Thanks for the very detailed advice. Definately some interesting things to follow up on. I got the plex pass when I bought the shield but never got it to connect remotely, but due to them putting ads in their films, I’m now thinking to switch to something else.
Great, I’ll repost, thanks. What’s a mesh network btw?
Emby sounds interesting, thanks.
Thanks. I couldn’t get plex to run from ‘off site’, it was probably something that I wasn’t doing properly.
I’m not sure if it was the vpn or not, but it never connected even though I set the tunnelling like it said.
Who gives a fucking shit about x fucking twitter? - let’s hope it crashes along with reddit !
PS cross post all the good stuff onto lemmy first - then just let it burn and sink!
Joplin syncs with Nextcloud - Orgzly does too. Agreed, Jtxboard does - via davx5.
I’m currently using obsidian synced via syncthing. I know it’s not Nextcloud, but it works well and has a nice interface and lots of plug-ins - even on Android. It might be able to sync - not bothered trying to yet - if anyone has, please comment.
Good luck with your search.
Thanks for the link - I’ll definitely look into it.
and my PC at home would have it downloaded automatically before I even got home.
Hi, could you please explain how you got this to happen? Thanks.
Interested myself as a usenet user.

Hi, not sure if this will work on roku, but it does fine on my nvidia, /u/Metigoth mentioned STN (SmartTubeNext) - it’s on github. You could download the apk and try side loading it. Edit: gotta get used to linking better.
Good luck, it’s kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.
Handy News Reader (F-droid).
If you’re not getting a full text feed for articles try changing your feed app (assuming android). I’m using handy News reader (flymm fork on F-droid). It retrives the full article text for all my feeds.
I’m using nzbgeek to find stuff. Then put the links it returns into eweka - a usenet provider. I’m new to this, so I’m just dipping my toe in to make sure it works. Currently it does but I’m sure there are better deals if you look around.
I have a newsgroup subscription, but a lot of the posts are obfuscated (confused titles that don’t make sense) so you can’t read the post headers like you can in (say) lemmy or reddit (spit! ) . So I also subscribe to a nzb provider (makes sense of the obfuscated) .
In terms of money it’s not too much - like £20/year.
The nzb provider searches the usenet then your newsgroup host downloads what you want.
I’m probably not very clear, and this has been a learning curve for me, but if I can help I will, just ask. It’s good fun - especially when it works!
Edit: too many ‘buts’
Thanks for making it clear - I misunderstood the problem.
A fantastic job is being done by you folks - obviously in the face of adversity. Given the amount of users on the instance is at a critical point, would it not be possible to ‘move’ accounts off it onto other less populated instances ?
Keep up the great work folks - I sympathise for ya.
Nice one. Ok if I get my head into where I want to be with this and come back to you? Much obliged for the offer.
Absolutely correct. I was referring to videos/films that I’m watching that are hosted by plex. Apologies if I didn’t make that clear. The videos that it hosts for me do not have adverts.
