Jellyfin on FreeBSD
We all love media - to some extent at least!Movies, TV Shows and all the moving pictures we can find and consume.So, since we all have movies etc. on our NAS/HDD/SSD/whatever we should be able to play and see everything we have on all our connected devices.But what can we do?Simple, we leverage Jellyfin to present our media to us.
In this little howto we will set up Jellyfin in a Jail on FreeBSD.
Let's get right to it!

Jails can be created in different ways. In this […]

What are all the #selfhosters doing for a home stereo that connects to #Jellyfin ?
@vkc your recent video on ditching streaming is resonating deeply with me! I've been on #jellyfin / #finamp for about 6 months now and have loved every second of it.
At first, I was a bit annoyed by the exact mental difficulty I was presented with when looking at my library and having to actually chose what I wanted to listen to, but I've since learned that this is actually a good thing! Im no longer cognitive offloading (real term I recently learned) my choice in media to an algo! Woohoo!
My plans for the week:
▪️ install #DietPi on my old #RaspberryPi3 (https://dietpi.com)
▪️ flash the #YunoHost pre-installed disk image to a new MicroSD card and attempt to set it up on on my #RaspberryPi5
▪️ if I'm successful, I'll set up #Jellyfin on it
▪️ create a little storage system for my microSD cards so I can swap them in and out (I won't wipe the one that has #Ubuntu on it, but set it aside so I can use it in the future)
I have a hunch I will ask 🎅 for a new Raspi this coming Christmas... maybe the #RaspberryPi500 😅

Hello Fedi friends!
I'm back in Paris after France's 2 week-long school holidays (thank you to the two sets of grandparents for looking after my little one).
I was SO EXCITED to do backups on my Mac Mini this morning and do the Spanish sound mix for my Fedi promo video (thanks to @irenerd 's wonderful work) but I'm locked out of my system.
I forgot my wired Apple keyboard in Italy and my wireless one had never been paired to this Mac Mini.
All this to say LINUX is the best because I was able to connect my Raspi to the wireless keyboard thanks to the login screen accessibility button and the ability to turn on a virtual keyboard. Aw Mac OS you could learn so much from Linux, honestly 😏
I just ordered a wired keyboard that should arrive tomorrow afternoon... so no video editing work for a bit, but at least I have a laptop AND a Raspi with Ubuntu to do other stuff...
This week I'm setting up my music library in #Jellyfin YAY.
Wishing you all a lovely day & week.
Dear Fedi friends,
If you can set aside 11 minutes today, I highly encourage to watch @vkc's latest video: "I stream nothing, and I am happy."

It is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT and should be shown in media literacy and digital literacy classes everywhere. Actually, everyone should watch it (I'm about to send it to my family and friends).
My favorite part comes up towards the end. Veronica eloquently explains (9 min 27 sec in):
"I feel like we owe it to ourselves and to those who follow us to try and break free of algorithms, which tell us what we should like, who we should believe, and how we should feel about it.
It may sound melodramatic and maybe it is, but I see the increased dependence on algorithmically-driven entertainment as a symptom of that larger problem: uber-convenience that separates us from our critical thinking.
We're learning to abandon reason for small decisions, and wouldn't you know it, now it's easier to ignore reasons for the larger ones.
I'm not here to tell you what to think. I was raised in a "mind-your-own-damn-business" household and that's where my head is at. But I do want to implore all of us to think critically about how streaming media, autoplay, and the algorithm are impacting us."
I'm super proud to be a backer of her Patreon and I cannot thank her enough for this incredible video... which comes at the perfect time, as I was already planning to set up #Jellyfin next week.

this is probably my favorite video of Veronica's - even if it's not technically a tutorial. I have already learned so much from her. She speaks so eloquently about the erosion of critical thinking brought forward by algorithmic media.
I was already super motivated to set up Jellyfin... now I'm checking out websites about garage sales in my area, so I can enlarge my music and DVD collection 😊
@elena @tizianomattei @vkc +1 for #Jellyfin and let me throw two more to the mix. The #Navidrome for music and #Audiobookshelf for… you guessed right! Audiobooks :)
