Well, yeah true it started like that. But still Jellyfin followed the open source path. I’d expect that under the hood there would be very little left of what was Emby, it was just a starting point. (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby , before they changed the licensing and removed any further work to the GPL 2 version).

Also Emby is at 4.8.1 now and has been making leaps and bounds in changes lately.

As I said, licensing was the issue for Emby, and the easiest solution was to change their license. It wasn’t just to make money, it was about being able to handle licenses from other software, such as Fraunhofer

no. Jellyfin aims to be totally open source.

Emby is not, and the reason it works better. They pay the licenses for mp4 etc. earn it back from those who support, but it never was truly open source.

Jellyfin is open source, and that is the reason they have “problems” (licensing issues, that you have circumvent if you look hard enough).

For set and forget, Emby and Plex are the choices. Emby does not have a bullshit money making agenda, and is the better option - currently.

“obscure Emby”… You don’t get out much, do you.

Emby is a direct competitor to Plex, and its better. It doesn’t require and internet connection to work, doesnt force signup, its completely self hosted if you want. The dev is responsive, bugs are fixed quickly.

It does have subscription options if you want, none are required for full functionality.

Emby is not FOSS, but neither is Plex.

libre translate maybe? There are several on the list.

dont know about traditional board games, but if you have a 3D printer look for “3d printer [game name] pieces”

connect 4, mouse trap to name a couple.

I bet boggle and stuff like that are out there as well.

You know what, I watch and see what muslims do to others and to themselves. Animals. Nothing more. They can hate each other and kill each other all they like. I dont care. Start killing other religions in the name of their own - fuck them, bomb the lot.

Religion of “peace” - fuck off dickhead.

TBH I don’t really care either, but here is the simple fact. The ongoing war in Gaza, is HAMAS against Israel.

HAMAS is not Palestine. HAMAS are liars and terrorists, and promote themselves with propaganda and lies, so they can grow in numbers. HAMAS are not interested in making a better Palestine.

Let this Palestinian explain it to you: https://www.prageru.com/video/a-palestinian-explains-hamas

Oh and if you are uncertain: the enemy is probably the one driving around with naked dead people in the back of their truck, bragging about what they did. That woman, they killed, stripped naked and mounted on the back of the truck to parade around - was a German.

As I have said in the past, there are plenty of good free ones, and there are also spotweb (spotnab) sites that are great as long as your a fast (ie dcma).

Also the “arrrs” were designed with usenet first, its not an afterthought.

if you want to get access to good indexers, then yeah you may need to wait until you get am invite or an invite period opens, but you have to do this, its just how they operate.

you can do torrents and usenet in your arrr, at the same time. So nothing stops you from having both.

but the SPEED AND RELEASES youll see on usenet are unsurpassed and probably at least a week earlier than on your torrent sites.

Also you can run your own indexer for usenet (wont be as good as some because it wont deal with obfuscated posts, but as a backup it will be fine)

Id suggest you go down the rabbit hole and decide for yourself if you like it, you can always cancel.

oh and usenet is encrypted (if you enable it, ie port 563) so not much chance of knowing what your are doing. No more than a VPN company letting on to what a user was doing.

i should give jellyfin another shot, its been some years. When i tried it last, it was not a nice experience. But i refused to use plex after it required login for even offline access (i wonder how many people remember that. If you lost internet access, you couldnt watch plex)

so i switched to Emby, which is still closed source, but didnt have the bullshit plex requirements. The advantage was [sic] that being closed it could offer proprietary stuff like codecs or DTS. (dts and similar were only available on plex and on nVidia TV device)

Everything i do (as much as possible) is oss, but some things just cant.

Ill try jellyfin again in the next month or so and see how its doing.

Welp, their threat doesn’t affect me. I have no care for that barbaric country.

Besides, I’ve blocked everything geo-labelled as Russia anyway, it makes for much easier firewall logs. Honestly “the West” as russians say, should flat out block the entire country to our internet.

This would stop a lot of hacking and exploiting, and they’re basically dictating everything to their people at this point, so let them just become a new N.Korea.

They want our tech, they don’t want to co-op or collab with the West and everything they have/do is inferior. Cut them off at the neck.

(Im biased, my mother’s parents were Polish and Ukraine, and I’ve been to both places many times and russia is an arsehat in general)

you why can join be the a navy pirate when?

Youtube started to show me an overlay telling me to disable my adblocker and a countdown timer before I could play the video.

I used my adblocker to block the overlay… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ClamAV and ClamWin (frontend for windows) are FOSS software, however do note that Clam does not offer real-time protection. For Linux it does offer On-Access scanning, this additionally needs to be setup. I am unaware if the current Windows version(s) has changed this.

The correct answer is 2.58 metres.

Free Download Manager is okay for me for the occasional torrent i grab, otherwise its great for just downloading in general. (window only i think)

however most of my activity is in usenet/nzb and ive settled on nzbget for this work. I ran sabnzbd for a long time (and concurrently), but it seems that nzbget works for everything no probs.

Ive been out of the torrent game for a long while, and dont know the current status of projects like qtorrent.

This.

I can handle DDMMYY[YY] it reads correctly. But YYYYMMDD is numerically correct, most signifcant to least significant digitwise.

That thing only American’s do, is completely non-sensical.

I’d also like to make those who use opnsense aware that there is a community that specifically targets it. Of course we are here in Selfhosted to help, and wouldn’t stop.

Specific help might need more dedicated assistance :D

KMSPico still works, but take care of where you get it from.

Stay safe.

Sorry, I needed more words to be functionally accurate.

I replied to a nginx plugin question years ago on Reddit. Simple fact is, the plugin is really just designed to host a simple-ish webpage. https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNsenseFirewall/comments/klauwb/setting_up_a_web_server_on_my_opnsense_box_with/

I recommend you serve whatever you want to serving on vm’s/whatever on your internal network, and then use HAProxy (Built-in) to do the forwarding via opnsense. HAProxy is a High Availability and Performance proxy and load balancer, it does what nginx proxy manager does and more.
