It's overly grim, the science is dumb, and they should have let Michelle Yeoh captain for more than a couple episodes. It's too influenced by JJ Abrams. I dropped it part way through season 2.

Additionally, my family is ad-free, so I don't think Plex is a good fit for us.
1 TV, 3 Windows devices, 1 Mac laptop.
No apologies necessary, I really appreciate your help!
None of my displays are 4k or are "smart" (every smart TV I've touched has been frustratingly slow). I've been generally happy with 1080p monitors or tvs without processing and haven't had a reason to upgrade. Back in the day I was using a ps3 + ps3 media server. Since I've only been using legal streaming services my ps4 has been serving fine, but my patience for the number of platforms has worn thin (paramount+ was the last straw).
I was toying around with the idea of a raspberry pi as a media server that was also attached directly to my TV, but I heard that the pi has become overpriced and underpowered. I'll admit I have done no research about appropriate devices. Cheap, functional, and quiet is my aim. If that's a mini pc Linux box with specialty fans I can go that route, but if there's a simpler option it would be preferred.
I get the impression that most modern video files are 4k, which needs transcoding. Is there much selection of classic h.264 files in 1080p?
Thanks for the info! It seems like a shield + external storage would be the simplest setup then.
I do have a primary pc for gaming that I would use for initial download and transcoding (if necessary)... I'm also a father and working a job so my time is extremely limited. My spouse is sensitive to noise and we're trying to be careful with bills.
It's been a decade since I was tormenting, and basically stopped when my ISP gave me a warning to knock it off. Is a VPN the way to get around this nowadays? That used to be too slow. And what trackers are decent?
How quiet/energy intensive is a home media server?
The story with Pyrex is more nuanced than people think.
Yes, the type of glass was switched, but for safety reasons. The classic (all-caps, I believe) PYREX was able to handle the thermal shock of going straight from the freezer to the oven. When it did break, though, it broke into sharp splinters. Modern Pyrex needs to warm up some before being put into the oven, but when it breaks it does so in square chunks.
Like all glassware, scratches and chips seriously degrade the strength of the glass, even if those scratches aren't visible. Failure can happen unexpectedly because of slight impacts to invisible microfractures. Don't scrape your glass with metal utensils and be careful with secondhand Pyrex, because you don't know if it's been dropped before.
Instant pots absolutely break within a few years. Mine did at 4 years, after the second or third time I made bone broth in it.
That pet ownership is basically slavery
I believe it means when a plant suddenly flowers. Flowering changes the flavor and texture of many herbs and greens, such as chard or basil.
She was no mirror Sisko, that's for sure.
