....why, though?
I mean, technology is cool and I like a neat portable setup as much as the next person, but why take this to a beach? Can you not be away from social networks and your home LAN for even a few hours at a beach? :-(

@obinice Only for maybe one or two nights where we do a family movie night after very long days outdoors. It was just a fun thing to build for the fun of it.

@blewit For sure! This is only for family movie night after long days on the beach.

Why WG to the home if you have your Plex Server with you?
samdoran@hachyderm.io · 5 pts · 3y
@kratoz29 That’s mainly so I can access the cameras back home to check on the house/animals. They are on a subnet with no outbound access.

@1bluepixel There’s no telling what the internet situation is like at the vacation home. We’ve been stranded before with no internet where it rained all week.

Is it possible to condense it all down to one Pi unit?
nyakojiru@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 3y
I’m planing to get a pi in the future to build mount the Plex server and other stuff like vpn for home etc … can I get some guidance on what to look and what type of storage (physically small) to attach to it? Also it can be used as a seed box ? All together

Really wish I had something like this for my vacation right now, would be nice to be able to play some episodes from plex or watch a bit women's world cup games but this airbnb only has 1 appletv

The best thing about Plex is being able to play it on anything. HDMI out of your phone/laptop makes more sense.
samdoran@hachyderm.io · 2 pts · 3y
@willya I’ve done that in the past. It works ok. I bring an Apple TV to use as the client. I like the tvOS Plex app quite a bit and I don’t have to use VNC or get up to control it.

Do you use a sim card for the router? How much data do you have?
