> Nvidia Shield is hardly the most popular anything.

This is so wrong..

> From Jellyfin blog: https://jellywatch.app/blog/jellyfin-nvidia-shield-tv-setup-...

>> The NVIDIA Shield TV (Pro and Tube) is widely considered the best Android TV streaming device for self-hosted media servers in 2026. While the Apple TV 4K wins on UI polish and the Onn 4K Pro wins on price, the Shield wins on something most other devices can't match: lossless audio bitstream passthrough. TrueHD, TrueHD Atmos, DTS-HD MA, DTS:X - the Shield passes them all to your AV receiver untouched.

>> Combined with hardware decode for H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1, plus an 8-year-old Tegra X1+ chip that still gets driver updates, the Shield is a genuine "set it and forget it" Jellyfin client.

Nvidia shield is a device that simply works and passes the audio untouched to my sound receiver and I enjoy it __everyday__.

Bah, the user interface and design is horrible to navigate in, which just made me sad. Try to paginate, music stops etc. If you created this, spend some more effort in user testing before sharing if you want users to have a good experience. My 2 cents.

Just dropping this here for those who don't know about it. It solves most of my CLI dependencies.

Not a general pure image sharing site, but one dedicate for wallpapers (and more) for your personal device (ie your phone), but Zedge did/still provides sharing UGC (user generated content) and as well a premium service for artists.

They are in the margins of positive income at least last I checked.

"Update - This afternoon we saw an outage across some parts of our network. It was not as a result of an attack. It appears a router on our global backbone announced bad routes and caused some portions of the network to not be available. We believe we have addressed the root cause and are monitoring systems for stability now. Jul 17, 22:09 UTC" - https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

I put my bet on some peering fuckups, causing outrages since people are having packet loss etc.

For people who reports this is down, which country are you in? Because all the reported sites works flawless from Norway (Europe) :-)

We still want it to be promoted to beta, so it is actually available in GKE and other cloud vendors.

Alpha level cluster in GKE gets wiped every 30 days, nothing you want to run any production workload on.

Of course you have the option of self-hosting..
