That’s probably true. It’s one of the things we haven’t tried yet, and I figured most people would be scared off by the idea and call it too complex, even if I said use Bisquick.

A friend of ours has a portable/luggable pizza oven, and they make their own dough, and those pizzas are amazing. Just a lot of work to get everything rolling, so better done as a group while camping or something.

Yeah pizza was never cheap, but these days it’s very expensive.

Sometimes we make it at home, it’s not that hard if you get the bag of premade dough powder, just add water, costs a dollar or two.

But honestly? My cheat code is using tortillas. It’s like 80% close enough to real thin crust, works well.

Slap some spaghetti sauce on there (cheaper than pizza sauce per ounce, and similar enough), and some dry mozzarella. Maybe some pepperoni. A little garlic salt and some dried basil or whatever. Toss it in the toaster oven. Bob’s your mother’s brother.

Personal pizza for less than a buck a piece. Or maybe A buck a piece? I haven’t priced things in a minute.

Honestly the most expensive part is the pepperoni. (Hint, buy it once, and freeze it, you don’t need that many at once and it won’t go bad).

All jokes aside, movement is healthy, even if just walking around the block, down the sidewalk, or down the street (I don’t know where you live).

Our bodies are made to move. And while I enjoy vegging out as much as the next person, and I definitely don’t go to the gym, I try to go for a short walk at least once a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.

Also not getting any sunshine at all can give you SAD.

I highly recommend getting out of the house occasionally, for your long term health. You’ll feel better too.

So basically if I slap emby on an open port, and point my domain to my IP, it’ll work just the same. Connect is just for people without static IP addresses?

I ask because most people say you can’t put JF on an open port and call it good. Not safe.

Emby is based on jf from years ago. Is it safe?

Doesn’t emby have some kind of “connect” feature? I wish jf would do something like that

Wait, does emby do remote access similar to Plex? And without VPN like JF? That’s literally the only thing keeping me on Plex.

Most people are not gonna go that route unfortunately. I want to love JF, but the remote access is a big sticking point, especially for non tech relatives.

It bugs me when people just say tailscale like that solves it all. It’s very useful and solves a lot of problems, but not all. Unfortunately.

Doesn’t that mean your jellyfin server is directly exposed to the Internet? The very thing everyone constantly warns against?

I’m still on Plex, one of my biggest hangups with JF is that the remote access is kludgy

Not for all clients, like Roku for example.

Yes the solution is different hardware, like a Google TV, older firestick, raspAP, or flash openwrt on a router. But that’s no longer plug and play and may have other caveats. Besides costing money.

No shade, it’s just not QUITE that simple every time.

My fiber install last year came with a “free” eero router, I sent it back.

My fiber install this year came with one, this time I refused to let them install it.

Isn’t there something about your eyes focusing further away stereoscopically, but individually they are focusing closer? Like a single lense doing a macro focus on an up close image, rather than two cameras adjusting their angle to make their images line up for an object far away.

There’s a word for this but I can’t think of it right now.

Anywho, I thought focusing up close was still bad for your eyes in the long term?

I love tower climbing. I do it as a hobby, not for work. But I considered a career in climbing when I was younger.

Just popping in to say it’s insane that a 750k house is positioned as reasonable in this scenario. The housing market is truly insane.

Before anyone else comments, I get it, the market varies depending on where you live. Around me, “reasonable houses”, that being 2 ish bedrooms, 1 ish bath, are somewhere between 250k and 500k. But that’s still disgusting. 10 or 15 years ago that would’ve been 60 to 150k, in my same area. I’m still kicking myself for not buying back then, not that I had the means, but I almost did. Now? Sheesh.

The crazy part is, renting isn’t even cheap!

Rent in my area is around 1.5k per month for 2 bedroom 1 bath… My rent has been lower than that thankfully, though climbing, but that’s the going rate.

With good credit, and 20k down, that could be a mortgage payment on an entire house twice the size. Still disgusting but at least then you’re building equity of some sort.

But who’s got that when 25% of Americans have no savings at all, and only 50% can cover 3 months expenses in an emergency?

Yet new housing is built all the time. Why? Because it’s lucrative for those with gobs of money, holding all the housing.

My landlord is no saint, but he has 2 buildings, 4 units each, with detached garages. They aren’t premium, slightly dated, but they’re miles better than slumlord stuff. Nice neighborhood too. I’d put my grandma in there. Yet he consistently keeps the rent at less than 60% of the local average.

Honestly he SHOULD charge more. But I’m not telling him that. He does it because he can’t stand the thought of gouging people to get rich. Though I’m sure he’s still making plenty, as his new truck would indicate. But still.

My neighbors complain about him, and one even left. Then begged to come back because other renters locally were more expensive, and less attentive. He let them back 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for this gem

That’s fair 😂

Can you burst shot with flash on modern cameras? Honest question, I don’t professional photography

I can’t find a movie by that name? There’s a TV show though

This is solid. I wonder if you could rig up a ddns somehow to keep it seamless?

I only just recently UPGRADED to 1080. I spent the better part of the last decade only dealing in 720p.

My TV has been 1080 forever, I plan on upgrading to 4k for HDR, miniLED. I might try some 4k stuff 🤷‍♂️
