The containerise extension has pulled in most of the features of temporary containers and is still semi actively maintained.

Thanks for pointing this out! I was using Containerise + Temp Containers. The "Default Container" section of Containerise has now replaced Temp Containers for me. In case anyone else is interested, here are my settings:

Default Container: On

Container Name: tmp_{domain}

Lifetime: Until last tab is closed

Rule Addition: *.{domain}.{tld}


There is also a live demo available. It sounds like soon the admin features will be exposed too. https://demo.jellyfin.org/stable/


Jellyfin is also a dlna media server, so even devices that don't have an official client can still access your content in a pinch.


Plex can do that as well.


While true I don’t see how that is particularly relevant to this thread; I was only talking about Emby vs Jellyfin. Did you mean Emby? I know it does but if you were going to use Emby with no native apps you may as well use Jellyfin.


Jellyfin also functions as a dlna media server so might be enough to get the job done (depending on what you're using it for). I use Jellyfin dlna with my Samsung TV to stream OTA, iptv, ipcams, movies and recorded TV. I have a bunch of other devices in the house that can access it this way as well.


There's also fairly complete documentation on setting up a number of reverse proxies if you're considering port forwarding: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/reverse-pro...


since this twitter link does not seem valid, this topic should probably be merged...

That being said, searching "sparkpost" on twitter today does yield some fun results...


These guys seem to be the best of what remains, depending on your use case...here's the results of my quick analysis...

sendgrid - supports campaigns and tracking/analytics - https://sendgrid.com/pricing/

mailgun - less support for marketing features, supports inbound email processing - https://www.mailgun.com/pricing


Charles is an http proxy only - it does not capture any other protocols. Good for general app debugging, but did not fit the bill when I recently tried to dig into traffic coming out of my shady ip camera.

I recently used this method (wireshark/windows) [1] with the cam vendors app on an old iPhone to get more insight into what was going on (particularly outside the HTTP space).

The finance industry mainly uses OFX as the standard for online access to statements/transaction downloads (as does quicken, QuickBooks and gnucash...etc). Some banks do not support it and others go through aggregators to provide access.

You are doing people a huge disservice by identifying the companies you listed as "the finance industry". They are scraping data (in most cases against TOS) and exposing it as a paid API service.

It's a terrible state of affairs that easy access to ownership of this critical data is so hard to come by and has essentially forced people to give up their most valuable credentials to in a lot of cases unknown or untrustworthy parties.

At least mint has partnered with some banks that actually provide supported APIs for transaction data (Chase), but that is so far from the norm right now it makes me queasy.


Quicken asks me for my login credentials to my bank and in their policies, says they store my credentials in their infrastructure. How does QFX actually help here?


Again, it's dependent on your bank's support. OFX helps by not requiring remote storage of your online banking credentials.

Direct Connect - Your customer ID and password are not stored on Quicken servers. If you choose to use the Quicken Password Vault, we encrypt them on your computer's hard drive.

Express/Quicken Connect - Your login credentials are stored on Quicken-hosted servers. This makes updates faster for you.

I work for a US based aggregator and it's terribly hard to get direct API connectivity with Financial Institutions. Only big banks like Chase, Wells Fargo provide it and even then you need good business relationship to get them on board.


I use the uBlock origin badge in my browser as a proxy for making page judgements - I avoid revisiting sites with a high number (>5?) of blocked elements...
