Uncompressed – Self-hosted Netflix alternative at 60 Mbps instead of 15
Netflix compresses 4K to 15 Mbps. A Blu-ray remux is 60 Mbps. Dark scenes, fast motion, grain. That's where you see it. I wanted my family to have Blu-ray quality with a streaming UX. They open Overseerr on their phone, request a movie, and it shows up in Infuse on Apple TV. Subtitles in three languages, hardware transcoding for mobile, full remux on the big screen. They have no idea what's behind it. What's behind it: Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr find and grab content. qBittorrent downloads through a WireGuard tunnel. Bazarr pulls subtitles. Jellyfin serves it all. Everything self-heals —…
In plain words
Uncompressed is a self-hosted media streaming system that delivers Blu-ray-quality video at 60 Mbps instead of Netflix's compressed 15 Mbps. Users request content through Overseerr on their phone, which appears ready to watch on Apple TV with hardware transcoding for mobile and full-quality playback on larger screens. The system automates content discovery and acquisition through Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr, handles subtitles in multiple languages via Bazarr, and streams through Jellyfin with self-healing infrastructure and VPN-enforced security.

In the maker’s words, at launch
Netflix compresses 4K to 15 Mbps. A Blu-ray remux is 60 Mbps. Dark scenes, fast motion, grain. That's where you see it. I wanted my family to have Blu-ray quality with a streaming UX. They open Overseerr on their phone, request a movie, and it shows up in Infuse on Apple TV. Subtitles in three languages, hardware transcoding for mobile, full remux on the big screen. They have no idea what's behind it. What's behind it: Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr find and grab content. qBittorrent downloads through a WireGuard tunnel. Bazarr pulls subtitles. Jellyfin serves it all. Everything self-heals — endpoint health checks, autoheal restarts, dependency ordering so nothing starts in a broken state. The security model is the part I obsessed over: - qBittorrent shares Gluetun's network namespace at the kernel level. No firewall rule to misconfigure — if the VPN drops, there's no network path. - Traefik binds to a Tailscale IP only. Zero ports face the internet. - Three isolated Docker networks separate ingress, internal, and P2P traffic. Two Compose stacks, one .env file, MIT licensed. https://github.com/Lackoftactics/uncompressed

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
