You are clearly in the wrong here. Please take a time-out.
I used Plex for a long time but moved to Jellyfin after reading about the general direction Plex is going (trying to commercialize it, partner up with industry, make it more than just a self hosted media service).
Both have what you’re looking for.
I would say Plex is slightly easier and has the benefit of PlexAmp (available for Linux, Windows, and mobile).
That being said, Jellyfin is about the same ease to get set up, but it’s just a tad less polished, but in sort of a nice way. It feels more like “yours”, if that makes sense.
For both, I recommend hosting them in Docker, using Docker Compose, and using the LinuxServer version. LinuxServer maintains updated software, packaged in an easy to install format and they help you out with sample Docker Compose files and explanations to get things running.
People look at expensive houses more often than not. You can definitely send someone, though, like if you’re looking at a house in a different city and can’t get there just for a showing. We did that once and had our friend do a video chat with us.
We decided to not host any sort of Buy-Sell-Trade community on our hobby instance for this reason. It’s a small community so a lot of people know usernames of people they know and can trust. It’s very easy for a scammer to use someone’s username and say “I’ll sell you that thing! Send me $150!”.
Honest quetion, what’s a stan account?
Oh that’s cool. I was right, only 9 monthly users.
We run on the cheapest Hetzner VPS we can, which is about $8 USD/month. Pictrs are on cloudflare R2. Pictrs storage hovers around 14GB and we have yet to get a non-zero invoice.
Our active users are super low (I think). I don’t think the lemmy interface tells you the number of active users for in instance, just for communities, but since it’s a niche instance I can safely say it’s around 10 people.
So that’s a little less than a dollar per month per user. On the existing VPS I think we could safely add a bunch of users without needing to upgrade.
I was about to say “of course you can trust it, it’s from The Internet Archive”, but the ArchiveTeam slogan is “We Are Going To Rescue Your Shit”. Now I wonder if they’re officially affiliated or not.
Oh wow. Weird that it defaults to off.
Holy cow. You can use your mouse with micro. Amazing.
I don’t have a tech background. Currently hosting 25 different things in docker. I wonder if there are actually more non-tech people who do it, because tech industry people might want to take a break in their off time.
You could replace them with z-wave switches. The switches by default would control the respective lights they’re wired to, but you could use scenes to control the other switch. For example, 2x up on the canister light switch turns on the pendant light (and not the canister lights, unless you want that, too).
I have similar stuff programmed with Home Assistant using Node-Red, but the normal automation stuff would work, too.
Home Assistant/Node-Red sees that Scene 2 (or whatever) has been called for, and then does whatever you want.
Ah, interesting. That experience combined with the wording of “this update requires postgres 16”, I can see where the confusion comes from.
Interestingly enough, they fixed the documentation. Now it says “We recommend upgrading to PostgreSQL 16 due to a known memory leak in PSQL 15. To use the new image proxy feature, pict-rs version 0.5+ is required.” https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4_-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements
My understanding is that postgres doesn’t need to be upgraded. It’ll still work with version 15 or whatever you have. Postgres 15 has some sort of memory leak that they’re trying to get away from, so they made 16 the new default.
Same with the “requirement” to upgrade pict-rs to the latest version. You can keep the old version if you don’t care about the new image proxy feature.
Really it’s a not a problem of needing to upgrade this stuff, but a problem with the documentation which isn’t clear. That’s a big weak spot for the Lemmy project in my opinion. I only learned the above information from lurking a bit in the Matrix chat.
Thank you! I’ve already updated.
Good question. HA Green looks pretty cool. With that processor, though, running something like Frigate might not work very well.
For me, I run HA on a normal computer that I turned into a “server”. Home Assistant was a gateway drug and now I run all sorts of other stuff in addition to it. I use Proxmox (as described in the article) so HA is a virtual machine, and there’s a Debian virtual machine with a bunch of Docker stuff going. Having Docker run in a VM makes backups much easier.
For HA alone, the Green looks pretty cool. Most people probably won’t outgrown it, but I certainly have.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Yes. It’s not just the community that you mentioned. Bans for any sort of comment that disagrees with the opinions of the mods or admins.
They spout rhetoric about echo chambers while they’re the worst example.
I use them when warranted, which isn’t very often. I don’t think the avoidance of using swears is a religious thing, it’s a language/cultural thing. For some reason they’re just deemed “bad words”. They exist in almost all languages and cultures as far as I know.
A good friend of mine swears a lot unless kids are around. I don’t mind it, but he’s sort of “that guy” because of it. If he was someone I just met, I’d think he’s just a bit lowbrow and that’s about it. I wouldn’t think poorly of anyone because of it as long as their attitude is good.
