Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong?
Not yell, but: Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update so you might want to read up on reverse proxies before then.
Additionally, you might want to check if Shodan has your Jellyfin instance listed: https://www.shodan.io/
I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.
The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I’m not sure if I would use Kodi for it.
Depending on where in Austria:
Kas, Käs or Kaas
Steam does as well.
I found out recently that KDE has a “Focus stealing prevention” in their settings and it has been glorious.
I “vibe code” anything that is throwaway.
Same here. It’s surprisingly easy to get quick results with a few prompts for one-time scripts without putting any effort in.
I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as “Full ASS”.
Props for releasing it!
I built my own downloader for Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer, which monitors the favorites on each platform and downloads them automatically. Was always too afraid to release it.
I ran Emby for a while before switching to Jellyfin. Still running it today.
It has been a few years since I last used Plex but I always liked their interface, their tech stack is fairly modern, they have apps for pretty much every device, their title matching for content works really well and there was not much wrong with it back in the day other than it lacking local authentication.
I switched over long ago when they started pushing streaming services to my users that I couldn’t deactivate server side.
If Caddy works for you, no reason to change it.
I use Traefik because I like how tightly integrated it is with Docker. If the container with the config labels on it starts/stops the corresponding router in Traefik also starts/stops.
Since my services are mostly running in Docker, it’s the perfect workflow for me.
Anyway, what I wanted to know is why do people self host?
For the warm and fuzzy feeling I get when I know all my documents, notes, calendars, contacts, passwords, movies/shows/music, videos, pictures and much more are stored safely in my basement and belong to me.
Nobody is training their AI on it, nobody is trying to use them for targetted ads, nobody is selling them. Just for me.
You had me at “No Java”.
Most modern OLED panels on TVs and monitors don’t actually use classic PWM for dimming, they never turn off completely and instead fluctuate between like 100% and 95% brightness based on the refresh rate.
Did you ever test if you can see that as well at different refresh rates?
rtings always tests this under “Image Flicker”. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/image-flicker
It’s not considered flicker-free but the OLED panels listed with 0 Hz PWM frequency (most of them) should look fine.
However, there are two other elements that might cause issues:
Both can cause an unpleasant experience if you are sensitive to it.
Phones still commonly use PWM because it uses less energy. There are some that have a DC dimming option but it’s rare.
It’s amazing. With my black theme, a black background, and the mouse off the monitor, you can’t even tell the thing is on.
I have a solid black color as background and a hidden task bar on my OLED monitor.
It’s just a mouse cursor floating in nothingness.
- jellyfin didn’t like when files used periods instead of spaces.
At least that can’t be the problem since my entire library (except music) uses periods instead of spaces.
Then again, I spent quite some time organizing my library when I first started using Radarr and Sonarr. Ever since those manage my library I had no issues in Jellyfin.
Wow, I haven’t used Plex in years but this reads like some Windows 11 installation guide with all those checkmarks and hidden options.
Copying from an older comment of mine:
IPv6 is pretty much identical to IPv4 in terms of functionality.
The biggest difference is that there is no more need for NAT with IPv6 because of the sheer amount of IPv6 addresses available. Every device in an IPv6 network gets their own public IP.
For example: I get 1 public IPv4 address from my ISP but 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IPv6 addresses. That’s a number I can’t even pronounce and it’s just for me.
There are a few advantages that this brings:
- Any client in the network can get a fresh IP every day to reduce tracking
- It is pretty much impossible to run a full network scan on this amount of IP addresses
- Every device can expose their own service on their own IP (For example: You can run multiple web servers on the same port without a reverse proxy or multiple people can host their own game server on the same port)
There are some more smaller changes that improve performance compared to IPv4, but it’s minimal.
My unifi kit can convert us to IPv6 but I’m hesitant without knowing what devices it will break.
You don’t usually “convert” to IPv6 but run in dual stack, with both IPv4 and IPv6 working simultaneously. Make sure your ISP supports IPv6 first, there is little use to only run IPv6 internally.
I finally got IPv6 working in Docker Swarm…by moving from Docker Swarm to regular Docker.
Traefik now properly gets IPv6 addresses and forwards them to the backend.
The petition needs to be signed with the eID of a EU country, a EU passport or a EU identification card in most countries.
Unless you have one of those, you can’t sign the petition with bogus info.
Not sure how countries that don’t have those handle it.
