Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong?

Not yell, but: Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update so you might want to read up on reverse proxies before then.

Additionally, you might want to check if Shodan has your Jellyfin instance listed: https://www.shodan.io/

Unironically ending your Github comment with a Bible reference has to be the weirdest thing I have seen on Github, and I have seen some weird comments.

Is there something KMag does that the included zoom effect (Meta + Control + Scroll) does not do?

I use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.

The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I’m not sure if I would use Kodi for it.

Thanks!

Steam does as well.

I found out recently that KDE has a “Focus stealing prevention” in their settings and it has been glorious.

What GPU are we talking about?

Your kernel is defaulting to the radeon driver instead of amdgpu, depending on which generation your GPU belongs to, you can force the kernel to use amdgpu instead. It’s considered unsupported but you’re still going to be much better off running the much newer amdgpu, if your hardware is still capable of using it.

I “vibe code” anything that is throwaway.

Same here. It’s surprisingly easy to get quick results with a few prompts for one-time scripts without putting any effort in.

I did something similar a while ago but for changing volume on a single application, should work for devices as well though since both are just nodes.

Try this:

#!/bin/sh

node_id=$(pw-dump | jq '.[] | select(.type == "PipeWire:Interface:Node" and .info.props."node.name" == "Virtual-Sink-1") | .id')

echo "Adjusting volume for $node_id"

wpctl set-volume $node_id 10%-

Replace Virtual-Sink-1 with the name of your audio device and 10%- with the operation you want to perform.

I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as “Full ASS”.

I think you are right about the Elgato PCI-e models not working on Linux unfortunately.

In case you are ever in the market for a new capture card in the future:

99.9% of USB capture cards work out of the box. Alternatively, if it has to be PCI-e: Blackmagic provides first-class Linux drivers for their PCI-e cards.

We use some Blackmagic cards for larger projects and for the smaller ones we use Elgato USB capture cards.

Also, my $250 elgato capture card doesn’t support Linux.

Which one? We use a few Elgato capture cards with OBS on Linux at work and all of them are bog-standard UVC video devices.

I played minecraft with my spouse

Check out Prism Launcher if you play Java Minecraft. It allows you to easily manage multiple Minecraft versions. Modded, unmodded, different versions, etc…

Yep, that’s why. If your controller is new enough, use Bluetooth.

Pretty much connect & play via Bluetooth.

I ran Emby for a while before switching to Jellyfin. Still running it today.

It has been a few years since I last used Plex but I always liked their interface, their tech stack is fairly modern, they have apps for pretty much every device, their title matching for content works really well and there was not much wrong with it back in the day other than it lacking local authentication.

I switched over long ago when they started pushing streaming services to my users that I couldn’t deactivate server side.

If Caddy works for you, no reason to change it.

I use Traefik because I like how tightly integrated it is with Docker. If the container with the config labels on it starts/stops the corresponding router in Traefik also starts/stops.

Since my services are mostly running in Docker, it’s the perfect workflow for me.

You said it is unsuitable for highways, I don’t consider vehicles that go the speed limit on the highway unsuitable for it. Unsuitable for motorcycle enthusiasts? Probably.

No prizes here for guessing that you’re not into cars or motorbikes.

Define “into”. My car goes 230 km/h and I have driven that speed…once, maybe twice. Does not mean I don’t enjoy accelerating up curvy mountain roads.

If my future car has the same acceleration but is limited to 140 km/h, I wouldn’t care that much.

Lets put it this way… are you going to buy one?

This one? Unlikely, but not because of the 130 km/h limit but because of the price. I consider motorcycles unpractical and unsafe for daily use, so the only use would be for fun. I would love one for sunny days but they have to get cheaper.

Can you point to a car that is limited to 130kmh?

Not exactly 130km/h but plenty of cars are limited to 140km/h or very close to it, for example the Hyundai Inster.

You’re not allowed to drive faster than 130 km/h here and more and more highways are switching to 100 km/h, so I’m not sure why my vehicle should be able to drive 280 km/h. Even more so on a motorcycle.

On a track? Sure, but I don’t need my average commuter vehicle to reach those speeds.

Anyway, what I wanted to know is why do people self host?

For the warm and fuzzy feeling I get when I know all my documents, notes, calendars, contacts, passwords, movies/shows/music, videos, pictures and much more are stored safely in my basement and belong to me.

Nobody is training their AI on it, nobody is trying to use them for targetted ads, nobody is selling them. Just for me.

You had me at “No Java”.
