It’s not a bad solution and I have used eSIMs before when I was traveling in Asia. However, all of these “unlimited” eSIM plans has a lot of buts. Either the speed is limited to close to unusable for streaming and/or you are limited to only use x amount of GB when using hotspot.

Also depending on the country, the coverage can be awful.

I’m pretty sure revolt.chat is still going? I am using it.

True, but if your devices, in this case; iPads with only 64GB, it quickly gets filled up.

Project is dead, but could be worth looking into. Thank you.

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 3 points 3 weeks ago

Genius! Why didn’t I think of that 😂

Can you connect the hard drive to multiple devices? 😉

If you are on the road or simply travelling a place with bad internet, then what?

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 1 points 3 weeks ago

The iPads only have 64GB and I do usually download some stuff from Netflix, ATV+ and Plex if it actually worked.

What if I have no internet? 😅

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 1 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly and thank you for the link! 😁

I am looking for a solution where you have the media with you, so you don’t need an internet connection to watch your media.

The media server at home is a great solution that I already use, but if you have 3 people watching in the car, using mobile data, you won’t have anything left when you get to your destination😅

Exactly. The point is to carry the media with you and access it without an actual internet connection. Especially on the go.

If I understand you correctly, I could install Jellyfin on a Raspberry Pi, setup a local WiFi on it and connect to it with an iPad that has a Jellyfin client installed?

I’ve just ordered a Framework 13 at work to test out and I was wondering if anyone else had any experience using Framework in a business?
