Happy paying customer here, it’s great to see the innovations they’re making and their interactions with the community.

I exported a bunch of m3u’s from MusicBee, and Jellyfin picked 'em up just fine. Thanks for the tip!

Seems like Plex is making things difficult though, not showing up at all. What a pain.

Another Kagi subscriber here. I do it mainly to support the little guy rather than some big tech giant like Google or Microsoft, but I’m quite enjoying the new features they’ve been adding over time.

Oh this looks excellent, I’ll give this a crack. I tried looking for an app of a similar purpose a while back, but everything looked fishy as hell

The current state of copyright and software patents just infuriate me to no end. It’s actively stifling innovation and competition, all in the name of money…

I’m very keen to see this get battle tested in reviewers hands, and especially seeing what developers can make this thing do. The price is very high, but if it can live up to its claim of supporting AR desktops from a MacBook, I could see businesses and on-the-go freelancers getting some great use out of it where space may be limited.

Can’t say I have. Have you got any resources I could look into to get started?

I’ve just built my first NAS. I went very overkill for my needs, so bought 5x8TB drives, 32GB of RAM, a Ryzen 5600G, and 1TB of NVMe SSD storage to compliment my HDD space. I’ve installed TrueNAS and have plugged the HDDs into a RAID-Z2 config, yielding about 20TB of usable space, with the 1TB SSD being a separate pool for anything that can benefit from faster IO, which have generally been applications / VMs. Currently using it as a network drive for all my data, and am using BorgBackup to ensure everything’s backed up. At some point I’d like to get a remote BorgBackup repository going, but I’ve not gotten around to it yet.

I’m also using it to host a VM for my web dev projects I can access via RDP and Tailscale, and have started installing PhotoPrism for my photos, SyncThing for my dev projects (so I can continue coding across my PC and laptop seamlessly), and eventually I’d like to get Plex / Jellyfin going, though I already have a setup going via WhatBox.

Thanks for your answer, being fairly out of the loop on all of this it’s quite interesting to hear. I’ve also experienced a number of upgrade pains. I’m quite diligent with storing important data external to the OS, but it still sucks when the only real option is to nuke the drive and install again.

What pain points do you find with Linux? How does OpenBSD differ?

I find it’s not quite as stable as Plex, especially when streaming on my Android phone and switching apps while playing a movie / show.

I love SyncThing, been using it to sync my programming projects between machines (desktop, laptop, other laptop…) and it’s been rock solid on a Vultr host

You still on vanilla, or have you started diving into Greg’s mods?

Awesome. Love the site, and I’m glad to see Lemmy getting some more recognition; always seemed like Lemmy was missing in Fediverse discussions

I’ve got a playlist going on my local Jellyfin instance featuring songs from Kingdom Hearts, Hollow Knight, Ori and the Blind Forst/Will of the Wisps, The Witcher 3, Celeste, and some other games. Super relaxing, helps me get into the zone.
