Thanks for the explanation. And thanks for the article. I learnt something today.

I apologise for other users downvoting this post, seems petty.

I’ve not using a free streaming site for years, but when I did they were bags of shite. Buffering, unavailable, etc. There are apps that aggregate the various sites that try and find a wanted show on multiple sites, but they weren’t much better.

I see self-hosted streaming as just an extension of your “save videos to a storage drive” option. We are just extending the access of that to where its wanted.

I’m just using nginx as a reverse proxy. I’m actually using Emby, which Jellyfin is a fork of. I had issues with Jellyfin playback and wasn’t patient enough to fix at the time, but I’ll try again over xmas.

Pretty much. Personally, I spun up another VM and had the two running alongside each other for a few weeks. Doing it this way allows you to split the work. First get the base server up and running, do some testing and get familiar, then migrate a client.

It took more effort to get family to switch their client than it did to do the server.

Why? Plex was one of the original self hosted streaming platforms and for a long time was pretty much the only option. We have more options now, and those still on Plex, I imagine, are because they don’t have the time or capacity to perform a migration. So they stick with what they’ve got until it breaks.

Maybe this will be the one that breaks it.

I was a Plex holdout until 3 months ago. I wanted off Plex for the last 2 years but just never had the time.

For those waiting, don’t be like me, it’s easier than you think.

NUT server

Cloudflare have a large international network. Perhaps some users could access sites when coming from another region

I was looking at this yesterday. If you actually go and look at the results for your domain, it’s likely that it will only show you the subscription free details and none of the recent ones

I was disappointed gitea changed their default theme from green to blue.

And they actually removed the green theme altogether so it was a forced change.

Is gitea not stable?

Alternatively, keep your Synology, upgrade it and use this script to remove the restrictions.

comparing seafile to rsync reminds me the old “Space Pen” folk tale.

Your phrasing of the question implies poor understanding.

Your phrasing of the answer implies poor understanding. The question was why bare metal vs containers/VMs.

The reasons for dropping Spotify are obvious, however pretext of this guide is that Spotify doesn’t give enough back to artists. So the solution is to pirate it? I mean yeah sure, but don’t kid yourself with the pretext.

How about a guide on ripping owned CDs?

This is the problem with social media, especially Lemmy and Reddit. It is the default stance to assume a neutral comment is hostile. Why do we all argue so much? I’ve been there, but I’m trying to be kinder online. I think it’s a systemic problem and I don’t know the solution.

Yeah I carry that DNS server around with me in the other pocket /s

It’s practical and does it’s job. But the interface is jank. I still use it. But if a modern alternative came along I’d jump.

Wish guacamole didn’t look like total ass. Otherwise a great product.

Looking for a modern alternative though.

Yes and yes.

However I don’t use these solutions for mobiles. I use standard wireguard for that
