it could also just be a group of rocks in the shape of a plane

This whole search was as useless as those plane shaped rocks. Wait a minute.. There's a plane behind those rocks!

Interesting, my pihole stops the app from working but the site viewed on a browser works just fine. Video too.

Do you use a custom block list? I haven't strayed from the default one but was thinking of playing around with them

The reddit api blocking 3rd party apps pushed a whole bunch of people onto lemmy, and lemmy is very big on FOSS and Linux so it's been a gateway of sorts

I love the PT Wellington does have, and am glad it's there but calling it great and implying its all fine and not in need of a significant upgrade is imo an enormous stretch.

There are very regular bus replacements at the moment, they shut down when the tracks heat up, the jville line is massively speed limited, services are infrequent out of commuting times and the whole system is geared to getting people into town. It's not a service many people can rely on for most of their trips and it forces people to drive and create the traffic you complain about. And that's not even getting into the buses.

Wow, trying to take it personal huh. People who need a vehicle for work would benefit from people who have other options besides driving through fewer vehicles on the road. I have told you this before, but you seem to be trying to claim I'm advocating people not to have vehicles fullstop.

I think I do, spending tens of billions of dollars on motorways to make traffic worse and increase transport emissions when they need to be reducing is a bad deal. It also starved the rest of the road network of maintenance funds the last time they did this.

All of them. They will increase sprawl, increase emissions and make congestion worse in cities.

Wouldn't you run into issues if you went to sell it though? I guess if you were planning to run it into the ground it wouldn't matter

If they wanted to get really 'equitable' on road users paying the cost of the roads they use they could commit to tolling the white elephant motorways they're planning on building.

To be honest I've mostly used the emby app so can't say too much about jellyfin's. I tested it at one point and it seemed to work the same re playback - generally the interface isn't as good I find.

Haha, the resolution downscaling for Netflix is to 480p I think, so you may notice it even on your 720p TV.

I went through this a while back and ended up with a SmartVU a7070 which I highly recommend. Main features for me were:

  • I still wanted freeview satellite connection, which this has and is all set up for out of the box
  • certified by Google play/Netflix. Virtually all of the cheap ones off aliespress and the like aren't certified for Netflix, so they are apparently limited to low playback resolutions.

It's not quite away from big tech being an android TV box and all, but I've been able to sideload apps and it runs emby/jellyfin great. It has a good remote too, which runs off Bluetooth so you can still use mice/keyboards etc.
