Are you using wireless? I’m guessing your router is occasionally being oversaturated with traffic. I would turn your streaming quality down to around 2mb and then stream to your device. You can open up Jellyfin in a browser and check the steam information in the Jellyfin Dashboard to check the speed. Keep bumping it up if you want better quality.

If you’re trying to prevent transcoding, then I suggest downloading or ripping lower bitrate content.

If you happen to have a spare router, I would try adding it as an access point and keep your Jellyfin source machine and streaming device on that access point. That should keep the traffic from going through your primary router.

Apple couldn’t monetize firmware so they got rid of it (probably).

Because they block access without signing up.

You’ve got some points but I would argue that antiquated UI will be what saves the Internet. Keeping out bots and AI scrapers with good old fashioned phpBBS systems that have been around for twenty years will be our clean data as we build systems outside of AI and the techbro properties.

I’m far from an expert, but it seems like if one cloud node goes down, pay hackers to slam everything with bot traffic and the system is brought to its knees.

I can’t speak for everyone with my comment here. I really, really hate the side effects of the AI bubble. Where they force it into every fucking element of life. And honestly, I hate even that it’s being called AI. I hate that it’s made traditional algorithmic services worse like Google Now for example. And I hate the lack of privacy it’s brought.

That said, I have no problems with someone using it to complete a project with it. I think it could potentially raise a potential device security concern in a case like this. And probably wouldn’t partake in the app because of that. But I use my own self-hosted LLMs all the time. It helps me format things, saves me time with searching and researching when I want an answer, not knowledge.

There are many rational reasons to dislike and avoid “AI”. As well, there’s many irrational people. And there are some good uses for the technology.

This (seemingly) solves some issues in places like Africa where warlords block or destroy delivery systems to remote villages. Also fixes disaster recovery where pipes are destroyed or water systems are contaminated

Email, dental hygiene, spelling, reality. They just can’t hack a good many things.

Okay, but what happens if you spell favorites wrong?

Data centers will consume…

No, data centers that are slated to be built say they’ll consume. If they don’t get built because they run out of funding or the bubble bursts, then they won’t consume. They’re trying really fucking hard to make fetch happen.

He’s using Darth Vader logic. Classic.

I am in the midst of setting up a Friendica install for my larger community. I’m trying out Elest.io for it, using netcup servers so I don’t have to deal with the security and hardening and starting off as cheap as possible with expandability. Just to try to filter people away from Facebook. A lot of people are starting to leave Facebook and I think it’s time to go back to basics. I might try to set up a Matrix server as well, but one thing at a time.

Incogni feels like a product the data brokers created to double tap your data and get paid for doing it.

I’m not sure if it fits your criteria exactly, but Grocy has an assignable chore list. I’ve not used this function but I have used the mobile app which is solid.

I set up Jellyseer so my friends can request whatever. Just blame your full collection of My Little Pony and Gilmore girls on that one friend from Finland (unless you’re in Finland, and then use Greece).

I have been doing ADA compliance professionally for a while. There is no magic on this one. There’s no existing solution that doesn’t require manual interference because it requires context. Human context. It has to be understood to be understandable. There’s a few things you can do to improve overall accessibility but nothing in a suite. I specialize in InDesign and it’s probably the most powerful document solution going. But it requires a lot of work to meet the most basic of requirements.

Oh, LazyLibrarian. I guess no one else could figure out how it works. I still try after updates… Nope. If it works, I just don’t understand it.

Have you tried just explaining when you use jargon? If you don’t understand the term enough to explain it, I get it. That’s how I am with the laws of thermodynamics. But, no reason to be hostile about knowing the term and not the definition.

How did you install Jellyfin? Just like on a Windows/Mac/Linux machine? Docker?

The other device, is it on the same network and/or subnetwork as the Jellyfin install? It will not do remote connections out of the box.

After having some issues with TrueNAS killing containers after updates, I went to Unraid and have never been happier. TrueNAS file sharing permissions also never did make sense to me. I got them to work but never quite grok’d them. Unraid performs exactly like I’d expect. I hand rolled a NAS using Ubuntu way back in the day and didn’t have the desire to tinker on the NAS side of things too much.

On Unraid, I roll a larger xfs array for all of my media and large storage, then I have a two disk ZFS array for my more important documents and pictures. That gets archived up to the xfs array and my cache nvme drives have their own ZFS pool. I don’t gain a ton by doing this, it was just fun to set up and I feel reasonably secure with my personal data.

I also run a smaller, lower powered machine with Proxmox and I run Home Assistant on it. Mostly because of tinkering with hardware support in Home Assistant, I didn’t want it messing with my NAS needing restarts and such. But, Unraid is my workhorse. Day in, day out, it does exactly what I suspect with no surprises. I’ve had drives go bad and need replaced. I’ve had the whole machine just die and had to build a new machine. Unraid did exactly what I expected and needed every step of the way. The docker support is fantastic and super stable. Running multiples of the exact same container by duplicating and with only different port settings works great. I can’t say that for my independent docker installs without a bunch of tinkering on things I couldn’t seem to find enough about when I ran into issues.

I tinker on the things I enjoy. I do not enjoy having an unusable server. The anxiety is actually pretty insane for me. I would pay for Unraid many times over to get this combination of factors.
