Plex isn’t perfect, but the open-source aspect of Jellyfin is holding the platform back. Fractured development across its third-party ecosystem prevents any clients from being as functional as apps like Plexamp while also creating hyper-focused support for popular platforms and leaving smaller platforms virtually unsupported.

This is a strange take. Being open source doesn’t cause unfocused development and platform prioritization issues. Those both happen to proprietary software, especially the latter.

These are more symptoms of it being a community project rather than developed by a company, but community FOSS projects can also be run very effectively. There are many examples of this.

A lot of FOSS development is done by the people who use it. So I suspect as more people move away from Plex, a subset of those users will help contribute to the aspects of Jellyfin they care about.

Jellyfin development is accelerating, while Plex’s enshittification is accelerating. The line is different for everyone, and one by one, I suspect Plex will cross them all.

If you already know NFS and it works for you, why change it? As long as you’re keeping it between Linux machines on the LAN, I see nothing wrong with NFS.

Considering how the US government is currently burning its agencies to the ground, I’m pretty sure that would be even worse.

Understandable, I’m mostly just commenting on the demographic in this particular Lemmy topic.

I get that “just port it to Linux” is no easy undertaking, especially if multiplatform wasn’t part of the original architecture.

This project looks interesting, and this update does come with some significant improvements. However, I imagine on Lemmy you’ll find a pretty high percentage of Linux users, who won’t be able to use the client. Something like this with a Linux client that can integrate with Lutris to install games would be really cool.

This is fine, but I ditched Ubuntu on my raspberry pi’s when they kept breaking DNS by changing my network configuration with every upgrade.

That’s neat! There’s so many advanced features of systemd I swear I learn something new every time it comes up.

This author was definitely craving coffee while writing this.

Hold off on this one if you use the official docker container.

This update has some broken dependencies the prevent it from starting correctly.

Y’all only have 1 comma in your AWS bills?

Connect with hot services on your LAN.

Why is this marked NSFW?

Yes, you absolutely could do that. You can run it locally and access it on localhost:8010

Also, even if you have it on a server on the LAN, many people would consider LAN “offline”.

I swear WSL already had Arch.

Let’s Encrypt has done so much for encouraging the spread of HTTPS and good certificate practices. If they went away, I honestly think a good chunk of the internet would start breaking after ~6 months.

This really sucks. I honestly didn’t know the Feds gave so much money to FOSS, but I looked up the USAGM and that makes sense.

It tracks with current trends. Basically anything that could be interpreted as benefiting any county other than the United States or any demographic other than rich white men is getting funding cut. What an embarrassment.

At a time when decentralizing information is critical, our tools to do so are also threatened.

Configurations behind a reverse proxy that did not explicitly configure trusted proxies will not work after this release. This was never a supported configuration, so please ensure you correct your configuration before upgrading. See the updated docs here for more information.

Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!
