Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

No trolling.

Really? I'm on a Linux desktop and I had not noticed. Though I steam from Netflix on it very very rarely.
With Netflix in a browser, you can bring up your streaming stats in the browser window as you're watching something by pressing Ctrl + Shift+ Alt + D. It'll give you several bits of information as an overlay, including what resolution the video is playing at. Next time you stream from them, give it a shot and see if you get anything above 720p. I know I never have and if you search online, you'll find others with the same experience. In fact, I think Netflix might actually have this on a FAQ page somewhere...

Scroll down to the OS selection and you can see what resolutions are supported by which browsers on Linux. Turns out Opera will give you 1080p for some reason, but the rest are capped at 720p.
I wonder if making another browser spoof being Opera would work too.
Whats stopping spoof to Android? Possible workaround?
I suspect it probably would. Though I haven't looked too deeply into it myself, I've heard of browser extensions you can get to force 1080p from Netflix, so maybe that's what they're doing.
