When you add a request you can select the target directory where you want the files to end up (Root Folder). If you follow the Linuxserver.io setup, you should have created a bind volume called /media for where you want your media to end up for the use of Jellyfin which you can use.

A recent-ish Intel CPU. Even the mini pc’s with a n5000/n95/n100 class CPU will make light work of transcoding nearly everything into x265 using the igpu. The most recent gen will do AV1 decode/transcode as well.

Their points about it not having monetization make zero sense - there’s a bunch of shit on the internet available for free, the fediverse didn’t invent that.

It has to be paid for, though. Servers, traffic and disk space aren’t free, the volunteers who run instances will need to be compensated once their instances start to become their day jobs and there are legal hoops that some servers will need to jump through when it comes to nsfw content, removing copyrighted content etc. We’re in the early days of the fediverse atm, so it’s interesting to see how this will all pan out!

A mixture of Mobile Web and Connect. I’ll probably re-evaluate in a couple of weeks. I really liked Jerboa, but new posts never seemed to refresh on my instance, I’ll probably try that again.

For me there’s one massive flaw with the mobile web version of Lemmy - that when you go “back” after viewing a post the page scrolls near to the top of the page. If it weren’t for that I’d happily give up the quest for an app.

I don’t get why big companys are afraid of open source software.

Some definitely have a legitimate fear - incorrectly linking their closed source app with a GPL 3 project can put them in a place where they need to disclose their source to an end user. Some people refer to GPL as “poisonous” for this reason.

The RHEL issue one is definitely an interesting beast, though. It will either improve their sales or piss off enough people in the community into not maintaining RHEL support and telling their large customers that RH/IBM are no longer trustworthy. This could be Oracle’s time to actually give something back to the community and shepherd a new ‘open’ enterprise standard distribution, but given their track history…

it’s not a problem there

It is, because my wife is an avid Tok user and complains about it, and reports it, frequently. She also says there are many animal videos that are “unsettling” but not outright abuse.

I don’t use Tiktok but I gather that this is a big problem over there as well, so it sounds like Twitter is working just as well as the site it’s riffing off.
