  • I access it via NPM the same as I access most of the rest of my services. As far as I’ve been able to tell, unauthenticated viewing can happen on Jellyfin, but the person trying to access it will need to know the path that Jellyfin uses to access the media. If you already know my internal file paths, you can watch it from my server I suppose.

    I quit using Plex for my own enjoyment a year or two ago when my work decided to block Plex.tv, I can still reach my personal server as it’s accessible to the internet, but I cannot login as that requires being able to access Plex’s authentication servers. At least with Jellyfin I can use my own Authentik instance for auth.














  • Yeah, I’m feeling the pain from my old enterprise gear but moving away from it has been hard. Right now I have an old 720XD for storage (12, 6tb spinning rust, 2 smaller SSDs for cache), an old Intel server with shitloads of RAM, an old R610 (at this point it’s only there for a service or two that I could surely migrate), a couple old HP MicroServer gen8’s, and an old HP SFF desktop. There are months my power bill looks like a mortgage.


  • My mom used to keep an old photo she took back in '65 or '67 (she said she was a little girl at the time but took the picture so I assume around 10-ish). It was a photo of my grandmothers back yard and clear as day there was a classic disc shaped craft.

    The story she told about it was that it came in over Tampa bay and got really close to the water, she said the water was churning under it like it was boiling and there were tons of dead fish floating on the water after it passed. My grandfather was an arial photographer at the time and had a darkroom at home and they had copies drying when the government showed up to talk to residents. They confiscated all the negatives and pictures save the one she had with her to show her friend, and gave the explanation that swamp gas had killed the fish and was the reason for the churning water.

    I don’t know how I feel about it, but having lost my mother 25+ years ago and the look in her eyes when she talked about it, I’ll keep on believing it was real.
