That's one way. Or you can contribute code, help others in the forum, file bug reports... OR if you're the lazy one like me you can actually give them money.

Don't like subscriptions? Ok by me, but please don't think that complete teams will be working on great and secure software for free. That's not something that can be maintained for a long time.

If you like something, contribute to it.

I do agree that it's pretty cool that HA can be used for free, but if you like something and use it regularly please find ways to contribute.

I believe playing with visibility would be the easiest way

This is the first time I'm exploring this, but I think you're wrong.

On Mastodon you can:

So post visibility is not something you set per profile, but per post. But you have an effective tool to decide who you let in AND remove on the way.

Yeah, I was also wondering about the transcoding. And thanks for the power draw comment, great to know. Sounds manageable.

I still think you should give this one a try. Unless, you're goal is not like having an actual solution, but doing this project as a hobby, and throwing some money at it. Which is also fine, I've done the same before.

Testing one or two of these media severs will cost you some hours of your time. Anything other will take much more time, effort and money.

Peripherals are one thing, handling concurrent streams, transcoding... is another one.

So in theory, a Pi can be kept alive with a power bank, but OP is expecting (as I understood) multiple hours of streaming (with "local" only access) , which includes the above tasks for multiple concurrent streams. How big of a power bank we're talking about and how long will it last?

As others already wrote, I would go with the Plex server at home and using the "Download" feature to have some content available offline for the times you don't have internet. You can actually set a limit for the size of the download library and individually set video and audio quality for the files.

Seen raspberry pi mentioned some times, I don't have one, so maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there would be an easy way to power it up on a train for example.

It might be the remastered version. I get your point, and the graphics in AW2 were top notch, but as someone who's not a huge fan of the horror genre, I kind of felt nostalgic for the original game. Wasn't that frightening 😀

I would say in that case of making the best use of all their offerings (mail, drive, calendar) Proton unlimited is the way to go: https://proton.me/drive/pricing I made the switch a year ago from a Google and I'm happy with Unlimited.

But they also have a free tier, good enough to try everything out. Plus individual subscription options for every one of their products (for example Drive Plus).

Can confirm, seen it live. As soon as LogSeq was open on both devices it threw an error.

There's always a chance with these cases. But I don't think the Steelers are that bad. They already had a pretty decent roster last year which they manage upgrade in important places (Patrick Queen for example) and don't forget that Tomlin is universally liked between players. Even with everyone putting them 4th in the AFC North, they still have a pull.
