[356.90 --> 359.92] But I have a few apps that I rely on.
[360.26 --> 361.28] I say rely.
[361.46 --> 362.64] I use, OK?
[362.88 --> 363.78] It's maybe not rely.
[363.92 --> 364.94] It's too strong of a word.
[364.94 --> 373.38] But things like Tautooli, and I don't know if I've said that name correctly, but essentially it's Plex server playback stats application.
[373.90 --> 383.14] So it can track, you know, what my users have been watching, when they played, paused and stopped and started, and whether they transcoded and all these useful things,
[383.14 --> 389.32] which I can look back in trends and say, well, which shows, because nobody watched for three years, well, I can go ahead and delete those.
[389.72 --> 390.72] That kind of thing.
[390.94 --> 391.88] Oh, that's an interesting idea.
[391.88 --> 396.04] I'd never thought about actually using it for cleaning up library items you're no longer using.
[396.40 --> 401.50] Did you happen to check and just, I don't know, review what Brent binged while you were gone?
[402.32 --> 404.84] I think he was on a Better Call Saul binge whilst I was gone.
[404.94 --> 405.38] Yeah, yeah.
[405.38 --> 406.86] Mostly because we were.
[407.10 --> 409.72] Which, by the way, I'm not going to spoil the ending, but it was fantastic.
[410.16 --> 412.38] This is part of the ecosystem you're talking about, though.
[412.46 --> 413.00] Yeah, absolutely.
[413.84 --> 415.28] So Tautooli is one of them.
[415.58 --> 417.90] There's a new one this week, which I just came across.
[417.98 --> 421.66] I think you've been using it for a while from what you told me, called Overseer.
[421.66 --> 427.38] Overseer is a class of application we don't talk a lot about on the show, sort of touching the third rail.
[427.78 --> 432.32] But it is the ultimate evolution of that type of application.
[432.44 --> 438.08] And these are those apps where you just say, hey, computer, I want this movie or this show.
[438.12 --> 438.86] And it goes and gets it.
[438.88 --> 444.84] But this takes it to the next level in helping you discover stuff that's trending and popular or well-rated.
[445.08 --> 447.22] And it wraps it all up with such a great UI.
[447.52 --> 448.82] That's what I absolutely love about it.
[448.82 --> 454.04] So the thing that really seals the deal is it has a full Plex library integration.
[454.48 --> 460.44] So if I'm saying to my family, well, let's say my mum was a big Elvis fan.
[460.70 --> 462.58] And that new Elvis movie just came out.
[462.62 --> 465.40] She was like, could you add it to Plex for me?
[465.60 --> 467.84] And I'm like, well, I could.
[468.08 --> 468.90] But you could do it yourself.
[469.82 --> 472.82] And then she had the link with her three-tail scale, which is awesome.
[473.60 --> 475.16] So there's nothing exposed on the internet.
[475.26 --> 477.58] But it has a library integration with Plex.
[477.58 --> 482.70] And so if I already had that movie in my library and she went to go and request it, for example,
[483.24 --> 486.34] it would say, hey, dummy, this already exists.
[486.42 --> 486.96] Go watch it.
[487.14 --> 490.36] And it'd give you a direct link right the way through to Plex's UI.
[490.70 --> 495.32] And there's nothing I would say that stops these kind of apps integrating with Jellyfin directly.
[495.74 --> 499.66] It's just that Plex has been the tallest nail for a very long time now.
[499.66 --> 505.96] And so if you are a developer targeting this space, it's only natural that you would target Plex first.
[506.32 --> 507.22] Yeah, I suppose so.
[507.30 --> 512.52] Plus, you know, Plex has the company you can interface with if you're another business.
[512.68 --> 518.82] I think the other thing that they have going for them, obviously, is they have a really well-established API, really well-documented.
[519.04 --> 520.86] And then they have that big user base.
[521.22 --> 522.36] You just add all that stuff up.
[522.36 --> 524.38] And I understand why people are building for it first.
