Something I do is use a Tailscale Funnel to share a regular link with friends and family and it works well, without them needing an account.

1 yearI was disappointed with the automatic redact feature too, but saw that they just updated and added a graphical one also.

Linux@programming.dev•Games on Whales - Stream multiple desktops and games from a single host
2 yearsSuper cool! I came across this a few days ago myself actually, and it’s really cool how easy it is to set up. Sadly I’m running Windows at the moment on my main gaming rig, so I’m still using Sunshine for now.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin ServerEnglish
2 yearsAgreed, you’re probably going to run into network bottlenecks before storage read times become an issue
Yeah exactly this, the main bottleneck when writing code is either reading the existing code or thinking about how I want to implement some logic, not how I move my cursor and writing the code itself.

Most TVs these days have a USB port for exactly this purpose, you can load media files up onto a flash drive and plug it in, then you should be able to browse the files and play it from there.
However, if you want to be able to play files hosted on your PC without having to copy them to a drive, you would have to set up a media server like Jellyfin on your PC and either buy or build a compatibility for your TV. Fire TV sticks or a Chromecast would work as cheap options to buy, or you could look into hosting a Kodi instance if you have spare hardware lying around.
There are really a ton of options, my above suggestions are only scratching the surface.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What ebook reader to buy that works with selfhosted ebook library?English
3 yearsI believe Calibre has the ability to send books via the Kindle email address to get them on your device that way.



So far I haven’t noticed any limitations, but I only use it infrequently (at most once or twice a week to watch an episode or two of a show together).
So YMMV, not sure how much you typically stream. I guess you could always have the other person manually set a lower quality so less data is being sent if you run into issues. The price of them not installing Tailscale!
