I have several of these set up. Mostly for opening windows to reduce AC use. If the temp outside is dropping and is within two degrees of interior temp, then it’s time to open the windows. And the inverse during autumn to close them. I could have saved you some time probably.

I’m not either but I still do it.

That is exactly it, yes. And I am thinking about reaching out to them about it and their blocklist. But after thinking about it, anyone with $16 in hosting can start an AI hacking instance. It’s just going to get worse.

This one was 66.187.5.19. I tried to find a way to report their behavior on hostodo (the service they’re using) but they don’t seem to have a report option. I’m guessing because they don’t want to prevent this kind of thing.

Mom can we watch ‘GRUB Not Found’ again?

I expected more horses in Saint Denis.

That is a solid enough reason and one I wasn’t aware of. Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find out, thank you!

I’ve been eyeing Gitea. Do you have any reason for using Forgejo that I might overlook Gitea in favor of it?

Same boat, the exact same refurb 10tb drives I’ve got in my system are 2.5x my last purchase. But I did get a lot of fast RAM before the prices went nuts.

Don’t forget to check out Youtarr. I think it hits all the targets. You can do channels, playlists or individual videos. It has an option for a proxy URL to use to download which I believe can be set up with a self-hosted VPN. And it formats and sends things directly to Jellyfin.

Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and Navidrome for music.

Music Assistant most of the time. Sometimes I just use Symfonium directly but they both tap into my Navidrome server.

I thought about replying to some comments but decided to make a top level comment instead. There are some valid points a few people have brought up that aren’t the easiest things to fix. Some are, actually pretty easy to fix. Some are issues where Jellyfin forces you to do things a certain way, like file naming convention, which I think is extremely smart to do anyway.

But the one reply I keep seeing is “until Plex stops working, I see no reason to switch”. With that, I mean, I guess we all agree you are going to get fucked by Plex at some point. They’ve been slowly cranking up the heat in the pot. I love my media library and I just couldn’t stand waiting for the rolling boil. I’ve been using Adobe products since 1999. I recognize an abusive relationship when I see it. If you’re happy where you’re at, I mean, by all means. I’m not going to yuck your yum. Many of the issues are exactly the kinds of things the Jellyfin community is happy to help fix with you. I do wish you all the best, but I’ve never gotten locked into a great deal that didn’t hurt when I needed to get out of it before.

Are they Samsung TVs?

The hardware is often mid so I’ve gotten away from Motorola, but I’ve never enjoyed any phone as much as I did my Motorolas. If I can have Graphene OS and Moto actions… I would be so fucking happy

Every reasonable person knows that. But people aren’t reasonable. The average person is a complete fucking moron. Tack on to that idiocy, you’ve also got years of talk radio, podcasts, and Cambridge Analytica technology in social media affecting their brains and you’re not going to reach them. That’s not to say they can’t be reached, but you’re not going to convince them. There’s not an argument or series of arguments that will reach them. They need to experience things to get out of that mindset. We’re finally seeing that come to pass as layoffs, food and fuel costs are angering people. They’re shaking their heads a little. We will get there. I have no idea how much damage will be done before then. I have no idea what systems are recoverable. I don’t know if there will be too many people in concentration camps, I don’t know if we’re going to have any water or farmable land. And I don’t know if there will be anything worth fighting for by the time enough people decide to fight. I suppose that’s how many of these events play out in history. Authoritarian regimes are temporary by nature. Who survives them and how is always changing.

I’ll take a moment to note some challenges about living and fighting in America. The country is huge. Moving people from one part to another is not trivial. Ask anyone who went to a big concert, or a hot vacation spot how it went and they will always mention the traffic. And that’s just an uptick in people at one location. Doing things en masse requires infrastructure we don’t have. And along with that infrastructure, any given spot has about 3 days of food without trucks. No one area (save for Central California) grows enough of a variety of foods to exist on. The central plains have wheat and corn, the coasts have fruit, the South has livestock. Not only do we only exist for a few days without resupply, the resupply routes are days of constant driving to do so from different parts of the country simultaneously. Most any Western State is the size of European Countries. To get produce from California to Washington DC is like moving it from Spain to Ukraine. Or Ireland to Uzbekistan.

So, tell me, how easy is it for an Irishman to convince parts of the UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland (just kidding, they’d never join anything), Italy, Austria, Greece, Czechia, Romania, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and maybe even Georgia and Azerbaijan to keep supplying them with food and supplies as they do a general strike with potentially no forceful outcome? Or even that same Irishman to travel to the political seat of Uzbekistan with members of the aforementioned countries in tow in numbers large enough to affect change and make sure people are supplied along the way? You tell me how to make that happen and I’ll do my part in mapping it out.

“All you have to do is convince 150 million adults to sacrifice what little safety and security they feel they have to do a thing they’ve never personally experienced through decades of propaganda. Why are you still sitting there, crying?”

Are you using wireless? I’m guessing your router is occasionally being oversaturated with traffic. I would turn your streaming quality down to around 2mb and then stream to your device. You can open up Jellyfin in a browser and check the steam information in the Jellyfin Dashboard to check the speed. Keep bumping it up if you want better quality.

If you’re trying to prevent transcoding, then I suggest downloading or ripping lower bitrate content.

If you happen to have a spare router, I would try adding it as an access point and keep your Jellyfin source machine and streaming device on that access point. That should keep the traffic from going through your primary router.

If someone would have paid to see Walt’s cock, maybe he would have gone a more innocent route.

Apple couldn’t monetize firmware so they got rid of it (probably).
