    It’s not that I don’t want to buy a mini PC. But for this little project I might abandon like my many programming projects a massive investment is just not worth it. I payed 300€ on a TV some years ago, I just cannot pay the double amount for a device I use for streaming. I might upgrade if Jellyfin turns out to be my companion, but then everything needs to work, remote streaming from outside my network included.

    Thanks for your advice though. I will look into a used fire stick, but if I understand correctly, this would act as a jellyfin client for watching on my TV.









  • Let me try to explain… It is impossible to understand WW2 if you do not understand the Weimar Republic and WW1 for example. That’s why I try to understand an epoch and as soon as I “run out of explanations” I go to the events that influenced it.
    The other way would be to start at the “beginning of history” but that is clearly impossible to define.

    Just looking at a single event somewhere between 1520 and 1530 however is an island without context, I fail to understand without knowing what was around.


  • I really like the Holy Roman Empire with all its small territories across the European continent. I am especially interested in the modern era though, so let’s say 1618 - 1806. But I am also really interested in the European revolutions in general, from the French to all the little ones in the 1830s, 1848 etc.

    My relationship to history is a bit weird in general. I am a person who needs to understand a period of time very well, before I can dig into a period earlier. So I am kind of building my historical concept from today, year by year and epoch and epoch into the past. I just don’t know enough to step into the middle ages yet.

    Now that I am thinking about it, that’s true for a lot of other fields… I had many problems with electrical engineering in university, because I couldn’t fully grasp the concept of quantum physics before doing the experiments, and that really stressed me out lol
