Sudo -u otheruser do still go trough root?

Great man! Gentoo lover and long time addicted here… Keep it the good work!

Yes because a 28yo good looking female who dresses is a less than professional way is clearly an experienced and trustworthy financial advisor on something simple and safe like future trading…

I Remember listening to my first mp3 even and being blown away by the sheer quality of a 128kb mp3 over low end sound blaster shitty output compared to home recorded tapes from radio …

My first CD-Rom burner paid itself, literally, within weeks. Best investment I even done. But after I covered the cost (400.000 lire) I only ever made backup copies of my preferred Linux ISOs for myself, too much perceived risk.

It’s reached 37° here in north west Italy today, in the countryside. Granted, it’s summer, but it’s also unusually hot for the month.

I fully respect your comment, and I don’t doubt there are good reasons behind Plex. I choose to use jellyfin because I was put off by the corporate product resell approach of Plex that goes against my self host idea, so I never used Plex and cannot say anything bad about it.

But I find annoying and even suspicious that every time there is a Plex or jellyfin discussion a few voices always denigrate jellyfin like it’s a no good choice for lack of features or dubious security and such.

Yes guys (not talking to you in specific) I understand that jellyfin lacks those features, many people don’t care, and who do care they already know.

There is an active fork which job is to accept public patches before they are accepted in cwa. The fork acknowledge that cwa development speed is not that fast, privilege on stability.

I switched on the fork happily

hosting it since long time… Amazing! Great to be able to play directly in browser. My kid loves it…

thank you for the suggestion, will try it out! I am using a Fire Stick

Been on jellyfin since day one. Works fine, UI is great and gets the job done. TV UI maybe not top notch, buy usable. Mobile UI just fine and usable.

Also, exposed on the internet (reverse proxy, OIDC, https the works) for years now with zero issues whatsoever as well .

There are a few users always throwing thrash on jellyfin, maybe pissed off users that paid for Plex, or Plex shills that like to denigrate jellyfin, I don’t know.

Just ignore them.

Jellyfin is perfectly usable, yes you need to setup port forward, VPN or whatever, but it’s exactly our target audience so move along and stop bitching, Plex shills.

Stay with Plex, use jellyfin, whatever fit your bill.

Anyway plex does not fit my concept of self hosting to be free from cloud lock ins.

As far as I get it, subsonic has an open API implemented by navidrome and a few other open source servers. All subsonic compatible apps will work.

For Android the best is by far Symfonium, but it a paid app (well worth it).

Otherwise tempus is another valid and open source app.

And no, subsonic (and navidrome) has nothing to do with audiobooks or podcasts. I selfhost both navidrome and audiobook shelf to cover all cases, and I am pretty comfortable.

It’s a myth.

Yes it takes longer, but specialy on headless server updates are pretty fast

Big boys like LibreOffice Firefox have also pre built binaries if you so prefer as well …

I use Gentoo since amd k6-400 MHz times so today build times feel like no wait at all

Low effort post?

What even is LuisCore?

No not much of the words let me understand what it does, except it has a new shiny feature about blah blah super specific mumble.

Mich more than that. Https also certifies that the website is who it pretends to be.

Https add an encryption layer on top of http. Except that, they are the same. Also, https provide a way to make sure the website is who he claims to be and not a random hacker website pretending to be it.

Whatever you do on https it’s encrypted end to end and cannot be read by somebody in the middle.

For example, if you login to a webpage with http your password will be sent in clear text and possibly read by somebody in the middle (your internet provider, your company, any other network in between …) while on https that same password is encrypted before it leaves your browser and it’s safe until it reaches the server, where is decrypted

It works with a chain of certificates approved by some authorities that your browser trust, so that beside encryption you can also trust that the website you are connecting to is actually who it claims to be (of course, that require you trusting the web site certificate and chain of trust).

Futo keyboard?

It’s open source works pretty well, can’t say for aesthetic check it out

Yes, but I was thinking more of a real router, one with many Ethernet plugs. Afterall an Android phone already is a router if you enable wifi hot spot…

Yes, but which long of router? The lack of physical Ethernet ports will be kind of a limit…

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 :)
