Show HN: A faithful recreation of the Plex UI for Jellyfin

My biggest issue with Jellyfin was always the UI, so I rebuilt Plex Web on top of it. It runs in the browser and connects to your existing Jellyfin server.Try it with Jellyfin's demo server: https://jellex.x86.cxDisclaimer: Written entirely by an LLM.

The TTL for our data is 2-3 days so you can be fairly confident that it is up to date.

Spur's residential proxy data is not intended to be used as a blacklist. We recommend using it as enrichment alongside other signals, not blocking an IP just because it was associated with proxy activity.

I added a warning that should help with this now.

Yes. You can use https://spur.us/context/<ip> where the IP is the one you want to lookup.

Which proxy network(s) did you get tagged in?

Re:Show HN: Check if your IP has appeared in a residential proxy network on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @10:45AM (#49713363)

Try https://spur.us/context/<ip> where <ip> is the IP you want to query :)

An Xbox/PlayStation controller is cheap and high quality.

You don't necessarily have to flash a custom firmware. Rooting the TV and killing the ad processes is usually sufficient.

Indeed, many of these TVs serve ads by default on their screensavers and home screens.

The experience with this is so much better. Hacking most Tuya based devices has become extremely easy when you use https://docs.libretiny.eu/ Replacing MyQ with ratgdo was one of the best IoT decisions I have ever made.

The consent screens say that they "may continue running in the background after you close the app".

Re:Anna's Archive Loses $322M Spotify Piracy Case Without a Fight on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @02:26PM (#47783147)

I am struggling to see how exactly this is even considered piracy. Nobody was going to stream music in low quality off a slow AA server anyway. It's archival.

If you spoof user agent, you will get more captchas because it won't match their other fingerprinting.
