[question] what are good alternatives to jellyfin?

I have a vps where I host a few things and I tried adding jellyfin. It worked and while scanning media railed the CPU/ram, once it was done everything was smooth. However, despite having all dependencies a bunch of videos didn’t play. I also don’t need the music and ebooks side of jellyfin as I’ll be using other things for...

Have you tried installing Jellyfin as a docker container? The official image as well as the linuxserver.io’s image?

I tried docker, yes. I have to check if I used linuxserver.io image but I did use the official one for sure.

Plex and Emby are some alternatives, but these are closed-source solutions.

Aw heck, I’d prefer foss

Kavita is the one I was looking at as well. I hear plex is closed source and I prefer using open.

It’s a vps so maybe I am indeed lacking hardware.

I actually should be able to do it. The files are hosted on a drive I have at home mounted on a raspberry pi, the drive is then mounted on the vps through sshfs, so while it would take a while I think the pi might do it. Otherwise I’ll just do it on my desktop, the drive is mounted through sshfs here too.

I forgot to check that, stupid of me.

While I am posting from a lemmy account (because I didn’t know about kbin when I made it) if I was to host one of the two it would be kbin. The reason is that lemmy has some hardcoded moderation things inside it that I disapprove of. I believe I should be able to say anything I want without fear of being censored on my own self hosted instance and this comes from a leftist, I don’t want to use bad words to insult people, but if I want to use them in a different context I want to be able to. If I see an argument between a bigot and a fellow lgbtq and the bigot calls my comrade with a slur I want to be able to describe the situation using the exact words used. I think maybe it’s a cultural difference thing, where I live using slurs in a context where we describe a situation rather than for insulting someone it’s not seen as a bad thing. We don’t give those words so much power and importance to the point that even just saying the words makes people gasp. I believe that censoring some words by default without even considering the context they are being used in doesn’t help, I believe it just gives the words more power while we should aim to take power away from them.

Also kbin has a much prettier UI in my opinion.

I might be misinformed then, I’ll have look better into it.

Ah that’s good.

Looking for recommendation to start programmi

Hello friends, the title is mostly self explanatory. I would like to start programming but I also feel like I am not very smart, so I would like a programming language that is easier to grasp than others. That considered I don’t hope to be able to learn something “powerful” but it would be nice to still be able to do some...

I might be wrong but I think memes originated from imageboards

Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political! (cdn.masto.host)

Linus' thread: (CW: bigotry and racism in the comments) https://social.kernel.org/notice/AWSXomDbvdxKgOxVAm (you need to scroll down, i can't seem to link to the comment in the screenshot)

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me. Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order. I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you? I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with. And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

Hard fisagree. Linux isn't political. Everyone has an opinion, it's obvious Linus would too. But I am pretty happy that his opinion is one I personally agree with. Linux can be uaed by anyone though, and nothing stops far right activists (terrorists) from making a distro, which would still be Linux. There's a heavily religious distro too, but that doesn't make Linux as a whole religious.

IIRC templeos is not open source. But I didn't know there were more

Personally I disagree but that's ok, we can't all see it the same way :)

That's interesting, I thought the reason why it can't be messed with and improved for daily use is that it's closed source and therefore can't be updated. But guess I was wrong fair enough.

Wireless cameras that don't spy on you like Ring?

I rent so I cannot set up a wired system. I need two of them and preferably they'd be okay in severe weather. Thunderstorms are common in spring / autumn as is severe weather including tornadoes. In fact my house nearly got hit by one two months ago. Fun times. Summers are hot and sometimes humid. Currently 90s. Triple digits...

You could make your own with a raspberry pi zero

Thanks friend.

Fediverse. Also I hate that mastodon is seen as the fediverse. I had to explain to someone like they were a 5 years old I was using pleroma and they kept saying that no, I didn't understand, we're on mastodon. He didn't get the concept at all.

You know what, I was planning to make a channel, like, videos and stuff. Might make a video explaining this as my first project.

Sorry friend, not sure I follow. Care to explain?

That's interesting, thank you!

Mastodon has enough clients already.
