Highly recommend Infuse on Apple TV. Since I was running Plex on my NAS it would often be very buggy and slow with buffering. One day I got fed up and tried infuse, pointed it at the same network share, and bam- instant playback that worked consistently, and way better native controls for subtitles etc. I’m sure there are good reasons to use Plex, I did so for years, but honestly streaming has been so much easier since moving off it.

I had the same thoughts watching Pluribus - I’m not sure if it’s been confirmed by the creators of the show as their intention, but the joining is an excellent metaphor for AI.

Even in online discourse between people sceptical of AI and the AI evangelists- there’s often a parallel of Carol v The Joined.

btw it’s very obvious you’re spruiking here- your account history is a dozen comments that all read the same. Better to be honest and own that you have a vested interest in this PAIO service.

Really like the ux of that survey - super easy to fill out, is it just a custom web form or you used a library?

Aged Care Mate https://AgedCareMate.com.au

It’s a modern way to navigate and find home care providers in Australia. We built it after working in the industry and seeing families struggle a lot with navigating the complex aged care system (at a time in their lives which is already very stressful).

It’s very early days but it has been very enjoyable to think back on all the issues and pain points we saw in our careers and build solutions around these.

Hopefully it helps some Aussies and their parents with staying in their own home, and in feeling more confident with the decisions they make through the journey.

The stack is: Nuxt for the front-end, Postgres, and FastAPI for the backend. We set up Zoho instead of Microsoft or Google Workspace and it’s been very smooth so far (and more cost effective).

One fun part of the dev work has been learning all the magic of PostGIS - if you ever have an idea that involves geospatial data or maps, go ahead and try build it with PostGIS in the db.
