Oh this looks interesting, I’ll have to gawk at this a bit! Thanks!

Yyeeeaaahhh this is the part I think that will surprise people the most, the bills combined are what makes things unpalatable IMO…
I too want a safer Canada, but at what cost? The metadata collected will be paramount to a complete digital profile, with the Government knowing LITERALLY everything about every citizen. It’s too much…


I think this is a great thing, otherwise Kingston will be missing out, big time. As the largest of all the small cities between Toronto, Ottawa/Gatineau and Montreal, it’s always been somewhat of a ‘mini hub’ and being left out of the high-speed rail system would I think, hurt Kingston long term.


Like almost all FOSS and closed source software, they have analytics yes and it is covered in their privacy policy. Guessing you did not make it to that part of the review?
The difference and it’s an important one, is that they do not sell your data. No 3rd party data sharing or sales which is actually better than a lot of even FOSS software.
Everything you use collects your usage metrics, google, your phone regardless of vendor, Microsoft, Apple etc… No different except that this dev team does not sell your data, which the others assuredly do.


Fair enough, all solid points.
BTW - I am not the dev of JellyWatch.


Thoughts on the JellyWatch privacy policy which seems very clearly stated & cut? Does not alleviate concerns? I mean we all use a LOT of closed source software everyday, who tells you they WILL sell your data vs stating clearly they will not. Like Microsoft & entire family of apps, Google & all it’s services, etc etc…


Interesting… I dunno exactly what you mean by that but I am looking to ‘revamp’ or ‘facelift’ the site soon so I am open to honest constructive feedback.
Wandering onto a movie set in a ‘good way’ or you mean it all feels ‘staged’ which gives you mixed feelings?
The goal of my site (ignoring this single post for a moment) is to provide comprehensive technical info for self-hosting & digital sovereignty. I got so sick of having to sift through 3-5 sources of into to get a little help getting something working, or only finding very basic use cases and topical level info. So, I figured I’d go deep on the things I cover and provide technical info on.
Please take a poke around and let me know via DMs, here or via email to joe@corelab.tech your feedback!


Exact same functionality as Overseerr and Jellyseerr since it’s the merged product of both!


Yeah honestly CBC Gem isn’t expensive in the grand scheme of things (Especially if you get the annual sub on sale) and has pretty good Canadian content!


Hey thanks for the update & reading the post!
I know they are available, when someone can find one! But people are still reporting the region lock issue right up to Nov 2025! https://troypointinsider.com/t/onn-setup-out-of-country/125239/32
I also had this snippet in about the ethernet: “😲Warning - The Onn 4K Ethernet Bug & The Fix: The Onn 4K Pro has a known firmware bug with generic USB Ethernet adapters. If you want hardwired Gigabit speeds, you MUST use an adapter with the ASIX AX88179 chipset (like Cable Matters), not the Realtek ones.”


I haven’t used Kodi since about 2014 so I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving advice about it to be honest. That and IMO it became cumbersome to manage with a higher barrier technically, for entry compare to plex at the time, and now we have jellyfin as an option of course.
The last person I know using Kodi switched to jellyfin about 2-3 years ago.
I have a step by step guide on how to deploy the aarrrs and even a docker compose generator =)


A good point indeed!
Two current methodologies in practice these says, mostly.
I’ll end up writing a guide for this at some point ;)
Yeop, this is the way, the only way to try and retain some semblance of privacy other than not using social media, or a smart phone for that matter!
Step-by-step guide here for the uninitiated on setting up docker compose.
