This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sorry, your favorite media server is just files you play on a browser?
I mean, not shaming, I just had never heard of that being preferable to Plex/Emby/Jellyfin.
Yeah, I am too lazy to set up something like Jellyfin. It only makes sense for me with music, for which I use Navidrome. But again, my setup is mostly directory/filename based, so it's really being carried with m3u playlists as opposed to proper metadata.
I mean, maybe I'll use Jellyfin if I'll do something in a proper way, but currently I don't see the point of it. And anyway, I can always copy the URLs to VLC, which will even accept DVD ISO files.
e.g.:
let's me play entire copy of a DVD, properly with menus and bonus features, just as if I used the DVD directly.
Although I don't do this anymore because of storage limitations, but I'll likely return back to it once I'll have a proper media server and LAN.
Kinda based tho tbh
"If it works, it ain't stupid" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It can definitely work and be stupid
