I've been working in marketing and advertising for somewhere around 15 years now, with the last 10 or so being focused on pay-per-click advertising. Google ads, Facebook ads, a few industry platforms you've never heard of and one time even Bing! I also wish I could
This was supposed to be a pretty basic article detailing my process of switching my media server away from Plex and over to Jellyfin. The process of switching the server itself was super simple: I already had my media libraries set up, already had an instance of Jellyfin available (just
Free stuff is good. I like free stuff, I like custom notifications, and I like needlessly complicating automating things. I especially love automation for alerts - it's cool to automate a tedious task that requires manual interaction like turning on a light, but triggering alerts as they occur
