On the contrary. It relies on the premise of segregating binaries, config and data. But since it is only running one app, then it is a bare minimum version of it. Most containers systems include elements that also deduplicate common required binaries. So, the containers are usually very small and efficient. While a traditional system’s libraries could balloon to dozens of gigabytes, pieces of which are only used at a time by different software. Containers can be made headless and barebones very easily. Cutting the fat, and leaving only the most essential libraries. Fitting in very tiny and underpowered hardware applications without losing functionality or performance.

Don’t be afraid of it, it’s like Lego but for software.

Mostly pictures I take myself. I dabble on photography and photo editing as a hobby.

It’s disingenuous to say, “oh it’s exactly the same phone”. It’s a narrow interpretation of “it’s the same design language and nothing revolutionary”. But compared to the S23 it’s a massive power overhaul on the processor. It has 12GB of ram. The screen is top notch LTPO, which the S23 didn’t have. The cameras are way improved, it can film 8K, which the S23 couldn’t. It has the toughest Gorilla screen to date. Sure, the changes year after year are nothing to write home about. But small incremental changes stack over time. The average person is keeping phones for 3 or more years. Compared to an S22 or S21, it’s a beast upgrade. I think those are the people they are marketing to, and it’s smart, no one sane is buying a new phone every single year and a lot of people value a new device over a refurbished or used one.

How hard would be to make it run on TrueNAS as a jail? Docker is kind of a painful mess on TrueNAS.

In the words of Dylan Beattie. “There are only two had problems in software programming. Cache invalidation and naming things. So let’s talk about DNS…”

FOSS are not monolithic entities. Some individual with the knowledge, skills and free time has to be willing to work on those things. Most people who develop certain features in open source, do so because of a personal interest. If you don’t have the skills yourself, you can go find whoever maintains that app or someone willing to contribute and drop them a donation for their continued effort.

Monolithic tech giants accostumed people to pay for services with their private data and attention. As the past year has proven, this wasn’t a healthy arrangement and the comeuppance was way overdue. Contribute to the solution, don’t just complain about the problem.

Dude, they want people to know, so they go to where people is. This is not field of dreams, if you build it no one will come unless you tell them where to find it. Try to relax a little, they do have a Mastodon and even have a Matrix instance bridged to Discord. They engage on Lemmy as well. Just, breathe deeply and put the toxicity away.

I think that’s the point. They are not in 100 places, they are in one. If you want support about Jellyfin, you go to Jellyfin. It was always kind of stupid with Reddit.

I need support with Jellyfin, so I go to Google, write my query, add Reddit at the end, go to result that may or may not be related, try to discover the difference between the 3 or 4 different but related subreddits to find out which one is the official. Discover that none of them is. Find another sub about cutting cable. There’s a vague answer that’s similar to your issue but not exactly. Maybe try asking them directly on Twitter.

Now you just go to jellyfin.org and the forum is right there, search there for your issue or write your answer. All in one single official place that is looked at and maintained by the very same team. It’s just better overall

Chats are not forums. Discord is the same bullcrap than Reddit and Facebook, just newer on the enshittification cycle. People should just have forums and someone could make a containerized microservice that federates it to Activity Hub. Now it’s searchable, indexable, publicly available and archivable.
