beautiful post, thank you!! I’ve been using the same traveling USB for ages at this point and will probably upgrade soon, this research is super useful

pretty certain their just confused why someone would say there’s not a niche for a chat client. chat clients always have, and always will exist.

interesting. I actually haven’t had any throughput issues yet but if I do I will definitely keep that in mind

yep!

I run jellyfin on bare metal because it makes it easier to debug imo, but I do use docker for caddy and some other little applications (like a tomcat instance for example)

my servers run alpine! it’s incredibly stable even for hobbiest use

camel for java. flat for c

thanks for the explanation. I’ll stick with jellyfin for now, I’ve heard rough things about privacy with Plex and that explains why.

personally, I wouldn’t want my files going through plexs servers, especially with how shit I’ve heard they are with their privacy policy. that’s a really interesting concept tho, and makes a lot of sense. I doubt jellyfin will ever do that simply because they don’t have the resources to host that as you said.

thanks for the explanation tho! greatly appreciated

I haven’t used Plex in a while, but I’m confused how Plex handles WAN connections without using any port forwarding? how is that possible?

really? I never had an issue with just sticking it behind a reverse proxy, doing some port forwarding, and setting an apex domain record, that was it. curious what wasn’t working for you?

yeah and the said part is most people without the tech background would never notice the index.php in the URL, or care.

every single time I have issues with my self hosted servers. it’s always the DNS lol

I could never own a dell. as far as I’m concerned, they make crazy overpriced laptops that are pretty much guaranteed to need 200$ of maintenance down the road when the hinges inevitably fail.

programming! I had heard that programming is better on Linux so I gave it a go and quickly realized it was better for everything else as well

damn I didn’t realize they were arm devices, I assumed all surfaces were x86. thanks for the info!
