Yeah I am coming to the same realisation. If anything it gets worse, since as an adult you are naturally going to be more isolated when you aren’t forced to socialize.

I haven't used wired earphones or headphones in maybe 4 years now. No way I would go back to being tethered to my PC and/or dealing with tangled wires, especially with how well the newer versions of Bluetooth work.

Being able to browse a multi-TB library from any device is pretty nice. After the PH purge disappeared many of my favourite links overnight I started taking collecting seriously. Also transcoding helps when away from home with a mobile internet connection. Before jellyfin I was using shitty hidden photo album phone apps to hold my collection

That's why I have a jellyfin server for pron and plex for regular media. I originally tried to setup plex for pron as well, but when testing I couldn't be absolutely certain that it would be hidden from other users

HDR works better and has more features (ie AutoHDR) on win11

Hmm according to homeassistant my Rack+PC consumed precisely this much over the last day (graph from homeassistant). I have been trying to minimize power consumption through more efficient hardware, but you can only go so far without making big sacrifices.
