What are the alternatives besides the IA?

You would think the administration would champion these efforts, even continue or expand subsidies for it and other things like EVs. Instead they seem to be doing most of what they can in their power to quash green energy.

Because they very transparently are personally getting paid by fossil interests. It’s a naked grift, just like everything else this administration does.

AfD, whose internal emails were leaked for all the world to see who they really are?

Please understand that none of that stuff matters. Trump/AfD etc is about being maladaptive and antisocial. Trump voters aren't reading emails and they don't care about the Epstein files either. The sooner people understand this, the sooner we'll be able to, maybe, just maybe, get out from under this.

The administration has had years and the entire federal legal apparatus at its disposal to prove anything untoward occurred in 2020. Where is that?

Bleak that this is the default.

How is this different from Jellyfin?

Jellyfin can only be used from remote if you can expose its ports somehow. Lots of routers block that, or your ISP is set up such that you need NAT tricks, and have to use STUN and TURN and such to work around it. Jellyfin doesn't handle any of that. Tailscale helps here, but then if you want family members to use it, you have to set them up on tailscale as well. Or you set up a service on a VPS.

I wrote this because I'm unhappy with the offerings out there, including Emby, Plex, and Jellyfin. Also too many bugs that have been sitting for years with no solution. For Jellyfin in particular:

- SyncPlay is buggy, doesn't support voice, and seems to be unmaintained now.

- Way too many CVEs, mostly FFmpeg injections (CVE-2026-35033, CVE-2026-35032, CVE-2026-48793, CVE-2025-31499).

- The session key leaking in URLs.

- Upgrades breaking the database.

- Needless transcodes and wrong "can play this" guesses.

- Subtitles that load late or drift after resuming.

I use jellyfin remotely with tailscale. It was trivial to set up. There's probably a dozen other holepunching mesh VPN approaches that would also work. Not to mention Iroh is in the mix now too.

Andor was good, but let's not kid ourselves that it's in that same stratum of television greats.

That's not the entire story and anyone who has done their diligence on it knows this.

My casual read is that the CCP can tolerate both the far left and right in the US, but only the far right is near the levers of power, and the far right is apt to leave them alone entirely(America first).

These aren't mutually exclusive
