophoropsis sp.) do a pretty good chanterelle impression but they’re not toxic, just bland and not well-tolerated.

I’ve heard some people use them as cocktail bitters.

This is very much not the case with mushrooms, most people who’ve accidentally eaten a deathcap (Amanita phalloides) have reported that they’re delicious. Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) which can be detoxified by boiling it and changing the water multiple times, is pretty darn good. I think it’s better than the average grisette (the non-toxic Amanita sect. vaginatae spp.).

Ok the other other hand, the destroying angel (Amanita ocreata) is said to taste pretty bad.

For a non-amanita example, I’ve spit-tested the toxic Agaricus deardorffensis and I thought it tasted pretty good. That one is an odd case though since some people are unaffected by its poison and it’s possible that’s correlated with not being able to detect the unpleasant sharpie-like odor it’s said to have, but I wasn’t willing to give myself the shits for science so it remains a mystery.

So this?

2 was a prequel about Mike and Sulley in college because they couldn’t imagine a sequel to Monsters inc either. It was fine but pretty unnecessary, I definitely wouldn’t expect a 3 to be any good.

+1 I only keep multiples of commonly used cables and I use ziplock bags to keep cables of the same type together in my cable box so it’s easy to tell if I’ve accumulated too many.

The suits won’t let 'em.
