Are you aware of any other options or forks that work with jellyfin? There’s PseudoTV but it only works with Plex libraries.

No idea, I quit that rat-race job 4 years ago and haven’t used it since then. I am never gonna work a job that requires being online and available all the time ever agaib.

We used meetfranz.com at my previous job where we had tons of external clients with different messengers.
- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 5 days ago:
I haven’t used such a router in decades, I just know from doing IT support at friends homes. These people have no clue how to get around these DNS filters.
- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 5 days ago:
Many German providers have hardcoded DNS servers in their rental routers though and they block everything from torrent directories to iptv sites.

Does Lawrence Systems still not publish on peertube?
- Comment on How bad of an idea is it to use computing HDDs in a DIY NAS? 3 weeks ago:
Never use SMR disks in a RAID/NAS. You’re taking a huge gamble on data loss / disk failures if you do. Also it will be slow as fuck, really fucking slow, often unusable for anything but incredibly slow backups.
CMR disks are the ONLY way to go.

If I see AI slop I downvote. Shouldn’t that generally take care if it if everybody does it?

Didn’t know that, I always read it was American.
Sorry Canadians - my apologies.

My bad, sorry Canadians!
I just read a thread on hackernews where a bunch of Europeans where switching to netbird because of migration away from US tech, so I guess that was a mistake on their part.
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 1 month ago:
Tailscale is american. There are European alternatives like netbird.io or self hosted headscale.

In some places you can still get 32GB DDR4 for a kidney if you‘re lucky.
- Comment on Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die? 1 month ago:
It’ll die with me. Albeit probably a slow death over a couple months, I have to be realistic here - none of my family members will care enough to keep anything running in the long run.
It’s the same fate your grandma’s unfinished knitted scarves and socks had a couple years ago.

Every country working with Palantir is completely giving up their sovereignty to the fascist US technocracy.

As a sign of good will all politicians will make all of communication public starting today. That includes private and personal matters as well as all conversations with donors, party members and all government bodies and officials.
- Comment on Kemi Badenoch: Tories to scrap petrol ban if they win next election 3 months ago:
No, not at all. I am just saying there are more effective ways of steering people in the right direction here than banning their beloved combustion engines.
Just creating an illusion of choice while the eco friendly option is the only sensible option for their wallets will do the trick and they will rave about their new car and how much money they save instead of bitching about bans and stupid politicians.
- Comment on Kemi Badenoch: Tories to scrap petrol ban if they win next election 3 months ago:
Bans are the worst form of politics anyways. Just show people how much more affordable the alternatives are and subsidize local manufacturing of new environmentally friendly and sustainable tech. Let people make their own choices with their wallets and all will work out in the long run. People don’t want to be told what to do.

- Comment on Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN. 3 months ago:
Home Assistant can send wake on lan commands.
If you have a remotely accessible Home Assistant Server on your LAN it can send the commands for you on the LAN while you access it remotely.
- Comment on New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." 3 months ago:
Does this include Youtube videos? Or at least Youtube videos without a clear description and summary?
Those constant ad money farming posts really lower the quality of this sub.
- Comment on Questions about EU meat import ban due to FMD 3 months ago:
You write “Traditional Hungarian Christmas treats” - no lies.
- Comment on Questions about EU meat import ban due to FMD 3 months ago:
I would just eat 3-15kg while I’m in Hungary. That’s the easiest way to get around the import issue, nobody will bat an eye if you bring back 5kg extra weight after Christmas.

If you like her check out “Bread on Penguins” too. She was suggested to me because I watch Veronica and I really dig the way she does her videos too. She’s the complete opposite of the mainstream YouTubers and just a nice person who really enjoys Linux and making videos.

I‘m a realist in that regard, once I am gone all my hard work will go to shit in 6-12 months no matter how much I train an instruct my friends and family. They just don’t care enough.
