I mean, jellyfin is absolutely even.more of a security nightmare than Plex, with multiple unfixed CVEs IIRC (software, not website or forum)
I use jellyfin also, but I only trust it not exposed to the internet at all. That is one very big area of improvement for them.
That and subtitle syncing.
That is pretty expensive nowadays, if OP wants to go that expensive, getting a mini PC with the latest intel N150. The pi 5 doesn’t even have hardware AV1 decoding. By the time you have all of the pi accessories, it is not much of a price difference, but defi itely a performance difference.
Plus you get benefits like actual storage instead of a separately bought SD card, more RAM, 2.5G ethernet, and HDMI2.1 & USB–C displayport.
Then you slap Linux on it (and also hope that plasma bigscreen is a success in the near future) and you have a very reliable 4K HTPC that can decode anything you throw at it. It has enough horsepower to be a home server at the same time, unlike a pi while also having just a bit higher idle power usage (2W or so).
Is this similar to Wero as a back end or different parts of the process?
Or if your internet enters the house in a dead zone.
I have a brick house and our internet comes inside literally in one far corner with the most walls around it, so if the access point in there. Half of our house gets no internet.
I went for a cloud gateway ultra and then one access point centrally in the house where everything can reach.
It is
However, for file transfer, LocalSend is a smoother UX and supports almost any device for transfer. It won me over from KDE connect because I can transfer things with different phones, friends’ comuters when they are here, work computer in rare cases with a portable install and no need to bond anything.
Is your printer network attached and scanning via flatpak packages?
Network printing works fine, USB printing and scanning works also, it is just anything having to use saned that flatpaks can’t seem to use
I have hopped through multiple distros and I have never once had scanning not work on a “normal” one after correctly setting up saned. Only bazzite because of the flatpak/system split (also why any embedded programming needs distrobox)
It’s worth it to note for people switching that your network printer is unlikely to have usable scanning functionality with flatpak scanners you install (unless something has changed in the last 6 months since I tried last)
I think the issue is more that large tech firms can absolutely deal with external security in their applications. The amount of times gmail or Microsoft 365 has been hacked and leaked a bunch of client data is statistically zero when looking at their attack area.
Joe Dirt self hosting a mail server for his neighbors on a salvaged rack server is 1000x more likely to get hacked or lose a ton of his neighbors’ data than a big tech firm.
That is kind of the trade off for community hosting. There are very very few backup and security-literate people in communities.
Local send is absolutely my go-to. It is awesome.
iOS, computer, android, whatever, it just always works and is fast and everything is extremely user friendly.
I essentially stopped using kdeconnect except for its automatic clipboard and notifications.
Syncthing is a bit more complicated to set up, but that is what I use for “file sync” which in my view is different than file sharing which is different than file hosting like next/owncloud.
Also with the excalidraw plugin, hand drawing images and such is also possible.
It is not as good for flowcharts and diagrams since there are only like 5 non-specified font sizes, but also usable for notes
The few things I don’t like about flatpaks (which become a problem on atomic distros that use almost all flatpak by design):
Some types of embedded development is essentially impossible with flatpaks. Try getting the J-link software connected with nrftools and then everything linked to VScodium/codeoss
Digital signing simply doesn’t work, won’t work for the foreseeable future, and is not planned to get working,
Flatpaks sometimes have bugs for no reasons when their package-manager counterparts don’t (e.g. in KiCAD 8.0, the upper 20% or so of dialog boxes were unclickable with the mouse, but I could select and modify them with the keyboard, only the flatpak version)
The status on whether it is still being actively developed or not (at least I hear a fair amount of drama surrounding it)
But besides those small things, it seem great to me.
Some drives are worse than others and higher capacities get worse and worse, in my experience, Seagate drives are extremely loud.
If you get helium drives (like wd red plus > 8TB i think),or 2nd hand hgst/ WD enterprise drives) they are significantly quieter.
But, having an ssd is cheaper probably. I have an SSD for the boot drive and all databases, configuration folders, etc… In docker so general IO is fast, then media, documents, pictures, etc… On the big HDDs.
I’m sorry. There are people who go to an adult hardcore porn site and then type in “Suitable for work”??? Like do you think the site wouldn’t get flagged at your work?
KNX.
Everything is decentrally programmed, and you can do extra automations and stuff from home assistant, but KNX devices are wired (generally) and will always Just Work™. More expensive that the cheaper retrofit options, but if you factor in manual overrides or getting the “better” wireless smart devices it is comparable. They generally also have a manual override at the panel. For core functions like lights, HVAC, roll shutters or blinds, etc… That is honestly the best option (unless you want every light to be an RGB light for some reason, then you still need smart bulbs)
This is similar to what I do.
I have a USB drive with the whole bootloader + decryption keyfiles on it. I remove it while it is running as everything is stored in RAM and already booted.
Downside being it has to be plugged in to update the boot partition during an upgrade.
And you are often paying 140-200 for a pi nowadays to make it have the same usability as a laptop (pi, power supply, sata hat, data drive because SD cards simply fail after a while under server IO) while you can get cheap used laptops for 0-100.
So unless you are running it for more than half a decade (which rarely happens with selfhosters for a main server), you are probably spending more in total on the pi.
Bitwarden
Yep, you can get an m.2 NVMe to USB3 converter very cheap and stick any m.2 nvme drive in it. (Also sata versions exist for m.2 sata)
Much safer solution for your data.
I had the same thing on Bazzite just with the local network, not a VPN.
I believe it has to do with the firewall. You have to open the port both incoming and outgoing for 53317.
But you literally have to be on the same network, so for example if both devices are on the same local network (hence local in the name) and your phone is on a VPN but your computer is not on a VPN, then it won’t work.
It should work if you VPN into your local network remotely so that both devices are on the same LAN, however, then that won’t work anyway because you have to have physical access to the device to accept the transfer (you could probably use a remote desktop to do that, but then it is getting complicated)
Damn, I am only at a ratio of like 10 from some season packs of Chuck and The Mentalist. 565 is crazy!
