Like others have said, use Plex! I use it to share my library with my tech illiterate parent, they just have to install the Plex app on their Roku (or any other streaming device) and then I logged into my account on the app. The connection is secure end to end and it’s really not much different than the Netflix experience that most users are used to.
Setup proper port forwarding in your router and keep your Plex server up to date and you should be good to not worry about streaming media out from your house.
I just name them based on the case labels, model name, and/or server function. My main host server is “DellPVE”, gaming computer is “Phanteks”, Plex server named “Plex”, octoprint is named “Octoprint” etc…
Oh snap I saw a ton of floating is fun posts and wondered what was going on lol. Didn’t really bother me even though it’s not my thing, I’m just glad to see lemmy getting posted to so much.
If you insist…
