- Comment on What do you use for music library streaming? 5 hours ago:
I did this for a while, and only switched back to Jellyfin/Finamp while degoogling (needed for paid version). I thought it was definitely worth it while I was using it. I also listen to music on the TV and Jellyfin handles it better than other options I tried (including side-loading symfonium).
I currently use a separate music library manager on my server to organize my music collection, then Jellyfin just does the server work.
I think you’ll be very happy with the setup you are using.

FYI, MintPress news (featured in the screenshot) is funded by shadowy oligarchs associated with Putin, Assad, and Iran. That’s how a journalism student with no real world experience founded and funded a million-dollar news source.
I’d trust this app about as far as I can throw Putin.

“Delicious.”

The word ילד would be insufficient. It does not include נער, or עלם, which would be the more likely scenario (not to mention עול, which would be unthinkable). זכר is the more obvious choice.
- Comment on Now I finally get it 6 days ago:
No, you are correct.
If it meant men, it would use the same word twice (like the mediocre translation above). It specifically uses a different word to indicate a different meaning. איש at the beginning of the verse, and זכר in the second part of the verse.
Legitimate scholars all agree that this is not referring to the type of gay relationships that generally exist today. They disagree only with the exact meaning that was intended.
- Comment on Is there a selfhosted eBooks app that can do this? 1 week ago:
I started off with calibre-web and Kavita, but transitioned to calibre-web only. I found that I have a lot of weird formats for comic books that are not handled well by regular comics hosting. If you have everything in standard CBR formats (etc), then you should have no issues.
I found Kavita and komga basically equivalent, but some people have said it makes a difference for manga series.
Calibre-web-automated is a different project with more features and more active development. I’d probably choose that if I were setting it up today.

This is a great platform, especially if you are just beginning in self-hosting. I don’t use it on my deployment “version 2.0” because I found it unnecessary once learning a little more about docker, etc. While I was using it, I loved it, and would definitely recommend it!

I have seen this in a few places in person. It must be relatively common.
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
There have been a lot of discussions about whether voting on Lemmy should be public. Some threadiverse platforms actually take the step of displaying votes and reactions publicly for that very reason.
I won’t attempt to recap those discussions here, but you may be able to search for them.
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Voting functions completely differently between the two sites. I didn’t say that voting doesn’t matter, I said that no one cares about the “points.”
People can and do use voting to let others know about interesting content or to express displeasure at seeing a post (which is why it is sometimes surprising to see any downvotes on certain posts such as the nice one I was responding to in the screenshot).
What people don’t use them for is a measure of merit or reputation. Voting here functions much more like reddit used to years ago. It helps sort content by what people want to see.
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
While it is important to know that voting is not private (nor truly is direct messaging), that is not in itself a danger.
Lemmy is community driven, and so it is — broadly speaking — governed by community norms and the platform is responsive to the needs of those norms. If someone is harassing or mistreating you on the basis of your voting, then you can take it up with an admin. I’ve seen people called out for the use of vote manipulation, but I’m not sure what it would look like to be targeted based on your votes.
By the way, there are also mechanisms for publicly addressing grievances with mods and admins.
Most importantly, recognize that it does take time to adjust to the reality that no one cares about the fake internet points here. Reddit uses dark patterns to manipulate users into equating votes with worthiness. Having a lot of karma on reddit contributes to a person’s reputation and credibility there. Here, no one cares, or even sees, a person’s vote totals. Like most everything else, it’s technically public, but it’s not visible or indicated.
Why does reddit want you to care about your karma? For engagement and metrics. If people are only incentivized to share genuine interests and human interaction, then they won’t scroll mindlessly for quite as long. If every post and comment is incentivized for maximum virality, then Reddit can sell more eyeballs to advertisers. Plus, if people care enough about their fake points, they will literally pay to buy reputation. Reddit doesn’t care about your well-being, just your ad impressions. Like any other social media corp.
Welcome to a better, healthier, more transparent place. We are far from perfect, but no one here will use dark patterns to mine you for content.

- Comment on A "political blackmail" – the EU Parliament is pressing for new mandatory scanning of your private chats 2 weeks ago:
Not sure if I missed the joke but I’m obviously referencing the Jeffrey Epstein list. Which exists. Which powerful world leaders could get much more easily than cracking open every single civilian phone.
That is, if they were really interested in catching sex offenders and not just demolishing civil liberties.

Man, if only there were some kind of list of high profile sex offenders that some world government could access to catch them. If that existed, I’m sure the people clamoring to find sex offenders would use it immediately.

- Comment on Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives? 2 weeks ago:
I found this: codeberg.org/mysearchhistory123/lms
LMS - Lightweight Music Server
LMS is a self-hosted music streaming software: access your music collection from anywhere using a web interface!
I also found this: codeberg.org/thororen/Feishin
Feishin
Rewrite of Sonixd.
Features:
- MPV player backend
- Web player backend
- Modern UI
- Scrobble playback to your server
- Smart playlist editor (Navidrome)
- Synchronized and unsynchronized lyrics support
Some elements of these are on github and I can’t attest to either. Neither has recent updates, but should function. Web interfaces and API support should mean that you have some mobile options. Like others, I object to your reasoning, but this is a community to help one another, so your reasoning for your goals doesn’t really matter to me.
I don’t think that you are likely to find any software that meets all of your requirements, but I hope this helps.

Yes, I’ve been running the two commands one after the other. I’m assuming that daemon-reload reloads the files into memory or whatever?
