  • Anime and .ass subtitles are a bit funky but that’s not due to jellyfin but the player used while streaming in direct play. (In my case)

    I had the issue where on my mobile/laptop some subtitles just disappeared or where strangely formated. After some digging arround I found out that VLC was the culprit and changing the default player to MPV or alternatives like Findroid (which uses MPV as default player) everything went butter smooth in direct play !

    No idea about transcoding though :/



  • I don’t know if it’s bad UX or UI, but I do agree there’s something really disturbing with jellyfin’s options and tweaks… More than once I lost my way and had to click on every option button again to find a specific thing to disable/enable something?

    Now It’s easier after I have passed some time in the options/user menu, but some tweaks and options are not very intuitive.

    Other than that, Jellyfin is awesome and I can’t believe something as good as Jellyfin is free and open source. Thanks to all devloppers behind this, I hope they will stay true to open source and jellyfin will last forever !! But I doubt it.



  • Helle there ! It’s still Saturday here :p !

    I recently setup weechat (IRC) and learned about bouncers. From what I understand it’s similar to a proxy but with backlogging IRC conversation. I’m still new to it and have a lot a new things to learn.

    I’m thinking to self-host my personal bouncer on some cheap VPS.

    Other than that was busy with encoding with av1an and encode my bluray library to AV1 codec :).

    I also recently self-hosted metube (yt-dlp web frontend) to download some music from RiMusic. Still need to work on a shortcut with HTTPS shortcut on Android !





  • I was in the same boat… I just wanted a simple god damn self-hosted cloudStorage without any nitty gritty or all the bloat that comes with most local/self-hosted cloud solution…

    Syncthing is good, but not really a cloud storage solution (I love syncthing and I use It to sync all my backups !!).

    Give SFTPGo a try :) It also has a WebDAV functionality if you wan’t to use it that way ! It just plain file storage with security features. However, not sure there are any application available, I mostly used it as web application :).


  • Planning to close my Google Play Developer Account. Please say hi if you are interested in obtaining the latest gplay release files from me to help in publishing this app.

    Seems like most open source project are leaving Google’s official store? That’s nice but will leave out some potential visibility for people who have no idea other than Google Store.

    I wish their was also an easy way to leave github behind :/. Wait&See !!

    I had the same question a few days ago. My voidling is only 3 years old and sometimes has the same attitude as shown on your picture with a long and deep exasperation breath (like hoomans when they are bored/depressed).

    So I guess they can feel ennui if your cat is used to be very playful and you stop playing with them.

    But we will never know for sure, because this is only based on observation :).


  • Not directly an issue, however I found NextCloud and OwnCloud to much bloated and not very responsive. I tried all the possible alternatives and they all had some strange drawbacks (proprietary database, chunked into some weired file format…)

    Sure I could just use my nextcloud instance without all the possible add-ons, but I just wanted a simple and a reliable cloud service that just syncs my files between my devices without all the bloat.

    My final argument would be that it is written in PHP… Programming language of the past ! While I’m probably wrong on this one and I do have no idea of the programming language realm and probably evolved over time, I do prefer something written in a newer more “secure” language.

    So that’s why I settled with syncthing. It’s not a cloud service but a syncing service. It’s different but has the same purpose in the end with more configuration options on how/where and when to sync between my devices.

    As a final note (cauz I remembered something) 3 years ago I had a really hard time to make NextCloud work properly, via docker, with my reverse proxie (Treafik) I had to allow it manually in a configuration file and still didn’t work great, but was probably my skill issues at that time :).



  • Very cool and nice share !!

    I’m also an organize freak and also have my own bash script to loop over my files and encode everything to AV1 :).

    While my script is ugly as fuck (not a coder here so I’m doing what I can XD) it works and fills my need.

    I won’t use your script directly, however I will take inspiration of your bash script code ! That’s okay I guess?

    Thanks for sharing with the community !!






  • Except that everything is under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.

    If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.

    If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try in a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.

    I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.

    That’s way something like cloudflare is populare, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.
