It has centralised features like proprietary user sharing (which is neat but still), arbitrary limits like device limits, the ability to transcode using your server’s hardware, and other stuff that Emby/Jellyfin users have as standard. So we generally see the restrictions as taking power and ownership away from our own media/hardware.
And any cool premium Plex features like merging multiple servers into one UI get adopted and ported into Emby/Jellyfin pretty damn quickly
I’m in the middle of perfecting a guide for one type of Matrix server, based on my own experience (Proxmox LXC, Continuwuity, token based registration), will update this with a link (placeholder comment)
It’s fucking wild how quickly the media work to water down the impact of things that make Western governments a lot of quick money. Like overusing ‘genocide’ to stop people talking about the annihilation of Palestine, they’re using articles worded like this to distract from the actual data centres.
English and vocal against the state’s mistakes
Apparently Ben Graham, the one who tweeted this, is a Reform supporter so, obviously not a valid voice
A burglar doesn’t intend to fuck up your whole life and/or extinguish it. I prefer the burglar over the cop.
I agree, it would be nice.
Last I checked it’s a mess. When I had Nest Audio speakers, Google’s given reason for not integrating Tidal was Tidal’s lack of playback API. Meanwhile Music Assistant for Home Assistant is entirely capable of using Tidal API, or at least masquerades as a client. But yeah, the best solution for Tidal is using Sonos speakers and choosing music in either the Sonos app, or the Tidal app via casting, and the only voice support is through Amazon Alexa but I think only the USA has that add-on enabled.
And several of us here know this as the reason why rented cloud services are terrible. The providers, by simply being known and by the usual capitalist fails of cutting corners to provide a barely passable service, are always going to be vulnerable to attacks, either by hackers, owners/shareholders or state regulations. Synchronising data to another device you own never needs a server in the middle – it’s just designed that way. Even before the chance of a bad actor’s influence, the reason servers are ever made mandatory as central communication is data harvesting for sale to land in the hands of businesses that use it to manipulate people to purchase their products. If harvesting does not happen, then the ToS agreement would not include agreements to it.
I was at this point for a while, believing gaming on Linux wasn’t up to par, until I discovered that Linux has a decent translation layer (Proton/Wine) that means even though the vast majority of Steam games are Windows only, Steam or other launchers like Heroic just run them in a container, and from my experience none of my games have had issues. This has only improved massively over the years.
+1 for Hyper-V, despite being glitchy and only sustaining Home Assistant for about 12 hours this and VirtualBox were my best chance at self hosting VMs on a Windows host. The problem wasn’t the virtualization, but the rest of the OS and its persistent maintenance cycles. Antivirus (MsMpEng.exe) and its NTFS scanning running more and more resources until the CPU was clogged. OP has gotta start somewhere.
China’s TikTok has a unique name, I reckon the US version should have one too
For me it was Spotify. Their radio mixes were far too repetitive and I got sick of hearing the same songs so I shopped around, and I found out Tidal offers higher quality streaming at a lower price. Extra bonus: Tidal’s radio mixes are far more diverse. Small caveat: not everything is on Tidal; some albums missing, some artists don’t publish to it because Spotify and iTunes are the forerunners with most tech manufacturers supporting them natively (such as the Spotify integration in Bose hardware), whereas Tidal maintains the audiophile niche (only integrated with Sonos and Bang & Olufsen I believe).
Rejecting something solely because of the naming choice of one person is, imo, far more indicative of stupidity. That and hating on someone else’s joy.
– Conduit maintenance slowed to a crawl (there was a single dev) so somebody made
-> Conduwuit brought the project up to speed but was abandoned and archived by the lead dev because she got significant hate including bigotry and false accusations, and had to prioritise mental wellbeing over the project. Then, two projects spawned from this
-> Continuwuity, maintained by dedicated hobbyists, and
-> Tuwunel, a corporate-sponsored fork funded initially by the Swiss government with at least one dev on payroll, maintained primarily by a co-dev of Conduwuit. Both teams loved the naming joke and kept ‘uwu’ in the name of their successors.
Synapse offers features first,
Tuwunel offers stable and timely updates,
Continuwuity offers a completely non-corporate, community run alternative.
Dendrite also exists
Bet it’ll still bar a significant amount of youthful looking, small breasted, hair-free folk up to the age of 40… If they also implement an AI scan
Bet said AI model that would clearly be trained on images of CSAM will be hacked to generate worse images than Grok
I run it on residential, and since routing outgoing mail through smtp2go I don’t even get issues with my ISP putting my IP on the PBL. Once my contract is over I’m getting a static IP with a better supplier. Been solid for over two years
Bonus of running my own inbox, I learned how to discard annoying emails that can’t be unsubscribed from
All it would need is a thermal fuse/cutoff, like those in portable heating appliances (air fryers, grills etc.). I wonder what’s needed to include a 10 second on & 30 seconds disabled timer, maybe it’s cheaper
Jellyfin is quite easy to use remotely (prerequisite: purchased domain (easy), tunnel VPN (complex) or public static IP (not always an option)). I confess I use Emby as I bought premium for it once I learned how much it suits me, and the UI is much nicer and rounded – although I didn’t need to pay in order to do most of what I wanted. I can say that my friends access the library with a one time login and minimal friction, but I’m also not going to preach further - sometimes it’s better not to fuck with a working system, and I respect your choice
