Just me rambling about the start of my homelabbing adventure

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.

@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 :)

Oooh! Shiny new version of #JellyFin for Android TV.
https://jellyfin.org/posts/androidtv-v0.19.0/

Question for Jellyfin (or Plex) users: how do you have your movies and TV show libraries set up? Just two generic "movies" and "TV shows" libraries? Separate ones by genre/studio/some other categories?

Sembra che Google Safe Browsing sia stato sviluppato senza considerare il software open source o self-hosted. Molti progetti popolari hanno riscontrato problemi simili, come:

I need some #Linux touchers and #HomeLab gurus to explain in excruciating detail what I'm doing wrong.

I want my #JellyFin server to be served over HTTPS.

I had nginxproxymanager running, but it has stopped working with Let's Encrypt.

What's the *simplest* way to add HTTPS to #JellyFin? It's an Ubuntu box with the default Jellyfin installed (no Docker or anything complicated like that).

Informed speculation welcomed!

My digital independence roadmap for the year ahead:

Phase 1: liberate my music and movie libraries with #Jellyfin (I just installed it YAY)

Phase 2: liberate my audiobook collection with #AudioBookshelf

Phase 3: liberate my photo and video libraries with #Immich / stop paying for iCloud

Phase 4: jailbreak my Kindle and liberate my eBook collection

Looks like I will be busy through the end of 2026 😅​

Once you start #selfhosting, there is no way back 💪​

#digitalsovereignty #BTfree

still, for some use cases, #Navidrome via mobile #tempo app seems better choice: it supports downloads and offline listening, offers Home page with suggestions. #jellyfin clearly wins on smart TVs. while using it via webbrowser is a tie, for some aspects former is better ( #Navidrome seems slightly lighter), for other the latter ie music is better organised out of the box in #jellyfin.
