yes so what. the title is "1 month without..."

he could have gone a month without using youtube and then posted a video on youtube and he still wouldnt be contradicting himself

using a meshVPN like tailscale or netbird would another option as well. it would allow you to use proper backup software like restic or whatever, and with tailscale on both devices, it would allow restic to be able to find the pi device even if the other person moved to a new house. (although a pi with ethernet would be preferable so all they have to do is plug it in to their new network and everything would be good. if it was a pi zero then someone would have to update the wifi password)

a "poor mans" backup can be useful for things like this, movie/tv/music collections, and will only be a few MB instead of TB.

if things go south at least you can rebuild your collection in time. obviously if theres some rare files that were hard to get then you can backup those ones, but even at that it will probably still be a small backup

i used the xiaomi mijia 360 back when i was doing mapillary a few years ago. it was cheaper than the gopro as i remember.

it was a bit finicky to use overall but it got the job done at the same time. its not standalone camera like the gopro so you have to keep it connected to the app while youre using it. the app was very basic and whether they have kept it updated and working with the latest android is something you would want to check. the xiaomi desktop software that you use to convert the images to flat photos would crash after doing a few hundred so you have to manually restart the process a few times to get all of them converted.

heres an example of what the quality is like. this is on a monopod sticking out the back window of my car, with the 2 lenses pointing to the left and right side of the car

you can add 3 friends on the free tier of tailscale. might work for some people but others might have to pay for tailscale.

does anyone know is it possible to get around issue by running headscale yourself? can you add as many friends as you like then? maybe something like netbird might be a better option since its fully self hosted?

it might not cost plex much but from the average joe's point of view they might not want to mess around with this stuff, or might have never even heard of DNS or proxies in the first place so those types of people might be more inclined to pay for a feature that does all that for them. thats what plex could be hedging their bets on
