I stick to 264 for the same reason. I’m happy running Plex from my Pi4. Multiple streams are fine to devices around the home.

Also streams fine on my phone when external.

I don’t think the 5 has any hardware for encoding

You can work around the need to go around updating all sites with your new email address… at least the next time you need to change your email address.

I use SimpleLogin to create a unique alias (on my own domain) for each website. When I finally migrated to Proton all I had to do was add the proton email address to SimpleLogin and delete my old GMail address to get it to point to Proton (I started migrating to aliases before moving away from GMail). Likewise if I ever move in the future I only need to update SimpleLogin. I was looking to move to Skiff when my Proton renewal was due!

To set this up I had to obviously update every single website which was very time consuming. However I have much better protection now as email addresses are disposable should a site start spamming me. The only site that actually knows my Proton email address is Bitwarden, Proton itself and SimpleLogin.

Looking in my account I have over 300 aliases. Crazy.

Their free tier storage offering was amazing. I honestly couldn’t see how they could offer so much for free. I was very tempted at the time but chose proton. Although I think I may move to Fastmail when my renewal is due.

Regardless of who you choose. Use an aliasing service. It makes moving to a new provider/email address a breeze on the future. It took me days to go around updating all my 200 sites online. If I ever move from proton it will take me 5 minutes to ensure all my sites now go to my new provider.

My only tip would be to create a new domain rather than using a shared one. This will prevent some sites from blocking you from using an alias.

Awesome info! I wasn’t overly happy with having to use CloudFlare for just this one feature. I’ll have a test with my registrar.

The CNAME flattening is not a regular feature of DNS, so I have to use Cloudflare. Maybe other providers do the same, but I haven’t looked around. It’s certainly not something namecheap offer.

I point my TLD to the dynamic DNS record and then point to other records to the TLD as CNAME records. I’m using Nginx Proxy Manager to reverse proxy traffic to different services. These all live on a Raspberry Pi 4.

I don’t have a static IP but host services off my paid domain. I use duckdns and point host records to the duckdns address. I have to use CloudFlare to manage my DNS records for this to work.

Pi OS. It’s a Pi4 after all.

I don’t see it either, Android 6.43.1

I read on the Jellyfin site that the Pi5 has no hardware encoders…

Since I’m only streaming locally (on a Pi4) I don’t need to record anything but still.

I tried Linux for years but always have to go to the terminal for something. There’s a reason it’s a default application on every distribution. The CLI can be daunting for the unfamiliar but it’s actually very powerful.

Those trays in the photo. Are they still used in Canada? They’ve been gone for years in the UK.
