Nobara: Has all the gaming features I want on my gaming pc (like gamescope) and is htpc capable. Also, it’s based on Fedora, which I’m familiar with.

Fedora: I like gnome and it’s always fairly up to date and rock solid. Great on my laptop.

Have considered switching to openSUSE though. It’s German (as am I), it’s the first Linux distro I ever used (on my granddad’s PC, more than a decade ago) and I’ve heard a lot of good about tumbleweed.

Last time I used it (been a while though) it was free, if you only transferred playlists up to 200 songs

Don’t like it, personally. The original by Simon & Garfunkel works so well because it‘s so bright, relaxed and upbeat, even, wonderfully contrasting the lyrics, while, in my opinion, Disturbed‘s version is overly dark and dramatic. Way too much pathos and movie-trailer energy.

Yes and it’s the exact same film as Avatar 1, just with water instead of jungle.

Was raised roman-catholic but got disillusioned pretty quickly. I was fairly religious in elementary school but by the time I was 14, I was agnostic/atheist.

Partially because my parents aren’t religious (my mum is from the GDR, so she didn’t grow up with religion and my dad seceded from church before I was even born) and even my grandma, who was the religious one (albeit never very strongly, compared to American catholics. More a „goes to church on religious holidays“ type of person), drifted away from church quite a bit after all the child-rapist priest shit that was uncovered at the time.

By now (mid 20s) I’d probably consider myself agnostic. Can’t prove there is no higher power but also, if there is, we wouldn’t know what religion – if any – is right anyways. It’s probably not christianity though.

Same here. Couldn’t use Apollo anymore so I downloaded Voyager instead.

Yea, the renault twingo of my ex-fwb felt borderline dangerous above 130kph while in my workplace’s Mercedes B-Class, my comfortable cruising speed is roughly 160kph with 200kph still feeling perfectly in control.

I hope that’s Fahrenheit…

What solutions? Especially what solutions that don’t cost me money and are not overly difficult to implement?

Well, I do want to actually use it though and have my friends be able to use it just as well.

That’s only local (unless you‘ve set up your pihole to be accessed from outside your home network already). Locally you can easily access jellyfin from any device

For remote access to Jellyfin you will need your public ipv4 address or a domain that points to it. Since in most cases your public ip isn’t static (unless you specifically pay for that), you’ll need a dynamic DNS address that regularly updates the ip address your domain points to. In case of duckdns you’d have a url like example.duckdns.org that always points to your ip.

If you are unlucky however and only have a public ipv6 address (Dual Stack Lite; highly depends on where you live and what provider you have). I haven’t found an easy free solution to still getting remote access. The easiest I’ve found is getting a domain from cloudflare and using their tunnel. Worked well and I happened to have a domain already. Streaming media via Cloudflare’s tunnel is technically against their tos though.

There are probably more elegant solutions but I have switched to a different provider since, which does offer an ipv4 address so I didn’t need to look into that any more.

Not without additional configuration. You’ll need to forward jellyfins port in your router and get a dynamic DNS address. That’s not hard to setup though and there are good free dyndns providers like duckdns.

Not having to pay for hardware transcoding/tonemapping is the biggest „selling“point for Jellyfin. I used to have plex before. It worked well but I didn’t want to pay 100€ for transcoding. Never tried emby for the very same reason.

I don’t like him. He’s angry at everything and his videos are a chore to watch. I also feel like he’s sometimes a bit out of touch (I don’t like ads or paying for digital content either, but if no one pays for it, it‘ll stop existing) and a bit pessimistic (yes, companies aren’t your friends, but not everything you perceive as negative is done out of malice, sometimes people are just not thinking stuff through).

However, I do appreciate him as a right to repair activist.

Yep. The reason Windows and macOS are way more accepted than Linux is because they’re essentially idiot proof. Linux is not and that’s not necessarily a good thing if you want the year of the Linux desktop to actually happen one day.

Ok, so arch doesn’t break because it’s unstable, it just breaks anyways. And it doesn’t break more in general, it just breaks worse more often. Got it.

I’ll still stay away from the bleeding edge.

It’s sad that those people make discourse over actual criticism so hard.

Rey is a wonderful example here. Your acquaintance dislikes Rey because she’s a woman. I (and a bunch of other people) dislike Rey because she’s terribly written. If you exchanged her for a man he would still be terribly written. But of course, that legitimate criticism is often lumped in with people crying „woke“ at the sight of a female protagonist.

That’s still exactly what I meant? Sure, arch may never break even though it’s unstable but it being unstable heightens the risk of it (or some program) breaking due to changing library versions breaking dependencies.

Dependency issues happen much more rarely on stable systems. That’s why it’s called stable. And I very much prefer a system that isn’t likely to create dependency issues and thus break something when I update anything.

I‘d rather have a system that is stable and a few months out of date than a system that is so up to date that it breaks. Because then I cannot, in a good conscience, use that system on a device that I need to just work every time I start it.
