I am very interested in this as well.

I wonder if creating some kind of shared NixOS setup might work? (I know very little about NixOS but it seems like it should be good for this sort of thing?)

If you start down this road and set up a git repo or something, I would be interested in contributing/testing.

I also kinda like the idea of being able to slap other things into usb ports - dashcams, a usb stick with a good road trip mix, etc.

This is cool.

It’s this old link, eh?

Citation needed.

The most compelling feature I always get asked if Jellyfin has ala Plex is the discovery/NAT punch for linking people up.

That does not strike me as something that necessarily breaks backwards compatibility. It would require some centralized discovery, and I think that is probably where we run into an issue because if I were the Jellyfin devs, I wouldn’t want to have to support that, either.

You sound like me. I hope you can find a way to flip your focus: your time outside work should be way more about you than it sounds like your work life is letting it be.

Maybe you are one of the very few with a meaningful job. If not, consider trying to treat your job like the bullshit it is and use your best cycles outside work on stuff that will really make you happy.

Jellyfin is open source. You could be helping out.

Best of luck with Plex, though. I would say this is even more writing on the wall but it does not sound like that matters to you.

All current popular AI is meant to run on GPU. Why are you going to spend more money to run it on hardware for which it isn’t intended?

The N100 is a nice little chip for mini home servers. I run podman containers for all media stuff with no issues. You’re gonna have fun.

🤷‍♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.

You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.

Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.

Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.

If Netflix is denying you access to the subscription you pay for because you’re using a VPN to connect, that starts to smell like a good class action to me.
