  • [question] what are good alternatives to jellyfin?
  • I forgot to check that, stupid of me.

  • [question] what are good alternatives to jellyfin?
  • 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 might be misinformed then, I'll have look better into it.

  • [question] what are good alternatives to jellyfin?
  • It's a vps so maybe I am indeed lacking hardware.

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

  • [question] what are good alternatives to jellyfin?
  • 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

  • "Teddit is Shutting Down. Lemmy is the New Reddit"
  • 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.

  • [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 those (funkwhale for music, still looking into the books and comics ) So, which self hosted alternatives do I have for videos and books/comic books? I need things that only do that but don't well. The video one needs to have a client I can install on a android device I have plugged ony tv

    Would a raspberry pi zero be powerful enough to host a matrix server with some bridges?

    I have a pi zero laying around and I have no use for it as of now. I was wondering if I could host a matrix server on it, I worry it might just not be powerful enough as the title would imply.

    Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age
  • First time I read about it, what's great about it? I currently use a combo of alacritty and tmux and aside for a thing or two I could configure better I love it.

  • It's on!
  • Would be better with a fediverse logo.

  • What's your "old person" trait?
  • I'll offer the other side of the coin just to give more food for thoughts, but I will also add that unlike OP I believe a phone call or a polite text would be enough: Should someone ghost in the name of safety, when a dangerous person would still look for you in person anyway or should they consider the feelings of someone they don't like just because they don't know they are a decent human being?

    I understand where you're coming from, but a phone call or a message will keep you safe from a beating or being yelled at, homeboy starts yelling? Block the number. If you ghost someone they might still get really angry and look for you in person, maybe I'm ignorant and stupid but I don't see a lot of extra safety in ghosting unless we assume that to tell someone you're not interested you have to do it in person.

    If you ghost someone there is a chance you avoid their anger, a chance. But there's also 100% certainty that you're going to hurt someone's feelings. Not to mention I do believe that's not the only cause, there's definitely people that ghost because they just don't care about the other person.

  • Looking for recommendation to start programmi
  • Thanks, ruby was another language I saw in the thread popping a few times, the first one being python. I I was told a few things python can be good for, can you give me a few examples of good uses for ruby just to have a vague idea?

  • 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 useful things. Something I would love to do is make games, I know those are usually made in C, which is a very difficult one, but maybe some simpler games can be made with other languages.

    Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political!
  • Personally I disagree but that's ok, we can't all see it the same way :)

  • Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political!
  • 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.

  • Is anybody else having troubles with Aurora store?

    I've been unable to use it for weeks now, anybody knows if there's something wrong? Or is it just on my end?

    What do we call the Lemmy/Kbin Universe?
  • 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.

  • Would a raspberry pi zero manage to host a Lemmy instance?

    Title, I want to host a Lemmy instance and to save money I was hoping to use a pizero that I already have. I would consider a vps, but I worry about bandwidth

    help me choose my next distro
  • If your laptop is on the potato side I would personally avoid kde, it's much lighter now than it used to be but still heavier than other options. Mint looks good in my personal opinion and, again in my opinion, is a better alternative if compared to ubuntu, it's based on it but with some improvements. The default flavor comes with cinnamon, but if your laptop struggles it's also available with xfce, which even older machines should be able to handle.
