Interesting approach, I would have to test this out. I don’t usually add people to my Tail net, but share my server as single device. I don’t think there is low limit for that, but I am not sure.

Very easy server-wise. But you may neeed to help your family member/friend with the initial set up on the client, if they are not so tech-savy.

Do you have any experience with logseq? I am using it as I looked for an obsidian alternative that is FOSS. I don’t really use much of its possibilities though, so I don’t really know how they compare.

IT department told us to not use any browser until further notice lol

I don’t think that is how it works. I don’t necessarily need a reference to tell something is a good or a bad product. I have never said that Jellyfin is more polished than Plex is, just that my impreession is contadictionary to yours of Jellyfin being a duct-taped mess. No idea why you would argue against another persons obviously subjective opinion?

Not that I want to disagree with you, and I have never used Plex. But I was shocked how polished and easy Jellyfin is for an open source project when I used it the first time. It feels like a very mature piece of software to me. My gf really loves it, too.

I agree setting up tailscale for remote access was a bit of a learning curve though.

Not self hosted, but I’m a huge fan of Broccoli!

We are all learning and we all make mistakes. It’s part of the journey.

Not a server, but a storage box from Hetzner I use for my most important off-site backup. At home I have a small Dell Optiplex that runs Jellyfin and is exposed outwards via Tailscale. It does consume a lot of electricity, was cheap, great performance. I don’t know what is holding you back from self-hosting, but it does not need a lot of effort.

But why is the list not hosted in a repo or something but instead needs to be over at lemmy.ml?

That sounds interesting — can you show me how to reverse a linked list in Python?

That’s a nice setup. I actually let restic do my backups. Is there an advantage of using EncFS/rsync? Like not having to use SSH?

I don’t quite remember what I set as this was more than half a year ago. But the images couldn’t be removed as easily, also not from the GUI view, as they were somehow not registered in a certain list that should have shown them. And since then I just use the terminal out of habit.

However I just found an article about Mint removing old kernels once a week automatically.

I had the problem that all old kernel images were kept when updating through the GUI updater. This led to my root partition getting fuller and fuller*. I needed some really obscure commands to remove those old images, since then I only update via terminal. I guess it was some kind of bug, but for me as a standard user it was a really serious one.

*I need to say I made the mistake of splitting root and home and giving the root partition only 40 GB, because I read internet advices about needing to change my distro frequently, turns out that was not the case

Rule 7+8

Fully agree, so much wrong with it. It should be a phrase of the past.

Time for an alias!
