how would you know it's actually me, and not someone impersonating me?

Well, yeah the assumption here is that we both already knew and trust each other IRL and you personally give me this contact info and the check is there to make sure I was actually connected to you.

We as layman didn't do this but I would assumed someone who is a high profile target actually do this kinds of checks.

You and me both.

But after pondering the orbs for a minute I think they're saying, that it's just Emissary trying to get E2EE working and not Fediverse as a whole.

And they follow with some objection with the proposed draft. I can only comment on the 3rd one, it basically mean you need other channel of communication to manually compare fingerprint (i.e via Matrix/Signal) to make sure your activities on Emissary is actually encrypted, maybe lol.

I don't own an e-reader but if I'm not mistaken, kavita has a KOReader plugin so it probably possible to use it with an e-reader, android reader has many more options I think.

I watch a bunch of weekly anime stuff myself. Never have to worry about transcoding with my devices (locally) and just directplay it. Unless I watch it remotely then it transcodes, I never mess with the default settings and it's fine.

My cpu is i3 8100 so I think you would be fine as well, unless it's multiple streams at once I have no reference for that.

What did you dislike about synfonium? I'm considering switching since I don't have a plex subscription anyway so I did not get to enjoy the sonic analysis featured etc.

Intro skipping works pretty well once you set it up and give it time to scan.

Iirc the feature used to be an add-on with module and I read here somewhere it now baked in out of the box, is that the case ?

You may wind up transcoding even if you think you really shouldn't have to

I thought there's an edge case somewhere but from your explanation I don't think I need transcoding for video. Not that I don't want it.

My NAS is old, like, i3 2100 old. So I just make sure the media can be played directly on my 2 client locally, so I don't know how much HW transcode improve the performance but if it's usable, that's a nice bonus. Maybe if I ever get a 4K display but that's a problem for future me.

I spent a lot of time getting the metadata right in Plex

Pretty much yeah, I really don't wanna mess with the music library

Thanks for the answer.

I think I'll give it a try then.

Is there any consensus which client is better for desktop and android ?

Thank you.

Since you run both, I have a few questions if you don't mind.

I don't have a plex pass but, so the only feature I want is intro skipping and from what you mention I understand it needs tinkering. Acceptable for me.

My usage is pretty simple if I migrate to Jellyfin do I need to fuck around with my folder structures ? No special case just /movie/title | tv/title in my use-case with the usual arr stack for grabbing.

The client used currently is a desktop client on arch/windows and I don't need hardware transcoding. The server and libraries are on Truenas.

I don't need remote playback for movies/tvs but I have no idea how to replace Plexamp and if you have suggestions, feel free to mention it.
