I use Windows Server because that’s what I know. Though I am curious to learn other OSes when I have more time. I don’t use docker so that’s really not a problem for now.

Wait I don’t have a reverse proxy because I don’t need one. I just installed the jellyfin for windows version and then you just connect to it.

I didn’t. I don’t need remote access. We don’t watch TV outside the house.

Right on that’s great to hear

Right now its a Thinkpad T480 with 64G ram and 1tb ssd. If it turns out we use Jellyfin enough I plan to get something more powerful for it.

its kinda crazy having your own personal netflix, right?

It truly is!

Wow, is your entire website AI generated slop?

You don’t like the one you posted to the Jellyfin comm labout 30min ago? If not then why share it?

I grew up in the era of where you could download a program, ie napster, limewire, icq and be on your way

That’s not a hacker that’s a media pirate. It’s the same today. Get a VPN, a torrent client and go to piratebay. You’re there.

So what is a Hacker? Simply someone who is deeply curious about how things work and has a high aptitude for visual reasoning, making them able to figure out how to get things to do stuff the designer never intended. Such a person cannot be stopped from exploring how things work. Its in their blood. As such they will deeply learn anything they study.

Thanks!

You can find a description of my first project here lemmy.world/post/48204688

I’ll look into it, thanks!

Thanks!

It does feel great to be able to provide something like this for my family and to know that i control the data. For the thinkpad, I’ll look into the options when I have a bit more time. For now I took the battery out. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks!

Windows is what I already but I’m also curious to learn linux and bsd at some point.

Is your next post going to be in a baking comm asking people if they have considered just buying a loaf at the grocery? Its an important life lesson to get early that its OK that other people have different tastes and priorities than you do.

That’s so cool! Have you ever tried a BSD?

So true! I met a friend of a friend at a church social last week and he spent the whole time trying to convince me to try FreeBSD instead of selfhosting on Windows. I might try it someday but as polite as he was about it he just couldn’t get the hint lol

Nice to hear it!
