Oh interesting, I never knew about that side of Kagi. The fact the company is focused so hard on AI is a red flag. I don't think I'll renew my subscription when it comes up later this year, given how erratic their plans seem.

You underestimate my power, I see a Settings menu, and instantly enter a fugue state, 30 minutes pass and I suddenly come back to myself, my desktop environment looks entirely different, the windows are wobbly, and GTK window theming is broken.

I need help

Yeah that's exactly the thing, people freak out so much about China having access to their data, but act much less concerned when it comes to their own government potentially having access to said data. One of these options has the ability to affect your life if they don't like your data, and it isn't China.

(Not to get me wrong, I think no government should have access to one's data, moreso pointing out the double standard)

Agreed, you're probably going to run into network bottlenecks before storage read times become an issue

Most TVs these days have a USB port for exactly this purpose, you can load media files up onto a flash drive and plug it in, then you should be able to browse the files and play it from there.

However, if you want to be able to play files hosted on your PC without having to copy them to a drive, you would have to set up a media server like Jellyfin on your PC and either buy or build a compatibility for your TV. Fire TV sticks or a Chromecast would work as cheap options to buy, or you could look into hosting a Kodi instance if you have spare hardware lying around.

There are really a ton of options, my above suggestions are only scratching the surface.
