I depends a bit on your threat model. If you have Jellyfin exposed to the internet I would shut it down immediately. If you are running locally and rely on it, let it run maybe? If behind a tailnet or some other VPN, I would deactivate it as well. If it is an Axios like vulnerability it may be possible your secrets are in danger, dependent on how well they are secured. Not a security expert, but I would handle this a little more conservative…

Don’t know that software, but that was fun to read lol

TIL nano editor has its own logo

A popular app where you can share and split expenses with a group of people. It’s very useful for example when you are on vacation with 3 or more people and everybody pays something. At the end the app tells you how much everyone has to pay everyone back.

Split wise was great in the past, but it was enshittified pretty badly. That’s why alternatives are always welcome!

I switched from Splitwise to Tricount long time ago. But I am really interested in this open source alternative. Anybody already got experiences with it?

Also bought an Optiplex to run Jellyfin on it. Can recommend it.

I’m using Pi-hole for half a year now and am super happy. What is unbound?

It’s not that I don’t want to buy a mini PC. But for this little project I might abandon like my many programming projects a massive investment is just not worth it. I payed 300€ on a TV some years ago, I just cannot pay the double amount for a device I use for streaming. I might upgrade if Jellyfin turns out to be my companion, but then everything needs to work, remote streaming from outside my network included.

Thanks for your advice though. I will look into a used fire stick, but if I understand correctly, this would act as a jellyfin client for watching on my TV.

Nah, it’s a cheap Chinese TV with a random OS, so I guess I need to find a workaround. I don’t buy at amazon so I thought of another Pi.

Noted, RAM is important.

Okay, so without the need of transcoding I gather a Pi 4 or 5 may actually be fine? What about the rare case I get hands on a Blu-Ray, H.264 would not work?

Noted, remote streaming will be an extra step I can tackle after I created my setup, it may easily work or may not.

How do I find out what codec a file has? I guess there is a ffmpeg command to check and also to convert?

Does that mean I can rip all my DVDs to the H.264 format to be sure all devices can play the file? Is there a disadvantage using H.264?

With remote streaming I mean of course streaming outside of my network.