[525.16 --> 530.22] Overseer, though, which Overseer, by the way, is spelt Overseer.
[531.80 --> 533.28] Is that what it is?
[533.34 --> 533.72] Let me look.
[533.82 --> 535.16] There'll be a link in the show notes, people.
[535.40 --> 535.50] Yeah.
[535.84 --> 536.12] Yeah.
[536.62 --> 541.20] Overseer.dev, if you want to check it out.
[541.20 --> 550.76] It does support local accounts, but then you lose one of the nice things that Overseer supports, which is it will integrate with your Plex user accounts.
[550.98 --> 556.22] And it supports restricting media to certain users, which is really handy when you have kids.
[557.48 --> 559.30] Again, it's part of that damn ecosystem.
[559.48 --> 564.32] And I've been using this for several months, and it's just so easy to pull it up.
[564.90 --> 568.50] So, again, they're not a sponsor on this show, but Tailscale on my phone, right?
[568.54 --> 569.66] So I connect Tailscale.
[570.16 --> 572.90] I pull this up in a web browser on my phone.
[573.12 --> 574.48] It's perfectly formatted.
[574.78 --> 576.06] I can hand it to my wife.
[576.50 --> 577.56] She can type in what she wants.
[577.62 --> 579.32] She can do her browsing, get it all set up.
[579.64 --> 580.56] It's a real winner.
[581.14 --> 586.20] And it's, I mean, it's not impossible to use it with Jellyfin, but it just wouldn't have that level of integration.
[586.72 --> 586.82] Right.
[587.10 --> 590.14] And we touched briefly on the third rail at the beginning of this.
[590.14 --> 592.56] You don't have to use it in that context either.
[592.56 --> 600.42] You could literally just use it as a wish list or a watch trending list as to what's available on various different services as well.
[600.52 --> 604.06] So it's not limited to only people who wear pirate hats.
[606.52 --> 608.88] Yeah, although it's, I mean, I think that is its core functionality.
[609.06 --> 609.76] I'm not going to lie.
[609.92 --> 610.42] Yeah, possibly.
[612.06 --> 613.16] But you're right.
[613.22 --> 617.38] You could also build a wish list, and it will help with some of those tracking services as well.
[617.56 --> 620.26] And as you would expect, it's just like a container away.
[620.26 --> 623.84] I didn't check the license on it, but I do think it's open source as well.
[624.12 --> 624.66] Yeah, it's up on GitHub.
[624.86 --> 625.82] Check it out over there.
[626.36 --> 627.34] Overseer is a really good one.
[627.72 --> 631.86] It's a Node.js app, and the source code is all on GitHub.
[633.56 --> 635.26] Linode.com slash SSH.
[635.86 --> 640.80] That's where you go to get $100 in 60-day credit on a new account, and it's just a great way to support the show.
[640.88 --> 644.40] So it's Linode.com slash SSH.
[644.74 --> 646.02] Linode is simple cloud hosting.
[646.02 --> 653.56] When you want to put something up in the cloud, you want infrastructure you have under your control with root access that is super fast and affordable.
[654.22 --> 658.20] Well, Linode is 30% to 50% cheaper than the major hyperscalers out there.
[658.68 --> 661.34] And Linode can also be a fantastic platform to learn.
[661.48 --> 668.60] I know I tell you guys about how we use it as our own lab, and it's also where we deploy all our stuff in production, like our new website's being built out, and we'll run from there.
[668.88 --> 671.10] Just about anything we've built in the last two and a half, three years.
[671.10 --> 673.20] But it's also where I go to learn.
[673.50 --> 677.94] You know, they have Kali Linux on there right now, and cybersecurity is a huge field.
[678.34 --> 685.68] And if you're going to get familiar with cybersecurity at all, you're going to be worth your salt at all, you've got to get Linux skills.
[685.90 --> 687.10] You've got to train up.
[687.22 --> 691.06] You just have to understand how these systems are built from the ground up.
