I think that’s largely due to the lack of variety in our clientele.

It seems to be hard to get anyone from the non-geek community over here. My wife isn’t interested at all if it doesn’t have an algorithm. She wants the tech to spoon-feed her things she’ll like instead of finding communities. Threads, Bluesky, Tiktok, Instagram just have all the people because it’s what the masses crave.

I mean reddit is doing their best to send them our way!

Sounds like we need to get to cloning.

The whole thing needs legal, insurance and escrow. Nobody in their right mind would want to host it for free if it actually handled the money. Could go anonymous and crypto but really that’s just asking for it.

Hooking up buyers and sellers and having them sort out prices, taxes and shipping would prob be the only viable way.

At some point, someone is going to do enough business to get a good rep and make a large sale and screw someone out of money.

Monetization broker for a video service. Let’s give Youtube a run for the money.

Hosted gaming system, card games, board games, tabletop simulator style. Maybe Minecraft java, built around self hostable servers.

E2E Encryption Communication, maybe a tightly integrated reticulum host.

Dedicated news system focused on free journalism (hard with AI and propaganda I know)

Shore up Pixelfed and Loops or Competition for them.

Some form of integrated system that ties all this stuff together, like a dashboard with all your different things. Maybe something like the homeassistant dashboard but for all your fedi services.

try adding

client_body_buffer_size 0; above proxy_request_buffering off;

Make sure you’re not running out of ram or disk space.

All I wanted to see is what activity over time was going on with my server and who was doing it. For that, it was clutch. YMMV

Jellystat isn’t bad for a Taut alternative

You know, there’s probably a market for a hardware solution to do that. Wrap it up in a nice user interface, Family VPN bridge, expose JF servers.

just syncthing it :)

I just wish they’d fucking take their security seriously and we could wipe plex out.

You do then still have to expose JF to the open internet. That’s not without risk. Neither is Plex but they do make it a point to secure all their endpoints before login.

Repectfully, I think you’re wrong.

Making an account and giving it to uncle fred with a website address is a LOT easier than telling him to install an app on his phone/computer, inviting him via email, then trying to explain to him how to turn it on and off and telling him not to mess with the settings and route all his traffic through my home network.

That is still one spot where plex holds an edge.

The next time there’s a zero day in one of their packages you get pwned because their login doesn’t protect their ‘internal’ endpoints.

Keep that thing wrapped up or you will eventually regret it.

Honestly for video I agree, for audio, it’s just me and only in my house or phone so tailscale is fine. If my friends really want audio, they can pay streaming for it.

Yup, I only keep 4k of stuff that was really shot/scanned in 4k and absolutely worth it. 90% of the 4k content out there is 1080p upscaled anyway.

75TB

JF is damn good for video and has a better interface than plex

Finamp is horrible for big collections. As you ask JF for tracks or artists it loads them a handful at a time. I have 2300 artists 26,000+ tracks, if I want to listen to some NiN, trying to scroll through to N’s is maddening.

Finamp just crashes on me now and then. Play -> shuffle… wtf knows, might go 10m might go 2. Samsung Phone with 6GB of ram.

Finamp is rooted to JF features only, eg: it is incapable of cross fading because it has no ability to tell JF the songs were last played easily. If you want to set up a really large playlist, it’s one at a time, but you can put an m3u in the folder. but once you do that, your playlist is no longer editable through the GUI.

I moved over to Symfonium. It loaded my playlists, let’s me crossfade, everything seems ok, until i add new music or modify a playlist and it has to scrape the entirety of my collection to add a song. It can take hours.

I’m big on my playlists. I have exported years of jackfm and 98 rock to recreate real playlists from different eras.

JF audio is just absolutely stuck in the stoneage and any attempt for clients to work arond it and dig them out still have to deal with their slower than fuck database and api.

Maybe some form of engagement or time limit would serve. If the post is empty or low engagement and less than 2 days old, it can go. After that it’s up to mod?
