only the time period is configurable from 10 minutes

Got damn what? 10 minutes‽ LMAO I can’t imagine how practical a phone that rebooted every 10 minutes would be except for maybe some super serious spy crap maybe lol

for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

Haha yeah

Hides my car always pushing 10k miles

Who said that? I did a search in the thread and no Ody said anything about that that I saw

Basically, slammed the source code door shut after making promissory statements like “Don’t worry, we’ll always be open source” for years. With little/no notice they relicensed everything and pivoted to a closed source paywall model.

No discussion with the community or contributors, no alternatives explored, no polls or surveys. Just woke up one day to a “Sorry, but we’re going closed source because moneyyyy” blog post

Jellyfin was born right after, forked out of vengeance.

In retrospect we should have seen it coming when they would do odd little things, like keeping the build scripts closed source n crap, but eh hindsight and all that lol

They’re not just closed source, they started as the open source project response to Plex. It was promised that they would be open source forever. They lied, slammed the source door shut a few years later and pivoted to a paywall.

There was no discussion with the community or contributors, no alternatives explored, no surveys or polls.

Just a “Sorry we’re going closed source” blog post, Jellyfin was forked from them in vengeance.

It’s very relevant, it directly speaks to how they’ll behave themselves closed where they can make crap decisions even easier.

Plex for all its issues, at least was upfront most who jumped on the Plex train did so with the knowledge that it might enshittify and honestly it’s not as bad as it could be

A bunch of us who started on the Emby train did so under the pretense that at worst we might have to deal with a paid subscription or support contract type of deal.

That was a lie, I was there 10 years ago when it went down, that’s when I pivoted to Plex full time (I had been running both for like a year at that point)

The first stop was when they went closed, they didn’t just go closed peacefully and Jellyfin didn’t fork off in a quiet way either

It was a complete betrayal, Emby made promises that they would remain open source forever. They broke that promise in a slow walked plan. It started with “Oh just some of the build scripts will be closed source, but don’t worry the rest of Emby will stay open!”

Until one day they slammed that door shut with a no notice relicensing and an “Oh sorry we’re going closed source because we just can’t make enough money”

There was no discussion with the community, no alternatives explored and it was mainly the arbitrary decision of a single person. It wasn’t even discussed with contributors.

Jellyfin was forked from Emby in vengeance, not some sort of planned fork like you’re making it seem

Yea because like I said, they’re on an enshittification train on the same track just some stops behind, except they started with far worse decisions

That’s just putting them on another enshitification train that just happens to be a couple stops back, but is still moving along.

How they went about going closed source was unforgivable and also means they will absolutely have no qualms implementing crappy enshitification type decisions in the future

Not JUST closed source, the project owner slammed the source shut with no discussion with the community and little notice nor did they even bother to consider any alternatives whatsoever

They went about it in the shittiest most unforgivable way possible for an open source project.

Emby used to be open sourced but offered the Emby Premiere subscription for some added features, and the open source half allowed people to just bypass the paywall, so they closed sourced it. Jellyfin is a Fork of Emby pre-closed sourcing.

You should not be recommending them at all for any reason for that. I was there and saw the shit that went down over it.

Emby should be considered a no-go for all purposes.

Absolutely not, fuck Emby with a branding iron, they’re far shittier than Plex’s decisions.

At least Plex started out as a for-profit company and has never misrepresented themselves as anything but. Unlike Emby.

FUCK Emby! What they did was worse than what Plex is doing even now

I just wish there was a remote desktop app that took advantage of the Android Fold API so that it splits the desktop into the first half of the screen and uses the other for an on-screen trackpad/keyboard.

It would be perfect, but alas I haven’t found one yet :(

Lol I very much want them, my foldy phone solves every problem that a tablet solves, if I had had a tablet near me when I needed it that is. Which, since it’s a secondary device needing to be carried in addition, I never did. Ever.

Now whenever something happens and I get stuck somewhere longer or just waiting at an airport or just waiting for something in general a common thought of the past would be “damn I wish I had a bigger screen/brought tablet with me”. I haven’t thought that thought in over 2 years since I made the switch.

It’s the first damn “tablet” I’ve ever had in my love that actually got used LMAO

If you want to say they’re not ready for prime time or have issues that still need to be worked out is one thing

But they’re not stupid, a tablet’s biggest problem is that they’re a second device you need to carry around to be of use. Being able to have a small tablet with you at all times and there when you need it the most is a good idea

Plus the tech that went into it to make glass fold in half is freaking cool lol

How well does it go over if you try to say “well acktuslly…” when it comes to password changes.

Well, it went over easy, but I also gained the authority to implement or toss such policies when I took my job LMAO

In any case, I was referring to the “my environment” part since it implied you had such authority and were just choosing to emulate policies of others, ofc I don’t mean to make decisions you don’t have the authority to. Hard evidence is hard evidence though, it does give you a leg to stand on should you propose such changes

still want to make sure even on my private network I’m using valid certs. A lot of security departments require that too even if the device isn’t public facing.

Is there a hard source with evidence that this is at all needed? Because there are a lot of things that “security departments” do that amount to security theater. Like forcing arbitrary password changes org wide.

Note, I say DDR4 for cost reasons, if you’re willing, able and desire to spend more upfront for some future proofing DDR5 is newer and faster and comes in higher per-stick capacities. But it is considerably more expensive than DDR4 for the newness

I clocked my 2 full 2u servers (1Us and 2Us (esp 1Us) tend to be the louder screecher variety because of the considerably smaller fans, 3 and 4U servers trend towards more quiet and lower tone, closer to a typical desktop fan) at 82DBs on a desible meter app whose most powerful GPU is a single 1080 for transcoding purposes that isn’t even under load ATM

A TrueNAS probably wouldn’t be too bad, if you’re the type to enjoy whitenoisr to sleep it might even be beneficial.

The Proxmox will be the one with the 2-4 GPUs yes? It’ll fucking sound like a 747 is taking off in your bedroom whenever it’s under load

Also don’t forget cooling, I basement is a good option because its naturally cooler, but you’ll still need to ensure good airflow. Assuming your basement is not in a hot state/country, if it is you’ll need to explore dedicated active cooling systems. If you own or otherwise can make modifications, a split mini/heat pump system would do well.

It will generate considerable heat, I posted a meme just the other day about my servers doubling as a heater supplement system. Kinda of exaggerating for the meme, but it does have an effect. It increases the temp in my basement office 8-10 degrees under load

Makes sense, this was also years ago so small details are being forgotten, could have also been a 15 or possibly 20. It was one circuit split between 2 rooms, which was the norm apparently for the time it was built in the early 80s (and not a damn thing was ever upgraded, including the outlets)

It was also a small extinguisher handleable fire, but it was enough to be scary AF LMAO
