    Lowering the entry barrier is a good thing… Self hosting need critical mass to support and use all the nice things we like to selfhost

    More so, from the point of view of big tech independence, for those who care, again lowering the barrier is very important

    So welcome to docker and stuff, I use docker for half my stuff or more, it’s just so much more convenient.

    But never stop trying to understand and don’t be a passive docker-puller whenever possible :)

    Now, let me be polemical here …

    (And this is to be read with a pinch of /s)

    Selfhosting on windows and understanding what you do is so much better than selfhost on CasaOS/ZimaOS/FancyWebGui/Synology and just spin up containers randomly without even understand what a container is and how it does work at all …

    Now roast me :)















  • Agree. I went directly with Jellyfin because I joined late the party, but never regret it.

    So can’t comment on Plex, because I never used it. But I see the news and see the enshittified path it’s going on with Plex

    I understand that they need revenue, specially if they actually provide the bandwidth to let you access your media from outside home. I also understand why people is mad, but I guess convenience come with a price, of you don’t want to pay for it, there are alternatives I don’t see anything bad in switching to jellyfin.
