Starting a company isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Entrepreneur hustle culture is a neoliberal trap I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I never worked harder for less money, or felt surrounded by the most disingenuous people I’ve ever met than when I worked for myself. I’ll just keep collecting a paycheck and actually enjoy my life while not “on the clock”.

I thought that was the final goal of neoliberalism.

Don’t port forward Jellyfin. That’s terribly insecure. Just install tailscale or similar and invite the people you wish to allow access.

I don’t disagree with you. My earlier comment that mentions port forwarding and infrastructure comes from guides that direct admins to set up a tunnel through Cloudflare, expose JFs port at the router, and point the tunnel at it. Not only is it insecure and likely to offer poor performance, it’s probably a violation of CF ToS (tunneling video data). Going the Plex or pivpn routes will require a port being forwarded, Plex more a beginner option, pivpn only slightly more complicated, but both still expose an attack surface. Tailscale looks appealing from a security perspective, no port forwarding required, plus I find full mesh networks really neat. I just don’t want to rely on tailscale’s coordinated servers to stand between my network devices since I rely on WireGuard for more than media streaming. Tailscale is definitely a great solution for users with CGNAT-based ISPs though.

Your biggest issue self hosting JF will likely be port forwarding and the infrastructure required so external users can connect via WAN. Plex abstracts a lot of this away since you just have to open the port and Plex will access your library and broker the data between your server and the client. This now requires the server owner have a Plex Pass. The easiest way to host JF is allowing users LAN access via WireGuard (pivpn) but then you start hitting limitations to which devices they can install WireGuard on (smart tvs). I use Plex and JF, Plex for external users since I bought the lifetime pass 10 years ago, and JF as a backup as the enshittification of Plex continues full steam.

If your PC has 32gb of RAM or more throw it away (in my trash bin) immediately.

I thought Apple doesn’t let the bad guys … oh wait, that’s just in Movies and TV shows.

After reading this I’m convinced we’ll not only know it’s AI but be able to identify which platform. We’ll get to a point where people will go must’ve used Gemini it’s the only one still serving Factor ads 😂

I suppose identifying AI is going to be a lot easier when users copy and paste answers that contain some sort of ad roll.

It’s gonna be really hard to argue your Grapes of Wrath essay wasn’t AI generated when you submit without proofreading and don’t catch the sponsored ad for Walmart+ grocery delivery.

The article reads like the inner monologue of every six figure tech neoliberal.

I’ve been experimenting with something similar the last two months. My workflow involves self reported health data via NextCloud forms. The api feeds a sql db that’s modeled using grafana. I also have a python tool in open webui to chat over the data with gpt-oss:20b. Fun project. Happy to hear others are tinkering too.

I think it’s already active for me. I asked it to write a py script exposing a fast api and it chose 8008 as the port.

It’s probably because tech influencers on insert your fav video scrolling app love choosing arch as their flavor of the month Linux distro

Plexamp for music streaming so I have CarPlay compatibility and Tunaar as a custom IPTV xml provider where I created an MTV like channel that plays ~200 music videos between Daria and Beavis and Butthead episode blocks through Jellyfin.

Definitely overkill for just a calendar app but the great thing about NextCloud is once you spin it up there’s probably an integration for the next 5 FOSS solutions you’re looking for, which means fewer containers to manage in Docker.

Nextcloud 🤷‍♂️

MFA & Authenticator apps

Why do they need to test it? M$ has been doing this on the Xbox platform for over a year now.

Will it make the 480x720 videos I watch on my 4K tv look twice as good?

You really think education reform is going to win out over creating a giant pool of uneducated serfs for Jeff‘s warehouses? I would give anything for your sense of optimism, honestly.

He forgot to list his Minecraft server
