Who is behind it and how do you know they are trustworthy? I wasn’t able to find much info but it seems it’s just some company (not a non profit / charity or anything). I know they have paid plans but it seems they also have an incentive or at least an ability to sell your purchase data?

Yip. It might not have been clear but my point was that if you have a SearXNG instance set up and running well, then Kagi may well not be worth the cost since you’ve already got most of its strengths.

If you’re there with Searx then it’s pretty similar to how Kagi works. Kagi sends requests to various search providers and has some of its own index then shows results based on the various sources.

I found Searx/Searxng slow, 5-6 seconds per query (to get a response from each source), though it seems others have it working faster. Might have been some IP or rate limiting issue.

Kagi has easy ways to raise/lower rankings and users can report AI slop pages to have them removed, but all in all Searx gives pretty good results.

I’m using ntfy for notifications. I have some other notifications go through it too so it’s not only used for that.

I guess I just feel like if I need to know something (something is offline etc) then I need a notification, I don’t want to have to be checking a dashboard. I use Uptime Kuma for this.

I see your point with Jellyfin, but I also have the clicks to find active streams as muscle memory and it’s not needed that often so I don’t think I’d go setting up a dashboard just for that.

I used to go for a dashboard like this, but one day I realised none of the stats are actually helpful for anything and stopped using it.

Oh for sure Kodi would be easier, I was just clarifying that there are reasons to pick Jellyfin over Kodi even if it’s only ever internal to your network.

I mean, I’d still prefer Jellyfin as its a server (we actually use Kodi fir playing the content).

Even within the house, you could stream to multiple different devices. If you use something like Findroid you could download stuff for playing offline on your phone, no external access needed.

Just when you think you’ve got all the arrs you need, you find another that could benefit your stack.

My app is like “I know why you’re clicking, here’s a sneak preview of his junk”

The documentation says it’s possible to send test notification:

That whole notification section is not familiar at all. There is current work to completely redo Monica and when I view their beta at beta.monicahq.com then it seems to reflect that new version. So I suspect that documentation is wrong for the current version (which hasn’t been meaningfully updated in years).

In addition to what rhe other user asked, what do logs say, how are you configuring emails?

Thanks for posting this question! I have the same problem and never thought to ask 😑

I think I tried this when troubleshooting and didn’t notice a difference. Nevermind, I pretty easily taught her how to bring up the menu and switch audio streams so she can solve it herself now.

Thanks, I didn’t manage to find many options in swiftfin, you don’t know if I can enforce it for a user from the server side?

I set up Jellyfin on my mother-in-law’s TV, it’s just push play.

My mum has an Apple TV (the device, not the subscription) and on there she uses swiftfin. The only issue has been sound not working on certain audio tracks on certain movies, but in general it is easy for anyone.

Both are very familiar interfaces for anyone used to playing something from a streaming service.

Isn’t it a bit weird since they already have the technology to see which parts you care about most.

Why do they need to use Gemini instead of just basic data analysis to see where viewership drops at the end of a peak part and insert the ad there?

I guess my position is that I am not worried about someone confirming content exists on my server. But I don’t live in the US, if I did I might be more worried. I also geofence to my country to limit exposure.

Cheers for that. Many of these issues allow a user to do admin actions if they do the right things, so it seems you should never allow a user that you don’t fully trust to have an account.

But outside of this, there isn’t anything in there that on its own worries me given the nature of the platform (that is, that if it all burnt down I could retrieve all data from other sources). I’m no expert but a cursory look shows a bunch of potential issues that may be layered with other issues but no clear attack path except with prior knowledge.

These should obviously be fixed but there’s nothing that makes me want to rip my server off the open internet in a hurry.

What kids of things?

I’ve never worried that much because it’s not critical data and it’s containerised in Docker, but I am curious about specifics because large numbers of people expose it to the internet (through reverse proxies).

Isn’t there an assumption it would be behind a reverse proxy… At least I hope that’s the assumption.
