Statick

Also a lifetime Plex holder. Plex wouldn’t let me watch my local content without authenticating the other day… But my internet went out and I couldn’t. Decided I’d swap to Jellyfin the first chance I could (couldn’t that day because no internet)… So that’s what I did today. It was painless and I’m never going back to Plex.

Disclaimer, I don’t need access outside of my house so I didn’t set any of the remote stuff up.

If you’re tech savvy, look into selfhosting SearXNG.

I think there are public instances as well.
