Just started toying with Jellyfin for my media after Plex started being freaks about everything. I love PlexAmp though so anything that moves the needle on that is excellent. Tried some other players but currently, my setup only works in network and I’ll need to configure SSL somehow.

I appreciate that responsiveness!!

I don’t really disagree with you at all but repeatedly reminding us all that you’re “not surprised” isn’t the savvy commentary you think it is. Especially since it’s historically been the case that any service you pay money to has said “no, you own your content”.

The marker has just moved gradually on this with companies slowly adding more ownership clauses to their Terms of Service in ways that aren’t legible to average consumers. Now they’re cashing in on that ownership.

I don’t have an Android but thanks for the links regardless.

While you’re not wrong, the social contract we’ve adapted to is that paying means you have some sense of ownership. It’s unreasonable to expect folks to read every Terms of Service with their legalese. Perhaps the new reality we need to accept is that there is no such thing as a good actor on the internet.

This looks badass. I do wish there were better mobile apps for a lot of these media servers. I’ve been mostly sticking to Plexamp for now cause of it.

You pay for WordPress.com though. That’s crazy to offer a paid service and use that data in AI training.

I might be able to help here. Is it outbound or inbound networking? Is there a ticket number you’d be okay sharing?

Honestly, this is kinda making me wanna redeploy a couple app stacks I have on a VPS. Hmm.

Yuck. I have to prop up a server and pay a monthly fee? They’re not doing that much for me.

This is truly the biggest bummer since Plexamp is a really nice audio player.

Yeah, this is a big issue. I know Lemmy blew up a bit before it was truly ready for prime time but I hope this cleans up.

Having worked at a cloud provider for awhile and also done support, the reasoning is generally that Ubuntu is the “path of least resistance” to getting running. They have a super engaged community and the market share leads to a lot of guides across the web being primarily made for Ubuntu.

To be fair, it also helps that their LTS support is really nice and their repos are a lot closer to up-to-date than a bunch of others.

I’ve been trying to run this with a Libra but the calibre-web sync has been borked for awhile. Kinda frustrating, tbh.

I use Fastmail and it’s pretty reasonable, has some nice tie-ins with 1Password, alias emails, etc.

I get where the people saying Proxmox are coming from but realistically, this is a mini-computer and the setup doesn’t need to be that sophisticated. Running Linux will go a long way, slapping Docker containers on there for things.

Would’ve been a hundred times funnier to call it crackpot.

Hmm! I’ll have to goof around with this. Thanks!

Been thinking about migrating off Plex for a bit with performance hits, apps shoving their channels my way and their seeming decline from personal media. After propping up Audiobookshelf for audiobooks, now I’m considering Funkwhale for music and Jellyfin for video but I’ll have to test a bit more.

Admittedly, never tried Mealie but the PWA works excellently, the shopping list/planning are nice and I’ve enjoyed it so far.
