I think it’s kinda better using quadlets, because I wrote some custom scripts, and quadlets made the process better. But podman compose is probably file too.

Rootless. The docker containers were rootful, hence the permission struggles.

Yes of course. Had to spend a couple of hours fixing permission related issues.

Just did that last weekend. Nothing to do anymore. 😢

Damn, I guess I’ll stick to the older release for now. Hopefully a viable alternative/fork comes around.

I just did uv tool install yt-dlp[default] --with mutagen. Updates are handled automatically.

I’ve always been kinda technically motivated. The only reason I didn’t actually study computer science is that I had a great math teacher who made me fall in love with math. But I had it for a minor, and like to read stuff up from time to time. So, I guess I’m kinda in the grey area in regards to being a person in tech.

Anyway, I love tinkering with stuff, so I inevitably got into self hosting. Nowadays, I’ve even started maintaining some self hosted software.

Symfonium is great, and in its current state, probably the best Subsonic client for android. (Tempus is good enough for me though.) But best of luck if you ever have a nontrivial issue and ask the dev for help. That’s one abrasive mf. (Just take a look here. It’s hard to find anyone so full of themselves.)

That said, if it works for your needs, it’s a great app. I won’t judge anyone for using it, but I’m someone who can’t and won’t separate the art from its artist. If that applies to you, you’ve been warned.

On Android, you should try out Tempus.

To anyone saying they’re happy since they already have a lifetime Plex pass, do you really think they won’t come for you too?

Does Jellyfin do smart playlists yet?

Edit: There seems to be a plugin. So, now it’s just about the fact that I already have it set up the way I want, and that I don’t wanna put all my eggs in the same basket. But I guess using Jellyfin for music is totally viable now.

I don’t think it’ll be ideal. Converting the mirror to z1 would be a big hassle. I don’t see any migration path where I can safely lose a disk without losing data. Also, if both of the old drives fail, I lose everything.

In any case, I’m perfectly happy with 8TB for now. It’s a doubling of my current capacity, of which I’m only using around 70%. I’ll be fine for quite a few years.
(Also, won’t it be around 12 TB, and not 14.5 TB?)

Wow. Hope you calm down later and realize what an insufferable cunt you’re being right now. (I’m not going to give you a retort anymore, because it’s clear that all of that is falling onto deaf ears. Fucking hell.)

I’m not a member of the Plex community, never have been.

so what can I trust the jellyfin community to do?

Clear double standards. Just use the product if you want to.

yes please explain to me what I have to do.

Alright, man. Do what you want. I’m just pointing out that you have a weird double standard, ffs. Have a great day. (Or maybe not, I don’t wanna tell you what to do.)

maybe focus on more of that and less shitting on Plex

Also, you seem to be happy to tell people what they need to do. (I realize I’m being petty and annoying here, but that’s kinda on purpose for this one. I get pretty fucking frustrated by double standards.)

No. You know you don’t need to join a community for using something, right? I didn’t join a community for my dishwasher. Not even for most of my apps, actually. It’s very easy. When you choose corporate, you’re giving money for shit service. There’s literally no way for dissociate from that. On the other hand, you can simply not participate in a community, no one’s forcing you. It’s just weird that you’d still prefer the corporate way.

I’ll take a corporate shitheel company over a roach infested toxic community any day.

What an asinine fucking take. Even if Plex were better than Jellyfin in every single way (it isn’t), this take would still be asinine. I mean, wtf dude. You can just not care about the community and everything keeps working. A “shitheel” company will do everything to make your experience suck.
