To be fair though. The experience of google and Microsoft online word/spreadsheets/etc… also sucks ass on a smartphone. Much better, sure, but doing spreadsheets or writing a paper on a phone is a bad experience in general.

But how does this change using VPNs with torrenting? Especially because it seems like the vast majority don’t support ipv6 as well as openvpn often leaking ipv6 IPs.

That is a fantastic idea. Wtf how is this not commonplace? Or am I just way behind 😅

Nope, syncthing for file syncing things between systems like music and I realized I never really used “cloud” storage.

Crazy how that doesn’t at all even address the problem of subtitle sync! It just pastes subtitles as-is in there. What if the subtitle files are at a different framerste? What if the subtitles have the wrong starting offset for the media? What if the subtitles have 1-2 mistakes in them as far as timing?

Hence why there are a dozen subtitle syncing tool projects supplementing ffmpeg like ffsubsync, subsync, alass, autosubsync, srtsync, etc…

Using the integrated player. That is the only player option on android TV. On android I am also using the integrated player. If I use the web player, the same UI as the web shows up WITHOUT the subtitle offset option that is in the web player in a web browser. Not sure what the difference could be. Always burning in subtitles isn’t enabled either.

The only thing about jellyfin is the damn subtitles. Subtitle sync is horrible. They added a subtitle offset feature last year which was a good workaround and then removed it a few months ago on androidtv and android. Now the subtitle offset on the web player doesn’t do anything anymore either

Even Subgen generated subtitles, which are pretty perfectly in sync in reality, are sometimes played back at an incorrect speed so it will progressively get more and more out of sync, but there is no way to tell what speed the subtitles are being played at.

Also it just ignores themes a lot of times or only displays themes on the admin console and nowhere else.

That said, jellyfin is still amazing!

I had to physically log into the server (I am not using a VPS) and docker compose -f ... down the container in order for it to be solved. After a downgrade of nextcloud it was solved and the next upgrade I did, didn’t experience the same issue. I ended up ditching nextcloud anyway because after an update ~8-12 months ago, the login page has never loaded since, so it can’t be used. I found out I rarely used it anyway.

Hey, I had a similar thing happen to me. It turns out the faulty container brought down my entire LAN network. The reason you can’t ssh in is likely because your router is stuck at 100% usage trying to figure it out.

At least that is what happened with my old Archer A7 and damn nextcloud.

You are really missing out

impossible to join

Lol yeah many of us know we are missing out but can’t join any decent private trackers because they are impossible to join. The one small one I was able to join has so few users that maintaining a good ratio is literally impossible because not enough people download anything but brand-new media. Luckily they give points for keeping things alive that can be traded for ratio.

I think without the points I would have like a 0.05 ratio or something dumb while I am 24/7 seeding over 300 files. On public trackers I have 3.1TB down, 20.7TB up seeding ~600.

Live on the edge

Pin to develop

That is a different spin than the original comment, which is why I made that commen.

https://docs.getaurora.dev/ https://docs.projectbluefin.io/ aurora has one small page of documentation total unless you click on the logo which suddenly opens a hidden unlabeled drawer with sparse docs. Bluefin has even less. I consider this near-zero documentation. So how would OP’s non-techy girlfriend (or someone who has only heard of aurora and bluefin from this thread) know to go to bazzite, a completely different project to most people, to debug their completely different OS? Because googling “ublue aurora flatpak won’t install” literally gives this page: https://docs.getaurora.dev/guides/software/ which is literally almost useless.

Bazzite’s documentation has gotten way better since I installed it (they had almost nothing on rpmostree commands when I did), but I don’t believe everything in the documentation for bazzite applies the same to aurora and bluefin, especially with differences in pre-installed non-layered gaming defaults vs working with flatpaks will be not even close to the same.

Also fedora knoite has little documentation https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-kinoite/. It has enough to get you started and installed, but that is about it. It has one single line of code about rpmostree for example, not even anything about installing an RPM not in fedora’s limited repos.

