  • Tmux has probably some specific features Kitty won’t do as good as a native multiplexer? (sorry I’m not the right person to ask this question :s) but It has the features I’m looking for without the need to install one.

    It was quite cumbersome to configure a terminal + a multiplexer on MacOS to behave how I liked it. Kitty solved this issue while being fast, simple and a lot of customization in one single app.

    One feature that was really important, copy/past over SSH with Micro which involved quite a hacky thing with iTerm2 + Tmux.Also being able to split my windows, create tabs…

    But as I said I have only basic use cases and can’t really say If Kitty’s multiplexing features are on par with Tmux. However, during my web search I read about a lot of people far more knowledge than myself who actually switch to kitty from Tmux without regrets !





  • This really looks great, I got a question though. As I understand it, it works based on your bash_history which can be very small or autodeleted after each poweroff for privacy & security reasons.

    So it doesn’t work in that case. However, creating a file containing a list or array? Of commands could that be a possible way to implemented a similar behavior?

    I’m asking because I’m not very proficient in any programming language but have done some small bash scripts here and there and quite interested in this functionality !




  • The only thing I don’t install via that way is Firefox addons.

    Any specific reason why? Yesterday I installed LibreWolf and saw at the same time a few addons in the AUR.

    Do you know what’s the difference from an AUR addon or the official Firefox addon repo?

    I guess It would be for security reasons because you never know if someone has tempered with the addon.




  • It really depends on your metadata/ directory structure. Even though navidrome doesn’t care of your directory structure it’s better to have everything neatly separated !

    You can spin a docker compose (if you’re a bit acquainted with it) and simply point to your external drive containing your media, just to give it a try and see how it performs with your media files.

    Just give it a try and see how it works, however I would wait for the new scanner update before upgrading fully to navidrome which would give some new long awaited functionalities like VA list of all artist.

    But I had so many services running it was a pain to maintain.

    Are you talking about docker containers? You should take a look at what’s up docker to maintain and keep track of your containers. I have approximately 20 containers and It was easier to keep track this way. If you’re more in the 50/100 range… Yeah this sounds a lot ! :o



  • Now I just want to host a web page and expose it with nepenthes…

    First, because I’m a big fan of carnivorous plants.

    Second, because it let’s you poison LLMs, AI and fuck with their data.

    Lastly, because I can do my part and say F#CK Y0U to those privacy data hungry a$$holes !

    I don’t even expose anything directly to the web (always accessible through a tunnel like wireguard) or have any important data to protect from AI or LLMs. But just giving the opportunity to fuck with them while they continuously harvest data from everyone is something I was already thinking off but didn’t knew how.

    Thanks for the link !



  • Anime and .ass subtitles are a bit funky but that’s not due to jellyfin but the player used while streaming in direct play. (In my case)

    I had the issue where on my mobile/laptop some subtitles just disappeared or where strangely formated. After some digging arround I found out that VLC was the culprit and changing the default player to MPV or alternatives like Findroid (which uses MPV as default player) everything went butter smooth in direct play !

    No idea about transcoding though :/



  • I don’t know if it’s bad UX or UI, but I do agree there’s something really disturbing with jellyfin’s options and tweaks… More than once I lost my way and had to click on every option button again to find a specific thing to disable/enable something?

    Now It’s easier after I have passed some time in the options/user menu, but some tweaks and options are not very intuitive.

    Other than that, Jellyfin is awesome and I can’t believe something as good as Jellyfin is free and open source. Thanks to all devloppers behind this, I hope they will stay true to open source and jellyfin will last forever !! But I doubt it.



  • Docker is really cool tech, but not that easy to get it right the first time you run into it. The easy suggestion would probably be some YouTube videos? But the best would be to find your way on the web and follow some written tutorials that gives more details.

    Depending on how far and deep you want to go with docker it can range from a simple command you copy/past to more advanced stuff where you add new tools into the image.

    My first contact with docker was through Network Chuck’s video, while it gives you a first feeling on what it does and how it work at the basic level, it won’t give you the keys to host qbitorrent behind gluetun on a raspberry pie, let alone on how to properly configure and protect it.
