Don’t forget Panama…

I’m sure most are aware of this but, just incase anyone passing through is not… Haiku OS

Works great in a VM… fun to play with, have not tried bare metal / daily driving it though.

Fedora… it took way to long to figure out how to remove all the software I didn’t need / want and still have a functional system. I will not subject myself to that pain again 🙂

Just a suggestion but take a look at this list… all of them should be either open source or at least free (trials, lite versions, etc.).

Find out what you use at work and see if there’s a trial version or if they use open source.

If not most of these tools are known and you may be able to find help online (forums, Lemmy, Reddit, etc.).

Yeah but… will they actually remember where they buried their acorns?

Someone just found LOIC on Sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/loic/

Make profit machine go brrrrr!

Appreciate the details on Infuse. Still looking at all the options, thanks for the response!!

Thank you for the info on these. As I figure out what I want to do, I will keep these in mind! Sounds like some good stuff.

Agreed, Apple is not above scrutiny on the privacy front. Appreciate the response.

Appreciate the info / response. I’ll have to check out alldebrid, stremio, and torrentio; those are new to me.

I will give this a look, appreciate it!

Thank you! I’m going to start looking at the Synology NAS devices. I have one of their routers which I really like so the NAS stuff should be similar (fit, finish, interface, etc.).

Appreciate the comment. The Roku seems to be pretty popular and luckily it’s just me, so I can experiment.

Thank you for this! I’ll look more at the Synology NAS devices and see what that’s all about. I’m probably the other way around, stream more, and emulate once in a while.

Yeah, a sad side effect of the subscription/advertising economy. Current TV has as much of that turned off, that I can find at least. Although I haven’t gone full “remove everything from the network”, yet 🙂

Adding that to my to-do list for research, thank you for the post!!

Yup, I did go down the rabbit hole and read the links and stuff. Interesting reading and something to consider. I guess it’s back to a non-networked DVD/Blu-Ray player and get stuff from the local library or Craigslist :)

Appreciate your comment, and that seems like a common setup. If you didn’t have the ATV, what would you front end the Plex server with? I have a Synology router and would probably buy a Synology NAS, if I went that route.

If I may ask, what are you using to host the Plex server? I’ve read about people using NAS devices (Synology, etc. which has Plex available natively) and running a PC with a lot of storage. Appreciate the comment!