I didn’t say any of it was bad. Just that you have to be slightly careful with using those for non-techy users because the documentation just isn’t there yet.

Gotta be slightly careful with those spins though because there is near-zero documentation.

That said, it isn’t fun for firmware development.

I have daily driven it for 6 months or so. Most things work great but more niche uses like embedded firmware development, digitally signing documents (impossible on bazzite as far as I have found) and anything that requires udev rules or interplay between software.

Otherwise it is great! Much better day to day than opensuse Kalpa.

Crazy enough, I have everything going that I want to on my server!

• *arr suite and jellyfin
• traefik reverse proxy with crowdsec + bouncer for some sites (e.g. not documents or media)
• paperless-ngx for documents
• immich for photos
• leantime to manage personal projects
• Book stack for a personal wiki
• calibre-web for my library
• syncthing for file and music syncing so I don’t have to stream music
• valheim server for me and my friends
• boinc for turning my server to a productive heater in the winter
• home assistant for my in-renovation smart home

As far as my server goes, I have everything I need. Maybe setting up something for sharing files over the web if needed. I used nextcloud for that before it killed itself completely and I realized I never really needed it.

Next is working on my smart home because we had to fully strip the house to renovate. KNX first, zwave for things that KNX doesn’t have or are crazy expensive, ESPHome for everything that the other two can’t accomplish. Minimal 2.4GHz interference and don’t have to rely as much as possible on flaky wireless in a brick house.

Trakt also sells your data off to whoever wants it even though they explicitly say that they don’t. https://trakt.tv/privacy

I hadn’t had anything on any ad service about harry potter in years. Never searched anything about it or anything. Watched a quarter of one movie via jellyfin on linux completely locally with the trakt plugin. A few hours later I had harry potter advertisements everywhere that I don’t have an ad blocker.

It really really depends on what you have for heating.

Floor heating + heat pump? You don’t need to mess around with target temp much because the principle behind it is thermal mass buildup and maintaining that. You have to tune thermostatic valves on the room level. Then you can have one central thermostat simply slightly change the target temperature with many hours of delay. That doesn’t seem too useful to me to automate.

Do you have radiators? Then you can get zwave or ZigBee valves and tie them together with whatever thermostat that you want in home assistant. Then you can set per room/zone heat depending on whatever sensors you have.

Do you have central forced air heating and air conditioning? Then you have pretty much target temp and on/off control unless you want to put in motorized automatic registers or redesign your entire duct system for per-room duct valves.

Individual heat pumps/airco units with radiator based heating is the most “per room” customizable and probably the most useful to put automations on in Home Assistant.

Ventilation can be useful by monitoring CO2 levels and humidity. Then you can use either the fan units themselves or socket switches to actuate those and put whatever sensors you want wherever it is useful.

I am probably missing some stuff here, but there are only a few HVAC setups that actually benefit from automation, in my opinion. Mainly ventilation, infrared, and non centralized forced air heat pumps. Plus heating and cooling is something you want to work 100% flawlessly even if your router dies, your home assistant falls off a cliff, and your ZigBee/zwave controller dies.

Different philosophy.

Ntfy uses pub-sub like MQTT. It publishes messages and anyone (with access) can subscribe to it. Want to connect 250 clients across 50 people to have the same messages delivered? Easy.

Gotify uses end to end messaging. A user creates an application on their chosen client. Gotify uses a REST api send the notification pulled from the chosen app to the user who made it. Want to do the same as above? You have to set it up 250 times. Gotify was the first to have authentication and some people say it is more robust, but I can’t speak on that. Also gotify is easier to set up and makes sense for a single user.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but that is the biggest architectural difference.

We have 38h in Belgium, but if you work 40, you get 12 extra full days of holiday during the year (what I do).

A 32 hour work week with no salary cut will never happen, but that would be a dream

Sadly it doesn’t work with CrowdSec which is the biggest thing I would want notifications on (bans and such) and Gotify isn’t the pub/sub MQTT-style that I like about ntfy…
